Negative Ion Emission from a Stainless Steel Surface Due to Positive Ion Collisions

Published

Abstract

Absolute yields of negative ions and secondary electrons resulting from positive ions impacting a stainless steel surface have been determined as a function of the impact energy. The surface conditions range from those commonly found in situ for discharge electrodes to a surface free of any adsorbate. The implications of these findings to discharge modeling are discussed.
