The main goal of this work is to study the effect of pierce angle (67.5°) of cone anode head, the exit of ion beam in a radial direction and the range of nitrogen gas operating pressure on the output ion beam current. It was found that a maximum ion beam current can be obtained in radial direction than that ion beam in axial direction which obtained in the previous study. So that a direct current conical anode-disc cathode ion source with radial extraction was designed, constructed and operated. The optimum head angle of conical anode, ion exit aperture diameter and ion exit aperture - Faraday cup distance was determined at the ion source optimum dimensions obtained previously using nitrogen gas. The electrical discharge and the output ion beam current characteristics were measured ... view moreĀ»
