Dust grain charging and levitation in a weakly collisional sheath
An experiment is described in which monodisperse dust grains are levitated within a dc sheath above a conducting plate in argon plasma. For plate bias voltages that are not too negative ~>210 electron temperatures!, the observed dust levitation heights are near to values calculated from a model combining equations for the sheath with those for grain charging. When the plate is more negatively b...
متن کاملInvestigation of Dust-Ion Acoustic Waves in a Magnetized Collisional Dusty Plasma with Kappa Distribution Function for Electrons
The propagation of arbitrary amplitude dust ion acoustic waves (DIAWs) in a magnetized collisional dusty plasma including hot electrons, with kappa velocity distribution for electrons, warm ions and dust particles has been studied. In the presence of immobile massive dust particulates, DIAWs have been investigated through the Sagdeev pseudo-potential method. It is demonstrated that the amplitud...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection in weakly collisional highly magnetized electron-ion plasmas
A reduced three-field model of two-dimensional magnetic reconnection in a weakly collisional, highly magnetized plasma consisting of isothermal electrons and cold ions is derived from a set of Braginskii-like fluid equations. The model is then used to calculate the linear growth rate of the reconnecting instability in collisionless and semicollisional parameter regimes. © 2010 American Institut...
متن کاملEffects of Ion Temperature on Collisional DC Sheath in Plasma Ion Implantation
The collision frequency should definitely be taken into account in high pressure discharges. In this work by using forth order of Rung Kuta method, and two-fluid model, temperature dependence of the characteristics of a collisional DC plasma sheath, such as electric field, electric potential, ion and electron number density, and ion velocity, has been studied. It will be shown in the constant c...
متن کاملIon energy distribution function measurements by laser-induced fluorescence in a dual radio frequency sheath
Ion dynamics are investigated in a dual frequency radio frequency sheath as a function of radius above a 30 cm diameter biased silicon wafer in an industrial inductively coupled (440 kHz, 500 W) plasma etch tool. Ion velocity distribution (IVD) function measurements in the argon plasma are taken using laser induced fluorescence. Planar sheets of laser light enter the chamber both parallel and p...
