  Ion source - Patent 5317161   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)

The duoplasmatron type ion source defined in claim 9 wherein the potential of said third electrode is so dimensioned that at the center of the window of the third electrode, its potential is equal to or only slightly less than the potential of said first electrode.
In known duoplasmatron ion sources, upon extraction of the ions by the electrode arrangement connected to the plasma space or chamber, a significant fraction of the ions will have a lower energy than the extraction energy and originate rom particles which are ionized by impingement in the region between anode plates and extraction electrodes.

 Source of ions with at least two ionization chambers, in particular for forming chemically reactive ion beams - Patent ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
One ion source of the duoplasmatron type comprises a succession of a hot cathode, an intermediate electrode and an anode pierced with a discharge hole through which exits a plasma jet formed by the electrons and by the positive ions produced by this source.
In the duoplasmatron, an arc is produced between the cathode and the anode, this arc being constricted in the vicinity of the discharge hole of the anode under the effect of an electrostatic action caused by the intermediate electrode and a magnetic lens action created between the anode and the intermediate electrode.
The duopigatron is distinguished from the duoplasmatron by the fact that in the duopigatron a fourth electrode, disposed downstream of the anode, is brought, by means of an auxiliary voltage source, to a negative potential with respect to that of the anode thus forming an anti-cathode which is pierced with a discharge hole.

 Ion beam - Wikpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Today's ion beam sources are typically derived from the mercury vapor thrusters developed by NASA in the 1960s.
One type of ion beam source, the duoplasmatron operates as follows: a cathode filament emits electrons into a vacuum chamber.
A gas such as Argon is introduced in very small quantities into the chamber, where it becomes charged or ionized through interactions with the free electrons from the cathode, forming a plasma.

 Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Instrumentation Tutorial
Typical SIMS instruments use either a duoplasmatron or a surface ionization primary ion source (or both).
The duoplasmatron can operate with virtually any gas, but oxygen is the most common because oxygen implantation into the sample surface enhances ionization efficiency for electropositive elements.
For example, Cr, Fe, and Ni ions sputter from stainless steel surfaces within a duoplasmatron.

 Ion Sources
This is a cold cathode arc discharge source that is used to produce metallic ions by sputtering of the source cathode and to produce multiply charged ions due to the unique characteristics of the arc discharge.
The Duoplasmatron can be used to produce negative ions for direct extraction from the source.
Since the arc discharge is rich in negative ions as well as positive ones, by reversing the polarity of the beam extraction voltage, a significant current of negative ions for various species is available.

In general, an O- primary beam is used when samples are being analyzed for metals and transition metals, whereas a Cs+ ion beam is employed for the analysis of non-metal species.
Our machine possesses two ion sources for the generation of the primary ion beam: (1) a 'hollow cathode duoplasmatron' for generating an oxygen ion beam and (2) a cesium microbeam source.
Only one of these ion sources is used at a given time, which source is selected depends on which elements are being analyzed in the sample.

 ION SOURCES AND ELECTRON GUNS
Normally, the plasma streaming through the anode hole would be too dense to allow the extraction of ion beams with good optical properties so the plasma is allowed to expand into some form of expansion cup.
Historically, negative hydrogen ion sources were modifications of existing proton sources such as duoplasmatrons with the ions extracted from the anode plasma off axis.
Insertion of a floating electrode into the channel of the plasma chamber improved the yield of negative ions but the addition of caesium to the discharge dramatically increased the ion current (and electrons) [15].

One would think that effects of hydrino interaction in chemistry and physics would have been noticed previously, even if an explaination for anomalous energy was not at the times formed.
