Abstract

The anisotropic perturbation of a hollow-cathode reflex discharge plasma when electrons are extracted from it through an axial channel in the cathode-reflector is experimentally investigated. The expansion of the extracted electrons energy spectrum in the direction of extraction was observed as the external accelerating electric field increased. The energy spectrum expansion is associated with the plasma electrons directional movement towards the emitting surface of plasma. The axial gradients of the concentration and the electric potential are assumed to be the reasons for the directional movement of electrons.
