    摘要: A method of extracting and accelerating ions is provided. The method includes providing a ion source. The ion source includes a chamber. The ion source further includes a first hollow cathode having a first hollow cathode cavity and a first plasma exit orifice and a second hollow cathode having a second hollow cathode cavity and a second plasma exit orifice, the first and second hollow cathodes being disposed adjacently in the chamber. The ion source further includes a first ion accelerator between and in communication with the first plasma exit orifice and the chamber. The first ion accelerator forms a first ion acceleration cavity. The ion source further includes a second ion accelerator between and in communication with the second plasma orifice and the chamber. The second ion accelerator forms a second ion acceleration cavity. The method further includes generating a plasma using the first hollow cathode and the second hollow cathode. The first hollow cathode and the second hollow cathode are configured to alternatively function as electrode and counter-electrode. The method further includes extracting and accelerating ions. Each of the first ion acceleration cavity and the second ion acceleration cavity are sufficient to enable the extraction and acceleration of ions.

    摘要: The invention relates to a glass sheet having high transmission of infrared (IR) radiation. More specifically, the invention relates to a glass sheet having a composition which comprises, in a content expressed as percentages by total weight of glass: SiO2 55-85%; Al2O3 0-30%; B2O3 0-20%; Na2O 0-25%; CaO 0-20%; MgO 0-15%; K2O 0-20%; BaO 0-20%; Total iron (expressed in the form of Fe2O3) 0.002-0.06%, a chromium content (expressed in the form of Cr2O3) ranging from 0.0015% to 1% and a cobalt content (expressed in the form of Co) ranging from 0.0001% to 1%. By virtue of its high transmission of IR radiation, the glass sheet according to the invention can advantageously be used in a device using a technology requiring very good transmission of IR radiation, whether through the main faces or starting from their sheared edge (for example, a screen or panel or pad, the glass sheet defining a touch surface). The invention thus also relates to the use of such a glass sheet in a device using infrared radiation propagating essentially inside said sheet.
