本文提出了一个描述氩离子和氙离子推力器中双电荷离子密度的模型。双电荷离子被证明是产生在显着的数字从中性和单电离状态。双单荷电离子密度比计算使用该模型进行了比较，在15厘米的多极推进器，使用这两种推进剂测量的实验值。理论和实验之间的协议被证明是好的。
A model describing the doubly charged ion densities in argon and xenon ion thrusters is presented. Doubly charged ions are shown to be produced in significant numbers from both the neutral and singly ionized states. Doubly-to-singly charged ion density ratios calculated using this model are compared to experimental values of this ratio measured in the 15-cm multipole thruster, using both propellants. Agreement between theory and experiment is shown to be good.
