Abstract

Diode experiments that trigger the anode plasma formation by external radiation have been carried out with the goal of producing a pure beam of metallic ions. The anode of a race-track-type MID, which is coated with a sodium film in situ by vapor deposition, is synchronously irradiated by radiation emitted from a vacuum diode. Pure beams of Na+ are extracted only under operation with the radiation trigger. The current density reaches the Child–Langmuir limit.
