Analytical Solution of the O-X Mode Conversion Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
The excitation of a slow extraordinary wave in a overdense plasma from an ordinary wave impinging on the critical layer in the plane spanned by the density gradient and magnetic field is solved analytically by formulating the problem in terms of a parabolic cylinder equation. A formula for the angular dependence of the transmission coefficient is derived.

Magnetically confined plasma can be heated with high power microwave sources. In spherical torus the electron plasma frequency exeeds the electron cyclotron frequency (EC) and, as a consequence, electromagnetic waves at fundamental and low harmonic EC cannot propagate within the plasma. In contrast, electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) readily propagate in spherical torus plasma and are absorbed str...

The corrosion protection abilities of modified copper in 2-[((Z)-1-{6- [(2-sulfanylphenyl)ethanimidoyl]-2-pyridyl}ethylidene) amino]-1- benzenthiol solution containing TiO2 nanoparticles were evaluated by Tafel polarization and impedance spectroscopy in 3.5% sodium chloride solution. The samples were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron mi...
متن کاملInvestigation of corrosion protection properties of TiO2-CdO nanocomposite coating prepared by sol-gel method on copper
the Sol–gel nanocomposite coatings have been investigated for copper metal as a potential replacement for the hazardous and banned hexavalent chromate conversion coatings. TiO2–CdO nanocomposite thin films were deposited on copper using the sol–gel method. The sol-gel coatings were prepared using a sol obtained by the hydrolysis and condensation of tetra-o-butyl titanate. They were doped with c...
متن کاملOn O-X mode conversion in a cold magnetized 2D inhomogeneous plasma in the electron cyclotron frequency range
In this paper a reduced set of the partial differential wave equations valid in the conversion layer close to O-mode cutoff surface and accounting for the magnetic field 2D inhomogeneity with no restriction to an angle between the toroidal direction and the magnetic field direction is derived. An integral representation of a solution to the derived set of equation is given. For the particular c...
متن کاملInhomogeneous cyclotron emission source for the five branch mode conversion problem
Recent results on determining the spatial profile of the emission source distribution from a cyclotron mode conversion layer are extended to the five branch wave coupling case which occurs when the X-mode is coupled to the O-mode. A variational problem for an inhomogeneous source is formulated and solved. Computations demonstrate that the basic features, including a highly localized emitter, ar...
