Helicon experiments and simulations in nonuniform magnetic field configurations
Wave, antenna impedance, plasma density, and temperature anisotropy measurements are carried out for a helicon plasma source in nonuniform and uniform static magnetic fields. Strong axial density gradients associated with the nonuniform magnetic fields are observed to affect wave fields, absorption, and source efficiency. The wave field and antenna input impedance measurements are compared with...
متن کاملHelicon waves in a flaring magnetic field
Helicon wave (whistler waves bounded transversely by a magnetic field surface) propagation is investigated for a cylindrically symmetric curved (flaring) boundary using a finite-element method where the propagation region is divided into a sequence of truncated cones. In each conical segment, a local spherical coordinate system is used with the origin at the apex of the cone. A vector wave equa...
متن کاملLow-field helicon discharges
Operation of helicon discharges at magnetic fields B0 below 100 G is of interest for plasma etching and deposition reactors if high ion flux can be maintained with reduced field requirements. The theory of coupled helicon and Trivelpiece–Gould modes is summarized for uniform B0. Initial results from two experiments are reported. The first has a single 5 cm diameter tube with B0 = 0–100 G inject...
متن کامل4 Thermal entanglement of spins in a nonuniform magnetic field
We study the effect of nonuniformities in the magnetic field on the thermal entanglement of a two spin system. We show that in the ferromagnetic case a very small nonuniformity is capable to produce large values of thermal entanglement. In the antiferromagnetic case, nonuniformity only slightly raises the threshold temperature, but lowers the value of entanglement.
متن کاملInitial magnetic field configurations for 3-dimensional simulations of astrophysical jets
We solve, and provide analytical expressions, for current-free magnetic configurations in the context of initial setups of 3-dimensional simulations of astrophysical jets involving an accretion disk corona in hydrostatic balance around a central object. These configurations which thread through the accretion disk and its corona preserve the initial hydrostatic state. This work sets stage for fu...
