We present the results of investigations of the floating potential compensation of dielectric target in selfsustained plasma beam discharge in the magnetic field. We use gridless single-stage plasma accelerators with closed ...

The combined system composed of the vacuum arc evaporator and plasmaoptical system with plasma lens (PL) geometry are presented and studied. The plasmadynamical characteristics of high density low energy plasma flow propagating ...

We describe a new approach for creation an effective, low-cost, low-maintenance axially symmetric plasma optical tools for focusing and manipulating high-current beams of negatively charged particles, electrons and negative ...

It is shown that the ion plasma flow originated from cathodic spots of vacuum arc discharge, at its propagation through cylindrical electrode with proper voltage bias, initiates hollow cathode discharge, which is ...
