        Abstract
        The hollow cathode is an effective source of dense, low energy plasma. Hollow cathodes find use in ion beam sources for laboratory and space applications. They can also be used independently for satellite charge control, and ion beam neutralization. A heaterless hoi -low cathode design was tested with argon gas used as a propellant. This thesis work inve -stigated the device properties, that is, the emission currents as a function of discharge current, propellant flow rate and other physical parameters. Starting behavior was a main point of the investigation. The results of these experiments were compared with studies of the conventional hollow cathode.

          Characterization of a shape memory alloy interference coupling 

          Crane, William M.; Newman, James H.; Romano, Marcello (2014);
          A versatile and heretofore unutilized coupling is obtained by press-fitting a hollow nickel titanium shape memory alloy (SMA) shaft into a steel hub. This produces an SMA interference coupling that is distinct from other ...

          Optical tomography of the ZaP flow Z-pinch plasma 

          Madson, Adam M. (2005);
          The ZaP Flow Z-Pinch Experiment forms a Z-pinch with an embedded axial flow that exhibits stability for 500 - 2000 times the instabililty growth time for a static Z-pinch. Two linear photodiode arrays placed orthogonal to ...
