Closed-drift ion sources of the magnetic-layer and anode-layer types are shown and described, with both one-stage and two stage versions of the latter included. Specific improvements include the use of a magnetically permeable insert in the closed drift region together with an effectively single source of magnetic field to facilitate the generation of a well-defined and localized magnetic field while, at the same time, permitting the placement of that magnetic field source at a location well removed from the hot discharge region. Such a configuration is also well suited to the use of a permanent magnet as the magnetic field source. In one embodiment a baffle arrangement serves to distribute the ionizable gas uniformly circumferentially and decrease its pressure below the Paschen-law minimum before exposure to the anode potential.
