Abstract
This work involves an extensive study of the dependence on temperature (T) of the energy spread (DeltaE(1/2)) and potential energy deficit of the ener gy distribution of the Ge++ beam produced by a Liquid metal alloy ion sourc e. The liquid metal alloy is Au77Ge14Si9. Differences between consecutive s ets of measurements were found but the energy spread versus temperature mea surements agree remarkably well with a recent model that predicts DeltaE(1/ 2) proportional to T-1/2. However, some questions involving the results eit her remain unresolved or are tentatively answered.
