Abstract

An all-permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source is tuned to create a variety of intense molecular ion beams for basic research. Based on simultaneous injection of several gases with spectroscopic high purity or enriched isotope content (e.g., H₂, D₂, N₂, O₂ or CO) and low power microwave heating, the ECR ion source produces diatomic molecular ion beams of H₂⁺, D ₂⁺, HD⁺, HO⁺, DO⁺, NH⁺, ND⁺ and more complex polyatomic molecular ions such as H₃⁺, D₃⁺, HD₂ ⁺, H₂O⁺, D₂O⁺, H ₃O⁺, D₃O⁺, and NH_n ⁺, ND_n⁺ with n=2,3,4 and possibly higher. Molecular ion beams have been produced with very high current intensities compared to other molecular beam sources. The recorded molecular ion beam spectra are discussed.
