A piezoelectric transformer plasma source (PTPS) has been developed as a plasma ion source for D(d,n)\(^{3}\) He neutron production. This neutron production system is compact, radioisotope free, and can be easily turned ON and OFF. The PTPS consists of a lithium niobate piezoelectric disk in a differentially pumped chamber with controlled gas flow from an external source. The PTPS was previously...
A piezoelectric transformer plasma source (PTPS) is being developed as a plasma ion source for D(d, n)3 He neutron production. The PTPS consists of a lithium niobate piezoelectric disc in a differentially pumped chamber with controlled gas flow from an external source. The PTPS was previously characterized using a range of gas flows, extraction voltages, and aperture geometries. This ion source has...
A lithium niobate piezoelectric transformer was used to generate neutrons using a deuterium-deuterium (D-D) nuclear reaction. Deuterium gas was flowed into a vacuum chamber at pressures between 10−4 and 10−3 Torr. The deuterium gas was ionized and electric fields generated by the transformer accelerated deuterons into a grounded, deuterium impregnated target. A suite of diagnostics, including a bremsstrahlung...
