Anisotropic electron heating in an electron cyclotron resonance thruster with magnetic nozzle
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a grid-less Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) plasma thruster with diverging magnetic nozzle, the magnitude of ambipolar field accelerating positive ions depends perpendicular energy gained by electrons. This work investigates heating electrons electromagnetic waves, taking their bouncing motion into account in confining well formed mirror force and electrostatic potential thruster. An Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code is used to simulate tube. The code's Maxwell solver based on semi-Lagrangian scheme known as Constrained Interpolation Profile (CIP) which enables larger time steps. results show that anisotropic takes place exclusively inside coaxial chamber, along Doppler-broadened zone. It also shown trapped population exists plume.

Tokamak start-up with electron-cyclotron heating
Experiments are described in which the start-up voltage in a tokamak is reduced by about a factor of two by the use of a modest amount of electron cyclotron resonance heating power for pre-ionization. The solution of the zero-dimensional start-up equations indicates that the effect is due to the high initial density which increases the rate at which the conductivity increases in the neutral-dom...
