Abstract

The temporal evolution of the radial profile of lithium-like oxygen (OVI or O5+) 3d-4f, 52.0 nm emission from 80 ns rise time, 6–16 kA peak current, pulsed capillary discharges in 1 mm diam, 1 cm long polyacetal capillaries, has been studied. Evidence was seen for a central ‘‘flattening’’ in this emission. Extreme-ultraviolet, time-integrated, pinhole transmission grating spectra were taken of discharges at 16 and 23 kA peak currents in 0.5 mm diam, 1 cm long capillaries. Spectra obtained at the higher peak current (23 kA) showed evidence of helium-like (CV or C4+) and/or hydrogen-like carbon (CV or C5+) resonance line emission (4.0 and 3.4 nm wavelength) filling the capillary diameter.
