Abstract
We report the results of measurements of mass-to-charge ion composition of the beam plasma generated by a forevacuum plasma-cathode electron source in a nitrogen atmosphere during electron beam interaction with the surface of a steel sample. It has been found that as the sample surface temperature increases from 540°C to 930°C, the fraction of atomic nitrogen ions in the spectrum increases by 4-10%. This increase in atomic nitrogen occurs at the backdrop of a decreasing number of molecular nitrogen monoxide ions and is associated with thermal dissociation of its molecules.
