Notes 2 years ago Flag 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 2 years ago Flag 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 2 years ago Flag 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 2 years ago Flag 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 2 years ago Flag 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 2 years ago Flag 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 2 years ago Flag 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 2 years ago Flag 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 ...
