Abstract
Samples of Mylar and Teflon film were exposed to various combinations of a monoenergetic 20 keV electron flux and a low energy lithium ion flux in ion-to-electron flux ratios of 0, 5%, 10% and 20%. The samples discharge rates and strengths were found to diminish as the ion proportion increased, but the discharge durations were unaffected.
