Mr. Bedilov et al., A laser mass spectrometer with the secondary CuBe emitter for amplification of pulses from multiply charged ions of laser plasma, INSTR EXP R, 44(5), 2001, pp. 666-667
A laser mass spectrometer with the secondary CuBe emitter was used to amply
weak pulses of multiply charged ions of laser plasma. The use of the secon
dary emitter helped increase the spectrometer sensitivity by one to two ord
ers of magnitude and detect the pulses of multiply charged ions (Al4+, Al5, and Al6+) of laser plasma. The pump power density was 50 GW/cm(2).
