Innovations for terrestrial transportation technologies, eg, cars, aircraft, and so on, have
driven historical industries so far, and a similar breakthrough is now occurring in space …

A one-dimensional Vlasov–Poisson simulation code is employed to investigate the plasma
sheath considering electron-induced secondary electron emission (SEE) and …

The considerable level of uncertainty in the measured and calculated catalytic
recombination coefficients of atomic oxygen (O) on silica (SiO2) surfaces has posed a great …

The helicon plasma source is of great significance for the magnetoplasma rocket engine
(MPRE) to be used as an effective propulsion device. In this paper, a multi-fluid, two …

The use of titanium alloys in medical applications has always been controversial due to their
corrosion properties. Ti–6Al–4V alloy is usually used due to its good mechanical properties …

Helicon plasma sources produce high-density discharges without the need of electrodes in
direct contact with the plasma, which is thought to provide them with long operational …

A compact helicon plasma source for the study of helicon plasma, especially for the study of
blue core plasma, is designed and developed with permanent magnets (PMs). The structure …

This thesis analyzes the erosion phenomena present in helicon plasma sources. These are
electrodeless radiofre quency plasma generators which are able to produce high-density …

The development of new plasma accelerators is one of the relevant issues for future high-
power electric propulsion systems. Now, electrodeless plasma reactive thrusters for …
