Fig. 9From: A plasma irradiation system optimized for space weathering of solar system bodiesPlots showing the (top) ion beam current created from the carbon dioxide molecular gas with an acceleration voltage of 10.0 keV as a function of the E x B filter electromagnetic coil current and (bottom) the mass per charge of the incident ion as a 3rd order polynomial function of the electromagnetic coil current in the same formats as Fig. 7. The polynomial function in the bottom panel was constrained by the \({\text{C}}^{+}\), \({\text{O}}^{+}\), \({\text{CO}}^{+}\), and \({\text{CO}}_{2}^{+}\) ion beam currentsBack to article page
