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 […]
The magnetohydrodynamics model is used to investigate the spatial damping in a Hall thruster beam plasma under the effect of thermal motion and electron beam density. Plasma dispersion equation is derived analytically using the normal mode analysis of the small oscillations. The dispersion equation is solved numerically to find out the damping modes in a […]
