The E*B plasma systems play an important role in the technologies like electric space propulsion and magnetized plasma sources used in plasma material interaction / surface processing. However, due to the gradient in plasma density, collisions and external fields such systems become prone to the instabilities and also dust particles are generated during the plasma […]
An E×B plasma is important for various applications including Hall thrusters and magnetic nozzle for long-lasting space propulsion. Such a cross field arrangement in inductively coupled plasma plays vital role in film deposition and etching that are the basic ingredients in semiconductor industries; though in these applications, only the electrons are magnetized which enhance the […]
