Time-dependence ion charge state distributions of vacuum arcs: An interpretation involving atoms and charge exchange collisions

TL;DR: In this article, an interpretation involving atoms and charge exchange collisions is presented. But the authors focus on the time dependence of ion charge state distributions of vacuum arcs and do not consider the effect of ion exchange collisions.

Impurity transport modelling in the scrape off layer ofthe MAST tokamak using DIVIMP-OSM-EIRENEand carbon injection

TL;DR: In this paper, an electrical discharge between two carbon electrodes was measured by two cameras operating at 75kHz − 100kHz mounted on the MAST vessel, and the resultant transport of the carbon ions parallel to the background magnetic field was compared against simulation using the DIVIMP-OSM-EIRENE code.

Ion acceleration and cooling in gasless self-sputtering

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deduce the existence of a highly asymmetric, pressure-driven potential hump which acts as a controlling watershed between the ion return flux and the expanding plasma.

Ion charge state distributions of vacuum arc plasmas: The origin of species

TL;DR: In this article, the Debye-H{umlt u}ckel approximation of the nonideal plasma for all metals of the Periodic Table and for boron, carbon, silicon, and germanium was calculated under the assumption that the spot plasma experiences an instantaneous transition from equilibrium to nonequilibrium while expanding.

Ion velocities in vacuum arc plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, drift time measurements via the delay time between arc current modulation and ion flux modulation were used to determine the temperature, average charge state, and ion velocity of the expanding vacuum arc plasma.
