| dc.description.abstract | A beam of He+ ions was used to bombard a conductive target, allowing the target to build up a voltage. The voltage that built up on the target was measured by using a voltage divider circuit. The target was made out of niobium metal and was embedded in a Teflon rod. The beam energies were varied between 30 and 100 kV. A maximum voltage of approximately 90 kV was achieved on the target, and at this voltage, the power efficiency was approximately 85 percent. This power efficiency was greater than that measured in previous work. | en |
