Hollow-Cathode Low-Pressure Arc Discharges and Their Application in Plasma Generators and Charged-Particle Sources

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study of hollow-cathode arc discharges which generate gas-discharge plasmas of densities 1010–1012 cm–3 in large volumes (∼1 m3) at low pressures (10–2–1 Pa) and at discharge currents of up to 200 A. Consideration is given to the design and peculiarities of hot-cathode and cold-cathode discharge systems. The parameters of plasma generators and charged-particle sources where use is made of arc discharges are cited and the problems of the most efficient application of such systems in technological processes of solid surface modification are discussed.
