Experimental Investigation of the CFHT-27 Cusped-Field Hall Thruster Performance

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2023
Cusped-field Hall thrusters (CFHT) have significant potential for use in many space missions due to their simplicity, long life and high efficiency. CFHT-27, designed and developed at the Bogazici University Space Technologies Laboratory (BUSTLab), is a

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Predicting Hall Thruster Operational Lifetime [PDF]

open access: yes40th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 2004
†‡ A simple analytic model predicted Hall thruster channel erosion based on thruster geometry, operating conditions, and magnetic field configuration. This model relied on a one-dimensional representation of the plasma with a fixed ionization fraction and variable ion energies based on the magnetic field distribution.

Comparisons in Performance of Electromagnet and Permanent-Magnet Cylindrical Hall-Effect Thrusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Three different low-power cylindrical Hall thrusters, which more readily lend themselves to miniaturization and low-power operation than a conventional (annular) Hall thruster, are compared to evaluate the propulsive performance of each.

Boltzmann expansion in a radiofrequency conical helicon thruster operating in xenon and argon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A low pressure (~ 0.5 mTorr in xenon and ~ 1 mTorr in argon) Boltzmann expansion is experimentally observed on axis within a magnetized (60 to 180 G) radiofrequency (13.56 MHz) conical helicon thruster for input powers up to 900 W using plasma ...

Intercalation‐Induced Phase Transitions in Ferroelectric α‐In2Se3

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using the electrolyte gating technique, the van der Waals ferroelectric semiconductor α‐In2Se3 undergoes a series of transitions from a ferroelectric semiconductor to a dirty metal and finally to a metal, accompanied by a structural transformation. Concurrently, the ferroelectric hysteresis window progressively narrows and eventually disappears with ...
