摘要
A discharge system is proposed in which an auxiliary gas discharge is used to inject electrons into the cathode cavity of a hollow-cathode glow discharge. A study is made of the region of stable existence of a non-self-sustaining hollow-cathode discharge. It is shown that the injection of electrons permits a reduction to <10(-2) Pa in the minimum pressure at which a discharge can exist. It is shown experimentally that this discharge can be used to generate wide-aperture ion beams. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
