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 […]
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 […]
