Fully Ionized Pinch Collapse
A fully ionized plasma is assumed. T o this plasma cylindrically-symmetric magnetic fields are applied, thus causing a pinch collapse. The plasma is treated in hydromagnetic approximation, including electric and thermal conductivity. Separate temperatures are assigned to the electrons and ions. Two schemes are developed for solving numerically the resulting system of six partial differential eq...
متن کاملKinetic plasma simulations for three dielectric etchers
Particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) modeling of dual frequency asymmetric capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) sources has been carried out. In particular, the following configurations have been modeled: 27/2 MHz system with an electrode separation of 2 cm, 60/2 MHz system with a gap of 4.5 cm, and 162/13.56 MHz system with a gap of 3.2 cm. It is found that both the ion flux to the el...
متن کاملVariational Formulation of Macro-Particle Algorithms for Kinetic Plasma Simulations
A variational method is used to derive a self-consistent macro-particle model for relativistic electromagnetic kinetic plasma simulations. Extending earlier work [1], the discretization of the electromagnetic Low Lagrangian is performed via a reduction of the phase-space distribution function onto a collection of finite-sized macro-particles of arbitrary shape and discretization of field quanti...
متن کاملHardness of fully dense problems
In the past decade, there has been a stream of work in designing approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-Hard problems. These include the work of Arora, Karger and Karpinski from 1995 and that of Frieze and Kannan from 1996. We address the problem of proving hardness results for (fully) dense problems, which has been neglected despite the fruitful effort put in upper bounds. In this wor...
متن کاملIon-kinetic-energy measurements and energy balance in a Z-pinch plasma at stagnation.
The ion-kinetic energy throughout K emission in a stagnating plasma was determined from the Doppler contribution to the shapes of optically thin lines. X-ray spectroscopy with a remarkably high spectral resolution, together with simultaneous imaging along the pinch, was employed. Over the emission period, a drop of the ion-kinetic energy down to the electron thermal energy was seen. Axially res...
