Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying the inner surface of a tube by ion surface modification techniques, such as ion implantation, ion mixing and ion beam assisted coating. The apparatus includes a plasma source, preferably a vacuum arc, a first magnet for guiding the plasma into a drift tube. A second magnet is spaced from the first magnet and has a current running opposite to the first magnet. A radial extractor surrounds the area between the magnets, which form a cusp therebetween. The plasma follows the field lines, exiting the drift tube to the extractor, where the ions are removed and accelerated outwardly in a radial direction. With the entire apparatus placed in a tube, the ions will impact the inner wall of the tube. The resulting ion implantation advantageously modifies the surface, typically increasing wear and erosion resistance, improving corrosion resistance, increasing fatigue life, etc. The apparatus may be used to coat the tube interior with the cathode material by operating the extractor at a lower voltage or omitting the extractor. The apparatus may be inserted in tubes and moved along the tube to treat the walls of very long tubes.

Abstract: A sealed neutron tube is set forth, containing a low-pressure gaseous deuterium-tritium mixture wherefrom an ion source (13) forms an ion beam which traverses an acceleration electrode (17) and is projected with high energy onto a target (16) in order to produce therein a fusion reaction which causes an emission of neutrons. In accordance with the invention, the ion source comprises a cold cathode with strictly electrostatic confinement of ionizing electrons; this is achieved by using an anode which is connected to a positive potential and which has a weakly collective surface facing the repulsive surface of the cathode cavity; the anode is arranged along the axis of the cavity in which it is arranged; said cavity constitutes the internal part of the cathode (15) in which the electrons (e.sub.2) which oscillate along very long paths in comparison with the dimensions of the cathode cavity ionize the gas and form an ionized gas wherefrom the ion beam (22) is extracted for standard ion optical device (17).

A supply is also provided for supplying a first gas for a discharge into the main chamber, as well as an electron extracting arrangement for extracting electrons from the first plasma. Also included are a second chamber for producing a second plasma by discharge excitation of the extracted electrons and ionizing a second gas as a source gas, a further supply for supplying the second gas into the second chamber, and a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field for guiding the extracted electrons toward the second chamber.

Abstract: Method of ionizing a gas within a chamber having a cathode disposed therein, wherein the sputtering effect upon the cathode is substantially reduced to prolong the life of the cathode. The cathode within the chamber is initially activated to emit thermal electrons by applying a voltage thereto. The gas to be ionized is then introduced into the chamber along with an active gas. Ionization of the gas to be ionized is then achieved by subjecting the gas to be ionized to the thermal electrodes emitted by the cathode. The voltage applied to the cathode and the voltage between the cathode and the wall of the chamber are regulated so as to maintain a substantially constant electric arc current flowing from the wall of the chamber to the cathode. A predetermined mixture ratio is maintained as between the active gas and the gas to be ionized within the chamber so as to induce growth in the volume of the cathode at least partially offsetting the removal of atoms from the cathode caused by sputtering, the predetermined mixture ratio being maintained by controlling the introduction of the active gas into the chamber.

Abstract: A source of a beam of ions includes in a housing a cathode filament, an anode spaced from the cathode and housing an ion emission opening therethrough and an intermediate electrode between the cathode and anode and having an opening therethrough in alignment with the opening in the anode. An inlet opening extends through the housing into the space between the anode and the intermediate electrode to admit a flow of starting gas and the gas to be ionized into the housing. An outlet opening is through the housing adjacent the cathode and a pump is connected to the outlet opening. In the operation of the ion source a flow of the starting gas is provided through the housing and over the cathode to initiate the discharge. Then the gas to be ionized is admitted into the housing. Some of the gas is ionized to generate the desired ions and the rest of the gas is drawn out of the housing to remove impurities generated at the cathode and thereby increase the lifetime of the cathode. Once the ionizing gas is admitted into the housing, the flow of the starting gas is stopped.

Abstract: The ion source comprises a discharge chamber in which is located a tubular anode. A knife-edged cathode is mounted closely adjacent one edge of the anode to provide arc electrons for ionization of a fuel passing through the chamber. An axial magnetic field controls electron path length to provide optimum ionization. Alternatively, a hot wire cathode may be located interiorly of the discharge chamber to produce electrons by thermionic emission, thereby creating a Penning discharge. The electron source employed is chosen in accordance with the fuel to be ionized, the desired ion current level, and the desired lifetime of the ion source.
