Isotope separation in a magnetized sheet plasma.

Selective Heating of Helium Ion in Magnetized Sheet Plasma

Ion cyclotron resonance heating in the magnetized sheet plasma is studied experimentally in a linear plasma device, TPD-SheetIV. We have demonstrated the ICRH of the helium or helium/hydrogen mixture sheet plasma by the RF electrodes of two parallel plates, sandwiching the sheet plasma. Measurements of the ion temperature in the plasma were carried out by a Faraday cup. In addition, the ion den...

Ponderomotive effects in a magnetized plasma

2014 Results concerning the ponderomotive effects in a collisionless magnetized plasma are presented. The main result concerns the fundamental difference between a three-dimensional plasma, which follows a Boltzmann equilibrium, and a two-dimensional plasma, where the high frequency field and the plasma inhomogeneities are perpendicular to the background magnetic field, and where the nonlinear ...

Harris sheet solution for magnetized quantum plasmas

We construct an infinite family of one-dimensional equilibrium solutions for purely magnetized quantum plasmas described by the quantum hydrodynamic model. The equilibria depends on the solution of a third-order ordinary differential equation, which is written in terms of two free functions. One of these free functions is associated to the magnetic field configuration, while the other is specif...
