This paper describes the use of Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) to measure electron
densities and temperatures in non-equilibrium plasmas. The ways to interpret relative line …

Harmonic generation has always been of fundamental interest in the study of the nonlinear
nature of any physical system. In the present study, particle-in-cell simulations have been …

The lowered costs for operational deployment in space, as well as the ability to implement
sophisticated peripherals with integrated systems on-board satellites in orbit has catalysed …

The performance of a plasma thruster is assessed for efficient propulsion by analyzing the
unique downstream characteristics of plasma produced by a Compact ECR Plasma Source …

The design and characterization of a multi-dipolar microwave electron cyclotron resonance
(ECR) hydrogen plasma reactor are presented. In this configuration, 16 ECR sources are …

Argon and hydrogen plasmas were produced by a Compact ECR Plasma Source (CEPS)
attached coaxially to a large chamber. This paper presents characterization results of the …

Plasma thrusters are required for deep space applications for reducing the fuel payload.
This paper evaluates the capability of a compact ECR plasma source (CEPS) as a …

Hydrogen plasma characterization was carried out in a large volume (dia∼ 1.0 m, h∼ 1.0
m) plasma chamber to evaluate the efficacy of production of uniform, large-area H-beam for …

This work presents a simple design of surface wave plasma (SWP) source based on
cylindrical cavity excited by∼ 850 MHz ultra high frequency (UHF) wave. The cavity …

Experimental results of a direct current enhanced inductively coupled plasma (DCE-ICP)
source which consists of a typical cylindrical ICP source and a plate-to-grid DC electrode are …
