Notes Einstein's relation between the mobility and diffusion coefficient in weakly ionized gas In many experiments, a plasma maintained in a steady steady state equation isIn steady state, we set ∂n/∂t = 0In many weakly ionized gases, ionization is produced by ...
Notes Tokamak In a tokamak, the plasma is the central component of the device. It is a state of matter consisting of highly ionized gas composed of positively charged ions and negatively ...
Notes Plasma oscillations and Landau damping Mathematically, Landau damping is described by the Vlasov equation, which is a kinetic equation that describes the evolution of the distribution function of particles in phase space. The Vlasov …
Notes Coulomb collision in fully ionized plasma In a fully ionized plasma, Coulomb collisions play a significant role in determining the behaviour and dynamics of charged particles. Coulomb collisions are interactions between charged particles due …
Notes Diffusion in a slab Diffusion in a slab refers to the process of the net movement of particles or molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration within a ...
Notes Plasma Sheath The plasma is kept inside a vacuum chamber that is a finite size in all practical plasma systems. Think about a 1-D model where the plasma has no magnetic field ...
Notes Equation of motion for a damped oscillator of mass with resonant frequency Equation of motion for damped oscillator when an electron in an atom is acted by electric field.where ωo is the resonant frequency, m represents the mass of the ...
Notes Debye Model of Specific heat capacity According to the Einstein model, at low temperatures, the heat capacity falls off exponentially, or e-hw/KBT. However, the experimental curve demonstrates that specific heat drops at low temperatures …
