Different types of discharges both with magnetized ions and electrons and with only magnetized electrons can been generated at different macroscopic parameters of the trap with axial magnetic and radial electrical fields. These discharges can form atomic fluxes of gas and conducting materials with wide energy spectra which can be used for surface treatment. The use of magnetron discharge and heavy ion discharge for surface treatment is known. The investigations of the various discharges and generated atomic fluxes were carried out at the pulse SCF-device. The main parameters of generated atomic fluxes and operating features of the device at various discharges are considered. Experimental results of surface treatment by atomic fluxes at different operating modes of the device are presented.
