Effect of solenoidal magnetic field on charge-state purity in laser ion source

A solenoidal magnetic field has been used to enhance the ion flux of a laser ion source. However, the dependence of the increase in ion current on the charge-state has not been clarified. In this study, to control the purity of the charge-state in the laser ion source, we investigated the effect of...

Zusammenfassung:A solenoidal magnetic field has been used to enhance the ion flux of a laser ion source. However, the dependence of the increase in ion current on the charge-state has not been clarified. In this study, to control the purity of the charge-state in the laser ion source, we investigated the effect of a solenoidal magnetic field on the charge-state distribution of ions in laser ion sources with a solenoid. The results indicate that the flux of ions with a heavier and/or lower charge-state can be increased using higher magnetic flux densities, and that each charged ion has an optimal solenoidal magnetic flux density that maximizes its flux. These results imply that it is possible to increase the purity of the desired charge-state ions by selecting a suitable solenoidal magnetic flux density.
