Helicon waves are waves in low-temperature, partially ionized plasmas in a dc magnetic
field (B-field). The study of helicons involves both ion–neutral collisions and Larmor orbits …

Helicon plasma sources attract keen interest worldwide. These types of plasma sources can
generate a uniform, high-density (electron density up to 1020 m− 3) and low-temperature …

The nonlinear nature of the rf absorption in a helicon-produced plasma was recently
evidenced by the observation that the helicon wave damping as well as the level of short …

Single density peak has been commonly observed in low magnetic field (< 100 G) helicon
discharges. In this paper, we report the observations of multiple density peaks in low …

A low-frequency ion instability, with frequency fI between the ion gyrofrequency and the
lower hybrid frequency fc, i< fI≪ fLH, is detected in an argon plasma expanding in a …

Linear and nonlinear wave phenomena and their influence on the discharge performance
are considered in the helicon plasma (HP) and magnetized inductively coupled plasma …

Excitation of electromagnetic waves by spatially bounded given electric currents in the
presence of an axially magnetized cylindrical plasma column surrounded by free space is …

The magnetic nozzle (MN) is a converging-diverging external magnetostatic field applied
around a confined plasma discharge. 1, 2 As the plasma expands, a cross-field electron …

Efficient plasma production by a helicon wave in a nonuniform magnetic field near the
antenna center is being reported here. Experiments are carried out with different …

Fast camera imaging is used to study ion acoustic waves propagating azimuthally in a
magnetized plasma column. The high-speed image sequences are analyzed using proper …
