Role of dust and ionization on gradient driven instability in a cross-field plasma

Presence of dust in cross-field plasma systems such as Hall thrusters or in plasma processing units changes the whole physical phenomenon. Owing to the density gradient, pressure gradient and spatial variation of the magnetic field, the plasma in these devices is often found to be unstable and hence, instability evolves in these systems. Considering dust […]
