Ionic liquid ion sources: characterization of externally wetted emitters.

TLDR
The feasibility of electrostatically extracting and accelerating ions from room temperature ionic liquids in a high vacuum environment is investigated using externally wetted emitters similar to those manufactured for liquid metal ion sources, made out of tungsten wire and electrochemical treated to produce a sharp tip and to increase surface wettability.
