Optimization of Ion Beam Energy from a Sub-kJ Dense Plasma Focus Device Using Lee Code

A Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) device is a non-radioactive co-axial accelerator of a relatively simple operating principle that produces a high-dense (~10^20 cm^(-3)), high-temperature (~100s eV), short-lived (~100s ns) plasma along with pulsed fusion neutron yield (~14.5 MeV), soft X-rays (~100s eV), hard X-rays (~100s keV), electron beam (~1 MeV), ion beam (~Mev), and E-M waves (~GHz).

The emitted high-energy ion and electron beams from pinch plasma in a DPF have been used in different fields such as nano-material and device fabrication, thin film deposition, surface modification, thermal surface treatment, ion-assisted coating, ion implication and production of short-lived radioisotopes including plasma processing.
