Acknowledged as the founding father of and world renowned expert on electron cyclotron resonance sources Richard Geller has produced a unique book devoted to the physics and technicalities of electron cyclotron resonance sources. Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources and ECR Plasmas provides a primer on electron cyclotron phenomena in ion sources as well as being a reference to the field of ion source developments. Coverage includes elements of plasma physics, specific electron cyclotron resonance physics, and the relevant technology directed at both scientists and engineers.Contents. Part 1: General Aspects of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Plasmas. Part 2: Specific Aspects of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources. Part 3: Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources for Single or Low Charged Ions. Part 4: Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources for Multiply Charged Ions. Conclusions. Appendices. Index.
