摘要: This paper presents a newly developed lithium plasma emitter, which can provide quiescent and low-temperature collisionless conditions for magnetized experiments. emitter generates thermal emissions of ions electrons to produce plasma. Lithium type beta-eucryptite lanthanum-hexaboride (LaB6) powders were mixed directly heated with tungsten heater synthesize ion electron emissions. As result, diameter ∼15 cm was obtained in magnetic mirror configuration. The typical range density 1012–1013 m−3 that temperature 0.1–0.8 eV the operation about 1500 K. amplitude fluctuations lower than 1%.
