Saturation of electron cyclotron maser by lower-hybrid waves

We perform a numerical study on the quasilinear relaxation of an electron cyclotron maser on the initially dominant mode. We focus thereby on a situation where the initially dominant modes are quasi-electrostatic lower hybrid (lh) waves, which have not been treated in preceding studies. To this end, we chose 0.2 ≤ ωp/ωBe < 0.5 (ωp: plasma-, ωBe: electron cyclotron frequency) and an initial loss...

Highly efficient electron vortex beams generated by nanofabricated phase holograms

Low-energy electron capture by Ne2+ ions from H(D)

Using the Oak Ridge National Laboratory ORNL ion-atom merged-beams apparatus, the absolute, total single-electron-capture cross section has been measured for collisions of Ne2+ with deuterium D at centerof-mass c.m. collision energies of 59–949 eV/u. With the high-velocity ion beams now available at the ORNL Multicharged Ion Research Facility, we have extended our previous merged-beams measurem...

Whistler Emission by Electron Beams

Experimental and theoretical investigation of whistler waves produced in the interaction of a density modulated electron beam with a magnetized plasma are presented for the conditions of active space experiments in the Earth ionosphere as well as for the case of overdense laboratory plasmas. Structures of the electromagnetic fields far and near the beam, efficiency of the beam modulation, emitt...

Low-energy electron scattering by N2O

We present elastic integral, differential, and momentum-transfer cross sections for electron collisions with N2O. We show that, with a slight modification of a method of incorporating polarization effects proposed recently by us Winstead, McKoy, and Bettega, Phys. Rev. A 72, 042721 2005 along with a flexible one-particle basis set, we can reproduce features in the experimental data that were no...
