Abstract

The plasma focus device is well known as a copious source of X‐ray, neutrons, ion and electron beams. In this work, the characteristics of energetic ion beam emission in a 3 kJ Mather‐type plasma focus is studied. The plasma focus system is operated at low pressure with argon as the working gas. The objective of the project is to obtain the argon ion beam and the plasma jet. The ion beam and plasma jet are used for material processing. In order to investigate the effect of the ion beam and plasma jet, crystalline silicon substrates are placed above the anode. Samples obtained after irradiation with the plasma focus discharge are analyzed by using the Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX).
