Abstract A solution is obtained for the plasma fields generated by an external line current in a slab geometry. The form of the solution is a summation over the various plasma waves which are defined by the hot plasma equivalent dielectric tensor. The excitation level of each plasma wave is determined by a set of boundary conditions which are derived by integrating the differential form of the equivalent dielectric tensor through the plasma-vacuum boundary layer. The boundary conditions result in a convergent plasma wave expansion.

Transparency of overdense plasma with V shape density profile
In this study, we investigate the transparency of an overdense inhomogeneous plasma slab. This anomalous transmission is achieved when the conditions provided for the incident electromagnetic wave to excite coupled surface waves on the both sides of the slab. These conditions require that the homogeneous overdense plasma, or the metallic film, is placed between two dielectric layers. Here, the ...

متن کاملKinetic Theory of Electrostatic Surface Waves in a Magnetized Plasma Slab
The dispersion relation of electrostatic surface waves propagating in a magnetized plasma slab is derived from Vlasov-Poisson equations under the specular reflection boundary condition. We consider the case that the static magnetic field is parallel to the plasma-vacuum interface and the surface wave propagates obliquely to the magnetic field on the parallel plane. We find that the specular ref...

In this dissertation, I use discrete eigenfunction expansions to study three electromagnetic scattering problems in the frequency domain. Chapter 2 describes an eddy-current coil interacting with a perfectly conducting wedge of arbitrary angle. A closed-form expression for the impedance of a tangential eddy-current coil in the presence of an infinite conducting wedge of arbitrary angle is deriv...

Magnetic reconnection, which occurs in high conducting plasmas, changes the topology of magnetic field lines and converts magnetic energy into the kinetic and thermal energy of plasma and also accelerates charged particles. This phenomenon plays an important role in changing the dynamic of laboratory and space plasmas such as fusion tokamaks and sun’s corona. The electric and magnetic fields ge...
