Electrostatic particle-in-cell simulations of a Penning discharge are performed in order to investigate azimuthally asymmetric, spoke-like structures previously observed in experiments. Two-dimensional simulations show that for…
Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations in the (radial-azimuthal) plane perpendicular to the axial direction of a cylindrical ExB Penning discharge are presented. The low-pressure discharge is self-consistently supported by plasma…
A rotating plasma spoke is shown to develop in two-dimensional full-sized kinetic simulations of a Penning discharge cross-section. Electron cross-field transport within the discharge is highly anomalous and correlates strongly with the…
Long wavelength plasma non-uniformities rotating in the azimuthal direction ("rotating spokes") have been observed in a number of experiments on Hall thrusters or magnetron discharges. We use a two-dimensional (2D), axial-azimuthal…
In the ionization region above circular planar magnetrons well defined regions of high emissivity are observed, when the discharge is driven in the HiPIMS regime. Once their mode is stabilized, these structures rotate in the E x B direction…
In this work the systematic theory of discharge structure is built for highly electronegative plasma, by means of self-consistent fluid model simulation that is based on the finite element method. The highly electronegative plasma is…
A plasma rotating spoke in a crossed field discharge is studied using 2D radial-azimuthal fully kinetic Particle-In-Cell Monte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) simulations. The kinetic model reveals the whole perturbation spectrum of the gradient…
The low-frequency rotating plasma instability (spoke) in the ISCT200 thruster operating in the wall-less configuration was simulated with a 3 dimensional PIC MCC code. In the simulations an m = 1 spoke rotating with a velocity of 6.5 km/s…
Within the frame of quantum dissipation theory, we develop a new hierarchical equations of motion theory, combined with the small polaron transformation. We fully investigate the electron transport of a single attractive impurity system…
Azimuthal spoke-like modes commonly occur in ExB discharges. The natural occurrence of the spoke mode is correlated with changes of plasma parameters. Here, instead of allowing these changes to occur naturally, we report a technique for…
Low-frequency rotating spokes are obtained in a cross-field discharge plasma using two-dimensional numerical simulations. A particle-fluid hybrid model is used to model the plasma flow in a configuration similar to a Hall thruster. It has…
Tunneling of electrons through rotor-stator anthracene aldehyde molecular interfaces is studied with a combined ab initio and model approach. Molecular electronic structure calculated from first principles is utilized to model different…
The formation and evolution of coherent structures in a low-energy electron beam produced in a Malmberg-Penning trap is investigated by means of CCD diagnostics. The electrons are emitted from a thermionic cathode and their energy is…
In this work, the rotating spoke mode in the radio frequency (RF) magnetron discharge, which features the potential hump and the RF-modulated ionization, is observed and analyzed by means of the two dimensional axial-azimuthal (z-y)…
As an extension of previous theoretical study on the coherent structure resonance due to space charge effects [Chao Li and R. A. Jameson, Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 21, 024204, 2018], this paper aims to demonstrate how the beam, as a whole, is…
Semiconductor $p^+ - p^- - n - p^+ - n^{++}$ structures with large junction and contact areas are treated as 1 \times 2-dimensional active media, in which self-organized pattern formation can be expected. The local bistable behavior of the…
The spoke instability in an $E\times B$ Penning discharge is shown to be strongly affected by the boundary that is perpendicular to $B$ field lines. The instability is the strongest when bounded by dielectric walls. With a conducting wall,…
We consider the acoustic flow field of rotationally symmetric systems, like an annular combustor and the flow in a round duct, in absence of a mean azimuthal flow field. We focus on azimuthal instabilities, which manifest as either spinning…
We have investigated apparently stochastic fluctuations of magnetically-supported dc discharge in cylindrical coaxial configuration. In the system the electric field had radial direction while the magnetic field was applied axially. The…
Electron transmission through chiral molecules induced by circularly polarized light can be very different for mirror-image structures, a peculiar fact given that the electronic energy spectra of the systems are identical. We propose that…
