Z. Guo et al., GENERATION OF AN ATOMIC NITROGEN ION-BEAM BY DC GLOW-DISCHARGE AND ITS REACTION WITH A GRAPHITE SURFACE AND THE LASER-ABLATION PLUME OF GRAPHITE, Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 32(3), 1998, pp. 213-216
Atomic nitrogen ion beams were generated by dc glow discharges. A very
high ratio of N+/N-2(+), up to 5/1, was achieved. The preliminary res
ults of the reaction of the beam with a graphite surface and with the
laser ablation plume of graphite are presented.
