Non-linear collisionless plasma wakes of small particles

The wake behind a spherical particle smaller than the Debye length (λDe) in flowing plasma is calculated using a particle-in-cell code. The results with different magnitudes of charge reveal substantial non-linear effects down to values that for a floating particle would correspond to a particle radius approximately 10λDe. The peak potential in the oscillatory wake structure is strongly suppres...

Charging of Dust Particles in Collisionless Plasma Sheath with Non-maxwellian Electron Energy Distribution Function

The key parameter driving behavior of dust particles in plasma is their electric charge [1]. Present-day theories as well as experiments are not fully successful in determining its value [2]. Moreover, the theoretical uncertainties are increased in the plasma sheath – a think plasma layer at a wall or electrode. The standard models of dust charging in the plasma sheath usually suppose Maxwellia...

Nonlinear Acceleration Mechanism of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection

A mechanism for fast magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma is studied for understanding sawtooth collapse in tokamak discharges. Nonlinear growth of the tearing mode driven by electron inertia is analytically estimated by invoking the energy principle for the first time. Decrease of potential energy in the nonlinear regime (where the island width exceeds the electron skin depth) is foun...
