Anomalous resistivity and heating in current-driven plasma thrusters*

A theory is presented of anomalous resistivity and particle heating in current-driven plasma accelerators such as the magnetoplasmadynamic thruster ~MPDT!. An electromagnetic dielectric tensor is used for a current-carrying, collisional and finite-beta plasma and it is found that an instability akin to the generalized lower hybrid drift instability ~GLHDI! exists for electromagnetic modes ~i.e....

Laser Induced Heating of Group IV Nanowires

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are fundamental structures for nanoscale devices. The excitation of NWs with laser beams results in thermal effects that can substantially change the spectral shape of the spectroscopic data. In particular, the interpretation of the Raman spectrum is greatly influenced by excitation induced temperature. A study of the interaction of the NWs with the excitation lase...

Thermoelastic wave induced by pulsed laser heating

In this work, a generalized solution for the thermoelastic plane wave in a semi-infinite solid induced by pulsed laser heating is developed. The solution takes into account the non-Fourier effect in heat conduction and the coupling effect between temperature and strain rate, which play significant roles in ultrashort pulsed laser heating. Based on this solution, calculations are conducted to st...

Comments on " the Coronal Heating Paradox "

We point out the priority of our paper (Mahajan et al. 2001) over (Aschwanden et al. 2007) in introducing the term ”Formation and primary heating of the solar corona” working out explicit models (theory as well as simulation) for coronal structure formation and heating. On analyzing the (Aschwanden et al. 2007) scenario of coronal heating process (shifted to the chromospheric heating) we stress...
