20090140176 | NON-AMBIPOLAR RADIO-FREQUENCY PLASMA ELECTRON SOURCE AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING ELECTRON BEAMS - An electron generating device extracts electrons, through an electron sheath, from plasma produced using RF fields.

Voids in the negatively-biased conducting surface allow the time-varying magnetic fields provided by the antenna to inductively couple to the plasma within the conducting surface. The conducting surface acts as a Faraday shield, which reduces any time-varying electric fields from entering the conductive surface, i.e. blocks capacitive coupling between the antenna and the plasma. | 2009-06-04 |
