Nanophotonics for plasma heating

Nature Photonics, 2013
Vertically aligned nanowires on a solid surface in conjunction with table-top lasers create an ultrahigh-energy-density plasma with extremely high ionization in the laboratory.

Plasma Wall Interactions in Heated Plasmas

1986
With the development of larger, more powerful magnetic confinement devices, the study of plasma-wall interactions becomes increasingly relevant to the controlled thermonuclear fusion program. To increase the plasma temperature in Tokamaks from the value reached by ohmic heating (1 – 2 keV), toward the value necessary for self sustaining fusion ...

Ion Heating by Expansion of Beam-Heated Plasma

Physical Review Letters, 1975
Abstract : A column of plasma, whose electrons are rapidly heated by an electron beam or laser, will expand against the external magnetic field, setting up large-amplitude magnetosonic oscillations. The authors study the dissipation of these oscillations by anomalous resistance, ion Landau damping, and ion counterstreaming, and show that much of the ...

Laser heating of particles in dusty plasmas

Physical Review E, 2005
Experiments on the heating and melting of two-dimensional finite dust crystals are performed using random laser excitation of the dust particles by a rapidly moving laser beam. The achievable dust temperatures scale with the square of the laser power.

Plasma Heating by Electric Field Compression

Physical Review Letters, 2014
Plasma heating by compression of electric fields is proposed. It is shown that periodic cycles of external compression followed by the free expansion of electric fields in the plasma cause irreversible, collisionless plasma heating and corresponding entropy generation.

Turbulent Plasma Heating.

1979
Abstract : This research involved measurements of plasma heating using electron beams, anomalous dc resistivity, and double layers. In addition, the development of a compact x-ray source is being investigated. An extensive set of measurements of the interactions of an electron beam with a collisionless plasma is summarized.

Plasma Heating with Electrically Biased Plasma Guns

Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 1994
Electrically biased plasma guns firing across the magnetic field are an effective way to heat a magnetically confined plasma. INTRODUCTION AND THEORY It is well established that intense plasma beams can propagate across a magnetic field and refuel a plasma in a closed magnetic trap (Robertson et al., 1981; Demidenko et al., 1971; Demidenko, Lomino, and

Plasma Depolarization and Heating in the Collision of Polarized Plasmas

The Physics of Fluids, 1965
A study has been conducted of the deceleration and depolarization phenomena which occurred when oppositely-directed plasma streams were caused to collide in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The depolarization which followed collision of these oppositely-polarized plasmas resulted primarily from plasma deceleration through j × B forces ...

Neutral beam heating of fusion plasmas

Reports on Progress in Physics, 1989
The author deals with the neutral beam heating of toroidal fusion plasmas. A definition of toroidal fusion plasmas and neutral beam heating is attempted in the introduction by describing fusion processes, the hierarchy of confinement devices and heating methods.
