Dust Lattice Waves of Dusty Plasma Chain with an External Magnetic Field

Dust lattice waves of a one-dimensional plasma crystal chain with an external magnetic field are investigated. When the magnetic field is in the vertical direction （θ- 0）, perpendicular to the chain, the vertical transverse mode is not affected, while the horizontal transverse mode is coupled with the longitudinal mode. In the high frequency range, we obtain an ‘upper-hybrid＇ dust lattice mode and in the low frequency range, we obtain a ＇lower-hybrid＇ dust lattice mode. Between the two modes, a ＇gap＇ is formed. When the magnetic field is oriented to the chain （0 = π/2）, the longitudinal mode is not affected while both the horizontal and vertical transverse modes are shifted due to the effect of the magnetic field.     

Nonlinear Interaction of Plasma Waves in External Magnetic Field and the Possibility of Up-Conversion

Nonlinear interaction of low-frequency resonant and high-frequency nonresonant plasma oscillations in the presence of an external magnetic field is studied. In the case of Iongitudinal waves it is shown that the up-conversion of plasma oscillations' energy is possible in such a system.     

Effects of External Magnetic Field on Propagation of Electromagnetic Wave in Uniform Magnetized Plasma Slabs

Absorbers and reflectors of electromagnetic waves have many applications, and so the interactions between electromagnetic waves and low-temperature plasma, particularly numerical analysis of reflection, absorption, and transmission of electromagnetic waves in unmagnetized, magnetized, nonuniform, and uniform plasma, have been a topic of intensive research. For instance, Laroussi numerically evaluated the interactions between electromagnetic waves and a uniform magnetized plasma cylinder, and Helaly and Yeh studied the scattering from nonuniform magnetized plasma cylinders.     

Emission Intensity Enhancement of DC Arc Plasma Induced by External Oscillating Magnetic Field

Direct current (dc) arc plasma with continuous aerosol supply was coupled with an external oscillatingmagnetic field of a few tens of mT and a frequency of up to 1 kHz. Such configuration was used to alter the plasma‐related radiative properties. The magnetic field was oriented perpendicularly to the electric field in the plasma and forced the arc column to oscillate as a whole with respect to the surrounding atmosphere. The magnitude of the appliedmagnetic.eld controls the amplitude of the oscillatory motion. Several parameters that can contribute to the radiative properties of the plasma were investigated (arc current, composition of aerosol introduced into the plasma, amplitude and frequency of the magnetic field applied). Spectral emission from different zones of the plasma column was measured by optical emission spectroscopy (OES). In comparison to steady‐state plasma, the applied magnetic field induces an intensity enhancement of emission of the most analytes considered. The intensity enhancement is strongly affected by the amplitude and frequency of plasma column oscillations, i.e. by plasma column velocity. Also, intensity enhancement depends on the plasma zone observed. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Effect of Longitudinal Magnetic Field on the Spread of Erosion Laser Plasma in Vacuum and Generation of Plasma Magnetic Fields

Dynamics of erosion laser plasma in vacuum and generation of magnetic field by moving plasma (in particular, in the presence of external static magnetic field oriented along the direction of plasma motion) are experimentally studied. Radial confinement of the spread of plasma, a decrease in the electrification of target upon plasma formation, and an increase in the induction of the plasma magnetic field by a factor of 10–15 are revealed at an induction of the external magnetic field of about 0.35 T. Dependences of the induction of the plasma magnetic field on the power density of the laser radiation are determined for the above regimes.     

Effect of an External Magnetic Field on the Plasmon Polaritons of Thue-Morse Semiconductor Superlattices

The collective magnetoplasmon polariton excitations in a semiconductor superlattice with the thicknesses arranged in Thue-Morse sequence are studied. We take the effect of retardation into account and assume the system is subjected to an external static magnetic field applied parallel to the interfaces. It is found that the spectrum of the polariton has the Cantor-like structure, and the total widths of the bands show scaling properties with increasing the generation. The external magnetic field makes the bands become more narrow and shift to higher frequencies for the optical modes and to lower frequencies for the acoustic modes. For a given excitation frequency, the localization properties,of the modes will be changed if we vary the external field.     

Self-Consistent Model of an RF Inductive Plasma Source Located in an External Magnetic Field

A theory for calculating plasma resistance and the RF power absorbed in an inductive plasma source is developed. Conditions are determined under which most of the power is absorbed by the plasma. It is shown that these conditions correspond to excitation of spatial waves (oblique Langmuir wave and helicon). A simple self-consistent model of the plasma source is proposed, which explains the specific features of the plasma sources experimentally observed.     

