Abstract

We studied the behavior of a laser-photoionized plasma in atomic-vapor laser isotope separation under an external electric field with a two-dimensional one-fluid model, in which electrons are assumed to be in thermal equilibrium. Sheath-formation and ion-extraction processes are investigated in both a conventional parallel-electrode system and an M-type electrode system consisting of two parallel cathodes and one anode above them. The process of ion extraction in the M-type electrode was made clear and it is shown that ions are collected twice as fast as in the parallel-electrode system.
