Abstract

The paper presents a review of the current status of research into processes in hollow-cathode and arc discharges that provide the electron emission from forevacuum plasma sources. The paper studies the general operation of such electron-emitting sources, discharge initiation, achievement of the required parameters of the emitting plasma, and the efficiency improvement of the electron extraction. The goals and objectives of further research are suggested herein.
