Beam of silver, copper and recently platinum were produced with the radiofrequency oven technique. The ECRIS (Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source) can be conveniently considered as a charge breeder for any injection device; this approach allows to compare the injection of metals from ovens with other techniques discussed in the literature, like the injection from mevva (Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc) sources or the injection of single charged RIB (radioactive ion beams) or the simple injection of heavy gas. Extensive experiments extracting beams of copper (charge up 13+) or silver (charge up to 19+) or xenon (charge up 20+) with the same ECRIS condition are described, and advantage of rf oven over gas injection are discussed; in particular the oven crucible can be easily voltage biased up to -400 V, to modify ECRIS plasma shape. Heating the tantalum crucibles over 2300 K (average temperature) requires careful axial alignment to avoid the formation of hot spots; preliminary evidence of this effect and its numerical modeling are also described.

Filamentation and other space charge effects (both transverse and longitudinal) of intense electron beams, found for example in rf photoinjectors (beam energy 1 MeV, current 100 A), are easily studied in small voltage traps and drift channels (0.01-10 kV), keeping the same perveance order. A suitable Malmberg-Penning trap, named ELTRAP, installed and operated at the University of Milan, is briefly described; trap length ranges from 10 cm to 1 m; an uniform magnetic field confines electron radially. Several experimental regimes were investigated with the internal CW planar electron source: plasma, beam-plasma, beam, depending on the injection/extraction method chosen. Evolution of electron vortices and virtual cathode formation is documented; analogy with meteorologic and astrophysical plasma is discussed. Upgrading with an external laser pulsed electron source is in course. Larger planar sources are also under construction.
