Abstract
- The average equilibrium charge of submicron sized silver particles, collected during a finite time of transit through a magnetically confined plasma is reported. The fine, almost spherical particles with uniform size are produced in an evaporation chamber. The average charge of the particles was found to be about 1.4x10[sup 2] electronic charges. This result is compared with theoretical predictions. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
