Sheaths with Dust Particles in the Oblique Magnetic Field
It is simulated the non-linear one-dimensional sheaths with dust particles of the given size, density and profile in an oblique magnetic field, using the modified PIC method with self-consistent dust particle charge. The Coulomb scattering and the collection of electrons and ions by dust particles are simulated by the Monte-Carlo method with 3D velocity distribution functions for electrons and ...
متن کاملExistence of subsonic plasma sheaths.
The location of the plasma sheath edge, where quasineutrality is broken, is rigorously derived by using a kinetic description of the plasma. It is shown that sheaths can exist with arbitrarily small ion velocity at the sheath edge, thus violating the Bohm criterion, V(i)=c(s) at the sheath edge. Bohm's criterion is recovered in the case of large enough ion current through the wall, and it is fo...
متن کاملICRF Specific Impurity Sources and Plasma Sheaths in Alcator C-Mod
In Alcator C-Mod, we have sought to identify ICRF specific impurity sources and estimate the lifetime of thin, low Z films in the presence of high power ICRF heating. With ICRF, the erosion rate of low-Z films is estimated to be 15-20 nm/s indicating the eroding species energy is much higher than that normally found in the SOL. Using emissive probes, plasma potential measurements confirm the pr...
متن کاملElectron presheaths: the outsized influence of positive boundaries on plasmas
Electron sheaths form near the surface of objects biased more positive than the plasma potential, such as a Langmuir probe collecting electron saturation current. Generally, the formation of electron sheaths requires that the electron-collecting area be sufficiently smaller ( m M 2.3 e times) than the ion-collecting area. They are commonly thought to be local phenomena that collect the random t...
متن کاملTreatment of Leptothrix Cells with Ultrapure Water Poses a Threat to Their Viability
The genus Leptothrix, a type of Fe/Mn-oxidizing bacteria, is characterized by its formation of an extracellular and microtubular sheath. Although almost all sheaths harvested from natural aquatic environments are hollow, a few chained bacterial cells are occasionally seen within some sheaths of young stage. We previously reported that sheaths of Leptothrix sp. strain OUMS1 cultured in artificia...
