Vl. Galansky et al., PHYSICAL PROCESSES IN PLASMA ELECTRON EMITTERS BASED ON A HOLLOW-CATHODE REFLECTED DISCHARGE, Journal of physics. D, Applied physics, 27(5), 1994, pp. 953-961
The physical processes taking place in plasma electron emitters based
on a hollow-cathode reflected discharge are analysed. Spatial distribu
tions of the plasma parameters in the discharge chamber and in the emi
ssion channel have been calculated. The effect of electron emission on
the plasma parameters in the discharge chamber and in the emission ch
annel is discussed.
