Using fully electromagnetic particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo simulations, the electron heating due to interaction with a moving sheath is demonstrated to dominate in surface wave-driven discharges at microwave frequencies and relatively low…
In this study, the physics of sheath formation in a collisional two-electron temperature plasma in the presence of an oblique external magnetic field has been investigated. At first, a comparative study among the fluid electron model,…
When a plasma sheath forms next to a dielectric wall, material properties determine electron absorption and reflection from the surface, impacting the sheath formation and structure. The low energy regime of this interaction is often not…
Double layers (DLs) have been observed in a plasma reactor composed of a source chamber attached to a larger expanding chamber. Positive ion beams generated across the DL were characterized in the low plasma potential region using retarding…
In the atmospheric pressure anodic carbon arc, ablation of the anode serves as a feedstock of carbon for production of nanomaterials. It is known that the ablation of the graphite anode in this arc can have two distinctive modes with low…
An elongated plasma column has been successfully generated and sustained in a linear plasma device using a hollow cathode discharge in the presence of an axisymmetric magnetic field. The confinement of cold energetic electrons produced near…
The most fundamental response of an ionized gas to a macroscopic object is the formation of the plasma sheath. It is an electron depleted space charge region, adjacent to the object, which screens the object's negative charge arising from…
This paper proposes a model that expands Godyak's collisional sheath model to the case of hot electrodes (anode or cathode) with thermionic electron emission. In the model, the electrodes are assumed to be made from refractory metals and,…
The dynamics of an argon plasma in the gap of a thermionic diode is investigated using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The time-averaged diode current, as a function of the relative electrical potential between the electrodes, is…
We studied the macro evolution of the micro atmospheric glow discharge generated between a micro argon jet into ambient air and static water. The micro discharge behaves similarly to a complex ecosystem. Non-linear behaviors are found for…
The present letter extends the prior findings on self-induced heating of solid state field emission devices. It was found that a vacuum diode (base pressure $\sim10^{-9}$ Torr), that makes use of graphite-rich polycrystalline diamond as…
The specific form of one electrode capacitive discharge was studied in long tubes filled with high purity neon or argon at pressure 1-4 Torr. The main feature of the discharge is the low rate (less than 10 kHz) of the voltage pulses of…
The additional pumping of energy into arc plasma flow by the self-consistently formed radially directed beam of high-energy electrons for evaporation of micro-droplets is considered. The radial beam appears near the inner cylindrical…
The dynamics of electric field generation and radial acceleration of ions by a laser pulse of relativistic intensity propagating in an underdense plasma has been investigated using an one-dimensional electrostatic, ponderomotive model…
Electron beam (e-beam) generated plasmas with applied crossed electric and magnetic $\left(\mathbf{E} \times \mathbf{B}\right)$ fields are promising for low damage processing of materials with applications to microelectronics and quantum…
The most fundamental response of a solid to a plasma and vice versa is electric. An electric double layer forms with a solid-bound electron-rich region-the wall charge-and a plasma-bound electron-depleted region-the plasma sheath. But it is…
In order to investigate the dependence of conditioning and field-holding on temperature, three pairs of copper electrodes underwent high voltage conditioning with direct current (DC) pulses while kept at a single temperature, unique for…
We present a study on the dependence of electric breakdown discharge properties on electrode geometry and the breakdown field in liquid argon near its boiling point. The measurements were performed with a spherical cathode and a planar…
A novel kind of electron beam sustained discharge is presented in which a 12keV electron beam is combined with a 2.45GHz microwave power to excite argon gas at atmospheric pressure in a continuous mode of operation. Optical emission…
In magnetized capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges operated at low pressure the influence of the magnetic flux density on discharge properties has been studied recently both by experimental investigations and in simulations. It…
