The stochastic threshold for the heating of ions in a magnetized plasma with two electrostatic waves is experimentally characterized. Two obliquely propagating electrostatic modes are launched in a magnetized plasma with frequencies that differ by the ion cyclotron frequency. The values of the wave amplitudes where a rapid increase in the local ion temperature occurs is then parametrically inve...

An experimental study of ion heating by beating electrostatic ion cyclotron (EIC) waves in a magnetized, rf-sustained plasma has been performed in order to explore an ion acceleration mechanism that was predicted theoretically. Ion heating up to 35% was observed in the presence of electrostatic waves excited by a twoplate antenna. It was found that ion-neutral collisions significantly alter dis...

The main features of the process reflecting product surface heating during low-temperature plasma treatment have been established, and necessity managing this has substantiated. A control method developed that makes it possible to determine moment termination effect on using a logistic curve as data model temperature recorded outside zone thermal (lagged temperature).
