A novel electron heating mechanism based on periodically structured vortex fields induced in a plane was first proposed in 2014 [U. Czarnetzki and Kh. Tarnev, Physics of Plasmas 21, 123508 (2014)]. This theoretical concept has now been…
Developing large-area inductively coupled plasma sources requires deviation from the standard coil concepts and the development of advanced antenna designs. First steps in this direction employ periodic array structures. A recent example is…
We perform extensive 2D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) electromagnetic simulations of low pressure Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) discharges with various coil current and driving frequencies. Our simulations show that in low-frequency cases,…
Plasma jets belong to the category remote plasma. This means that the discharge conditions and the chemical effect on samples can be tuned separately, this being a big advantage compared to standard low-pressure reactors. The inductive…
The discharge structure of inductively coupled plasma is studied via fluid simulation and analytic theory collaboration. At low pressure, the discharge is stratified by the double layer, which is modelled as dipole moment. The parabolic…
We report on the first detailed analysis of large three dimensional (3D) complex plasma structures in experiments performed in pure rf and combined rf+dc discharge modes. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is generated by an rf coil wrapped…
In this paper, the discharge structure of an Ar/SF6 inductively coupled plasma (ICP) at the low pressure, 10 mTorr, is investigated by the fluid simulation at the quasi-cold ions approximation, i.e., room temperature. The structure is found…
A particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation study is performed to investigate the discharge asymmetry, higher harmonic generations and electron heating mechanism in a low pressure very high frequency capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) excited by a…
We report the existence of an enhanced operating regime for a high-frequency, low-pressure capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) discharge in the presence of a weak magnetic field applied parallel to the electrodes. Our PIC-MCC simulations show…
The collision of two expanding plasma clouds is investigated, emphasizing instabilities and electron energization in the plasma mixing layer. This work is directly relevant to laboratory experiments with explosively-created laser or z-pinch…
We consider a plasma that is created by a high voltage difference, which is known as a Townsend gas discharge. The plasma is confined to the region between two concentric spheres, one of which is a cathode and the other an anode.…
Intermittency of heating in weakly collisional plasma turbulence is an active subject of research, with significant potential impact on understanding of the solar wind, solar corona and astrophysical plasmas. Recent studies suggest a role…
The MMWICP (Miniature MicroWave ICP) is a new plasma source using the induction principle. Recently Klute et al. presented a mathematical model for the electromagnetic fields and power balance of the new device. In this work the…
During the formation of large-scale structures in the universe, weak internal shocks are induced within the hot ICM, while strong accretion shocks arise in the WHIM within filaments, and the warm-cold gas in voids surrounding galaxy…
The present paper is a concluding part of the series [N.B. Volkov and A.M. Iskoldsky: 1; 2; [1], [2]]. Here on the basis of the results of the above papers the experiments on the electric explosion in conductors have been discussed and the…
Control over plasma asymmetry in a low-pressure capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) discharges is vital for many plasma processing applications. In this article, using the particle-in-cell simulation technique, we investigated the asymmetry…
Parameters of a high frequency capacitive discharge in argon in axially symmetric chambers of different geometries are studied in experiments and by means of two-dimensional kinetic modeling by the Particle-in-Cell method. It is…
In this work, the one-dimensional implicit particle-in-cell/Monte-Carlo collision code (PIC/MCC) is used to study the discharge of a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) under extremely low pressure driven by high-frequency rf power in pure…
A theory of electron injection into diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) for the generation of cosmic-ray electrons at collisionless shocks is presented. We consider a recently proposed particle acceleration mechanism called stochastic shock…
Thermal radiation is an abundant form of incoherent light. Generating coherent infrared light through incandescence promises a cheap alternative to the costly and epitaxially complex quantum cascade laser, however it remains a fundamental…
