Phase finite time singularity: On the dissolution of a surface MHD eigenmode to the Alfvén continuum
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Phase mixing is a general mechanism of collisionless damping in magnetized plasmas. In a MHD model, the carrier of phase mixing is the Alfvén wave continuum, which is driven by the plasma inhomogeneit…
Exploring ultra-high-intensity wakefields in carbon nanotube arrays: An effective plasma-density approach
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Charged particle acceleration using solid-state nanostructures has attracted attention in recent years as a method of achieving ultra-high-gradient acceleration in the TV/m domain. More concretely, me…
Wave–particle interaction in contact with a chaotic thermostat
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. This numerical investigation explores the properties of the wave–particle interaction in a situation in which the particle is simultaneously in contact with a chaotic thermostat [G. J. Morales, Phys. …
Quantitative analysis of multipactor threshold sensitivity to secondary emission yield of microwave devices
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Multipactor occurrence essentially depends on the secondary emission property of the surface material, which is, thus, the requisite input for multipactor threshold prediction using the numerical and …
Suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering by multicolor alternating-polarization bundle light in inertial confinement fusion
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. This study proposes a novel method to mitigate stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) using multicolor alternating-polarization bundle light. The bundle light combines multiwavelength, spike trains of …
A divergence-free constrained magnetic field interpolation method for scattered data
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. An interpolation method to evaluate magnetic fields, given its unstructured and scattered magnetic data, is presented. The method is based on the reconstruction of the global magnetic field using a su…
Universal model for electron thermal-field emission from two-dimensional semimetals
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. We present the theory of out-of-plane (or vertical) electron thermal-field emission from two-dimensional (2D) semimetals. We show that the current–voltage–temperature characteristic is well captured b…
Diagnostics of plasma–liquids systems: Challenges and their mitigation
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. This article will review two popular methods of laser diagnostics in a plasma–liquid system and generally in low-temperature plasmas. These are Thomson scattering and laser-induced fluorescence. Setti…
Influence of electrodes’ geometrical properties on the neutron production rate of a discharge fusion neutron source
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Trapping ions, such as deuterium and tritium, inside a potential well to generate neutrons is a well-established technology through electric and magnetic fields via the inertial electrostatic confinem…