Effect of an External Magnetic Field on Magnetoplasmons in Finite Thue-Morse Metal-Metal Superlattices

We have investigated the properties of the magnetoplasmon polariton excitation of a finite Thue-Morse superlattice structure which consists of two building blocks with nonzero plasma frequency. We find that there exist some new modes in an external magnetic field.     

On the Symmetrical Modes in a Cylindrical Nonisothermal Plasma Waveguide in a Finite External Magnetic Field

A MHD, symmetrical, nonpotential waves in nonuniform, cylindrical nonisothermal plasma waveguide placed in a finite external magnetic field H ₀ directed along the axis of the waveguide are considered. The thermal velocity of the electrons ν_Te = (kT_e/m_e)^1/2 (k — Boltzman's constant, T_e — temperature, m_e — mass of the electron) is not neglected. As a consequence we obtain one more solution in the plasma region and respectively an equation of third power on χ² — the transverse wave number. As far as we know only equations of second power on χ² describing non-potential waves are investigated. The dispersion equations are written solving the boundary-value problem. Our results coincide with well known ones when the electron thermal velocity tends to zero.     

Laser-Plasma Interaction in Presence of an Obliquely External Magnetic Field: Application to Laser Fusion without Radioactivity

In this paper, the nonlinear interaction of ultra-high power laser beam with fusion plasma at relativistic regime in the presence of obliquely external magnetic field has been studied. Imposing an external magnetic field on plasma can modify the density profile of the plasma so that the thermal conductivity of electrons reduces which is considered to be the decrease of the threshold energy for ignition. To achieve the fusion of Hydrogen-Boron (HB) fuel, the block acceleration model of plasma is employed. Energy production by HB isotopes can be of interest, since its reaction does not generate radioactive tritium. By using the inhibit factor in the block model acceleration of plasma and Maxwell's as well as the momentum transfer equations, the electron density distribution and dielectric permittivity of the plasma medium are obtained. Numerical results indicate that with increasing the intensity of the external magnetic field, the oscillation of the laser magnetic field decreases, while the dielectric permittivity increases. Moreover, the amplitude of the electron density becomes highly peaked and the plasma electrons are strongly bunched with increasing the intensity of external magnetic field. Therefore, the magnetized plasma can act as a positive focusing lens to enhance the fusion process. Besides, we find that with increasing θ-angle (from oblique external magnetic field) between 0 and 90°, the dielectric permittivity increases, while for θ between 90° and 180°, the dielectric permittivity decreases with increasing θ.     

Magnetic Behavior of Ferri-ferromagnetic Alloy in Presence of External Magnetic Field

The magnetic behavior of the mixed ferro-ferrimagnetic alloy with (A_a B_b C_c)_y D structure composed of Ising spins S_A=1, S_B=5/2, S_C=2, and S_D=3/2 in the presence of the external magnetic field is investigated by the use of the effective field theory. The role of concentration b is discussed in this system in detail. Results show that for a=0.4, only when the concentration b is in the region 0.60≥b>0.34 can the ferrimagnetic behavior be seen. Otherwise, the alloy shows ferromagnetic behavior.

Effect of Finite Rise Time on the Strength of the Magnetic Field Generated in a Switched Plasma

The effect of a magnetized transient plasma on a circularly polarized source wave, when the rise time of the electron density profile is comparable to the source wave period, is considered. The H-formulation Green's function is developed to study the effect of a finite rise time on the generation of a wiggler magnetic field.     

Negativity in the Extended Hubbard Model under External Magnetic Field

We exactly calculate the negativity, a measurement of entanglement, in the two-site extended Hubbard model with external magnetic field. Its behaviour at different temperatures is presented. The negativity reduces with the increasing temperature or with the increasing uniform external magnetic field. It is also found that a non-uniform external magnetic field can be used to modulate or to increase the negativity.

Influence of Quantum Effects on the Magnetic Field Behavior in Overdense Plasma

We study the conditions for the anomalous transmission of electromagnetic waves through quantum overdense plasma. We show that this anomalous transmission is triggered due to the excitation of surface waves, as was observed in the classical overdense plasma. The conditions for the excitation of surface waves are obtained by studying the dispersion relation within the framework of quantum hydrodynamics. The corresponding consequences at the classical limits are consistent with the previous studies. In comparison with the classical regimes, the quantum dispersion curve exhibits an asymptotic behavior which indicates significant effects, in particular, at large wavelengths. Herein, to create the required evanescent waves, we consider the quantum plasma to be placed between two ordinary prisms and dielectrics. The effects of the main parameters, such as the permittivity of the prisms and dielectrics and the Fermi velocity, on the rate of the transmission and the magnetic field propagation are also evaluated.
