Transparency of magnetized plasma at the cyclotron frequency.

Simulation of electromagnetically and magnetically induced transparency in a magnetized plasma

Electromagnetically induced transparency ~EIT!, a phenomenon well known in atomic systems, has a natural analogy in a classical magnetized plasma. The magnetized plasma has a resonance for right-hand polarized electromagnetic waves at the electron cyclotron frequency V0 , so that a probe wave with frequency v15V0 cannot propagate through the plasma. The plasma can be made transparent to such a ...

Exponential frequency spectrum in magnetized plasmas.

Measurements of a magnetized plasma with a controlled electron temperature gradient show the development of a broadband spectrum of density and temperature fluctuations having an exponential frequency dependence at frequencies below the ion cyclotron frequency. The origin of the exponential frequency behavior is traced to temporal pulses of Lorentzian shape. Similar exponential frequency spectr...

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...

Equilibration rate of spin temperature in a strongly magnetized pure electron plasma

The equilibration of spin temperature Tspin with kinetic temperature T is examined in a weakly correlated pure electron plasma in the strongly magnetized limit, where the distance of closest approach is large compared to the Larmor radius. In this limit, the spin precession frequency ,rZ,===g&./2 is large so the component of spin along the magnetic field is an adiabatic invariant that is broken...
