Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is a common method for characterizing radio
frequency (RF) discharge plasmas. Particulary, helicon plasma is featured by its high …

In this paper, multiple wave modes and transitions of argon helicon plasma excited by a half
right-helical antenna in a system without any reflection endplate are investigated …

The pulsed linear plasma device Prototype Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (Proto-
MPEX) uses a radio frequency (RF) helicon antenna with an aluminum nitride ceramic …

The behaviour of nitrogen plasma mixed with varying proportions of argon (10%–80%) is
investigated under different RF discharge conditions. It is observed that at a relatively low RF …

In this work, we investigated the discharge characteristics and heating mechanisms of argon
helicon plasma in different wave coupled modes with and without blue core. Spatially …

The effect of neutral pressure on the blue core in Ar helicon plasma under an
inhomogeneous magnetic field was investigated in this work. The neutral pressure was set …

The auxiliary heating of electrons and ions in linear plasma devices (LPDs) is necessary to
achieve the boundary plasma relevant environment of tokamaks, to investigate the boundary …

In this paper, the effect of mixing of argon and oxygen gas on the mode transition and
negative ion production in the helicon discharge is investigated. In the source chamber of …

This paper reports the study of the effects of an externally applied magnetic field (0–300 G),
in the mode transition as well as in the radial and axial variation of different plasma …

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 …
