CLASSIFICATION REGULATION FOR STRUCTURE SUPPLY FOR PUBLISHED VACUUM BOOKS

摘要

The invention is applicable to pulse-operated vacuum arcs, as used for instance as plasma sources in the production of coatings and for the mass-spectroscopic analysis of electrically conducting materials. The invention calls for a diode (8) to be connected in parallel with the discharge gap so that the cathode of the diode is connected to the arc anode (4) and the anode of the diode to the arc cathode (5).
