Hollow Cathodes 313 There are basically three types of oscillations that occur in hollow cathode discharges [46,70]. First, there are plasma discharge oscillations in the frequency range of 50 to over 1000kHz. These are usually incoherent oscillations in the ion acoustic frequency range with amplitudes that vary continuously from fractions of a volt on the electrodes in the spot mode to tens of volts on the electrodes into the plume mode. If sufficiently large, these ion acoustic oscillations can trigger regulation problems in the power supply, leading to large discharge voltage oscillations on power-supply-regulation times of 100 to 1000 Hz. This behavior is shown in Fig. 6-55. As the discharge current increases, the ionization percentage in the cathode plume becomes significant and can lead to ionization instabilities or so-called predator–prey oscillations. In this case, the plasma discharge burns out a significant fraction of the neutral gas, and the discharge collapses on the time frame of neutral flow into the plume region. The frequency range of these instabilities is in the 50- to 250-kHz range for xenon, depending on the physical scale lengths and size of the discharge components. Ionization instabilities are easily observed in the plasma density, which is shown by the probe’s ion saturation current oscillations in Fig. 6-56 and compared to the normally observed oscillations from the incoherent ion acoustic-type modes. Ionization instabilities usually can be inhibited by proper selection of the gas flow and/or magnitude of any applied axial magnetic field in the cathode plume region [46], which modifies the local ion generation rate.
