Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Previously, it was observed that the plasma plume appears with three regimes (dark regime next to the nozzle, bright regime in the middle, and dim regime on the right) where the regime next to the noz…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. The conduction loss of the pseudospark switch (PSS) can be reduced by connecting the magnetic switch (MS) and PSS in series to form the magnetically delayed pseudospark switch (MDPSS). In this paper, …
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Radio frequency (RF) plasmas are commonly used for surface treatments and plasma heating processes. Controlling the heat flux from the plasma to the RF electrode is a crucial issue for optimizing thes…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. The evolution of the coupled drift wave (DW) and energetic-particle-induced geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) nonlinear system is investigated using the fully nonlinear coupled DW-EGAM two-field equations…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Matter at extreme temperatures and pressures—commonly known as warm dense matter (WDM)—is ubiquitous throughout our Universe and occurs in astrophysical objects such as giant planet interiors and brow…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Sawtooth-like core electron temperature crashes have been observed in W7-X experiments with electron cyclotron current drive. We present nonlinear single-fluid magnetohydrodynamic simulations of this …
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. The spatial distribution of multiple species in a vacuum arc is an essential microscopic feature. Ionization, recombination, and species diffusion are the main factors affecting the distribution of ar…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Radio frequency (RF) breakdown in the slow-wave structures (SWSs) is a crucial bottleneck restricting relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) to pursuing higher output power and longer pulse widt…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Equation of state (EOS) data provide necessary information for accurate multiphysics modeling, which is necessary for fields such as inertial confinement fusion. Here, we suggest a neural network surr…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. The formation and propagation of pseudo-filamentary dielectric barrier discharge in atmospheric air are investigated through a 2D fluid model. The discharge development can be divided into three stage…
