Notes Diffusion across the magnetic field The diffusion coefficient in a plasma can be influenced by the presence of a magnetic field. The behaviour of charged particles, such as electrons and ions, in a magnetic field ...
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 Two stream instability The electron plasma frequency, also known as the plasma frequency, is a characteristic frequency that describes the collective motion of electrons in a plasma.In a plasma, the positively charged ...
Notes Electron cyclotron resonance Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) is a phenomenon in which electrons in a magnetic field absorb energy from an electromagnetic wave with a frequency equal to or near their cyclotron frequency. ...
Notes Ion acoustic wave Ion acoustic waves are a type of electrostatic wave that propagates through a plasma consisting of ions and electrons. They are generated due to the temperature and density fluctuations in ...
