The Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is an electric space propulsion concept to generate denser ion and electron beams using inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion theory and helicon source. Helicon source is employed to generate the plasma and the ... En savoir plus

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the thermal behavior of a plasma micro-discharge in two different gases within a silicon micro hole (close to hundred micrometers in size). The first stage of the simulation based on the Heat Transfer module can return very promising ... En savoir plus

Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a promising approach to achieve fusion conditions that relies on the heating of a magnetized plasma by the rapid compression of a magnetic flux conserver. The compression timescale must be significantly shorter than the plasma’s thermal confinement time, ... En savoir plus

Plasma electrolytic polishing (PeP) is an electrochemical method for surface treatment. In detail PeP is a special case of anodic dissolution [1] that unlike electrochemical polishing requires higher voltage and uses environment friendly aqueous solutions of salts. When the process ...

Plasma torches are used in processing of materials as well as in the energy industry for producing plasma. In a non-transferred arc plasma torch, an electric arc can be initiated by applying a direct current (DC) between the cathode and anode, both placed inside the torch. Then, the ... En savoir plus

It has already been demonstrated that fluid models can be used to simulate two-dimensional axisymmetric inductively coupled plasma via implementation in the COMSOL (multi-physics simulation software) platform. In this study, we improved the model and simulated a large scale magnetized ... En savoir plus

1.Introduction Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) operating near their epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) point have recently been shown to exhibit strong and ultrafast intraband optical absorption processes, whose excitation results in a variation of the effective mass and electrical conductance ...

Arc plasma can heat and melt the metal material and flows of molten metal can be affected by several forces such as Lorentz force which is ruled by current, Marangoni force controlled by surface tension, buoyancy force, and arc drag force. Usually, surface tension variation is determined ... En savoir plus

In this paper, we examine changes of the electric field distributions in waveguide-based axial-type microwave plasma source (MPS) during tuning procedure. The distributions strongly depend on position of the movable short, so does the wave reflection coefficient of the incident wave. A ... En savoir plus

Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (ICPCVD) has been widely used for carbon-based nanomaterial synthesis because it provides high plasma densities and uniform plasma distribution and allows plasma to be generated in room temperature.[1] During the ICPCVD process, the ...
