Low-frequency electrostatic modes in partially ionized complex plasmas: a kinetic approach

Parametric Decay Instability During High Harmonic Fast Wave Heating Experiments on the TST-2 Spherical Tokamak

A degradation of heating efficiency was observed during high-harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating of spherical tokamak plasmas when parametric decay instability (PDI) occurred. Suppression of PDI is necessary to make HHFW a reliable heating and current drive tool in high β plasmas. In order to understand PDI, measurements were made using a radially movable electrostatic probe (ion saturation curre...

Heating of ions by low-frequency Alfvén waves in partially ionized plasmas

Finding Electrostatics modes in Metal Thin Films by using of Quantum Hydrodynamic Model

In this paper, by using a quantum hydrodynamic plasma model which incorporates the important quantum statistical pressure and electron diffraction force, we present the corrected plasmon dispersion relation for graphene which includes a k quantum term arising from the collective electron density wave interference effects (which  is integer and constant and k is wave vector). The longitudinal ...

Nonlinear Dust Particle Dynamics and Collective Effects in Complex Plasmas

Theoretical studies of dusty plasmas have been performed by focusing attention principally on collective phenomena and on grain motion. This thesis consists of a collection of seven published papers that explore both the collective behavior of a complex plasma system as well as the dynamics of grains in plasmas. In paper 1, a mechanism that explains the energy gain which leads to the self excit...

Electrostatics Modes in Mono-Layered Graphene

In this paper, we investigated the corrected plasmon dispersion relation for graphene in presence of a constant magnetic field which it includes a quantum term arising from the collective electron density wave interference effects. By using quantum hydrodynamic plasma model which incorporates the important quantum statistical pressure and electron diffraction force, the longitudinal plasmons ar...
