Abstract
Parameters of the metal plasma flow generated by a source with heated liquid anode have been studied during motion in axial magnetic field. It is established that the source operating on liquid copper as the working body creates a plasma flow with an ionization of degree about 8% and concentration reaching 4 × 1016 m–3 near the source output. The directed energy and width of the energy spectrum of ion flow can be varied in broad intervals by controlling the voltage applied to electrodes.
