  • Hollow cathode apparatus
    Patent number: 11690161
    Abstract: A hollow cathode apparatus includes an outer tubular dielectric barrier circumferentially surrounding an outer tubular surface of the cathode tube, the outer tubular dielectric barrier being composed of a barrier material which is electrically non-conductive. Also disclosed is a system comprising the hollow cathode apparatus, an anode which is spaced from the output end of the tubular cathode, and electrical circuitry connected between the cathode tube and the anode for connection to a source of electrical power for providing an electrical potential between the cathode and anode to cause an electric current to pass from the emitter into the input gas to form a plasma which is then output through the output end of the cathode tube to form a plasma plume.
    Type: Grant
