Glow discharge plasma switch controlled by a small magnetic field
نویسنده
چکیده
A cold plasma switch scheme with opening and closing capabilities is reported. An externally applied magnetic field causes a low pressure hollow cathode discharge to transition from a low impedance mode sustained by oscillating beam electrons into a virtually collisionless high impedance mode. The impedance of a 10 A discharge was demonstrated to increase by 20 with the application of a field of 0.018 T.

Wall Conditioning by ECRH and GDC at the Wendelstein 7-X Stellarator
Wall conditioning in magnetic controlled fusion devices is a common tool to improve plasma performance and discharge reproducibility [1]. It will be relied upon in the next W7-X operation phases (OP1.2 in 2017-2018 and OP2 starting in 2020) to control the surface state of the plasmafacing components (PFC) with the eventual aim of providing access to continuous discharge operation [2]. The super...
متن کاملDouble Langmuir probe measurement of plasma parameters in a dc glow discharge
In this paper, plasma main characteristics such as electron mean temperature, electron number density, and oscillation frequency have been measured experimentally using the double Langmuir probe diagnostic system. In our experiment, the plasma was generated by applying the low pressure dc glow discharge in several common gases. The experimental results indicated the highest plasma density and o...
متن کاملDevelopment of wall conditioning and tritium removal techniques in TEXTOR for ITER and future fusion devices
Wall conditioning and tritium removal are discussed for ITER for standard glow discharge (GDC) which can operate only without toroidal magnetic field and for RF conditioning plasmas (ion cyclotron wall conditioning, ICWC) which can operate with the magnetic field on. ICWC plasmas have been produced in a wide range of parameters in TEXTOR using the conventional ICRF antennas and analyzed with re...
متن کاملEmergence of the stochastic resonance in glow discharge plasma
Stochastic resonance (SR) has been studied experimentally in a glow discharge plasma. For the SR phenomena, it is observed that a superimposed subthreshold periodic signal can be recovered via stochastic modulations of the discharge voltage. In the present experiments, induction of SR is quantified using the absolute mean difference (AMD). Comparison of the AMD techniques with respect to cross-...
