The axial dependence of the cathode current density in the longitudinal hollow cathode discharge

In the present paper the axial dependence of the cathode current distribution in the longitudinal hollow cathode discharge is investigated. On the basis of experimental results the model of the longitudinal hollow cathode discharge is developed and axial distribution of the cathode current is discussed.This work has been done in the frame of the Association for Education, Research and Application in Plasma-Chemical Processes and has been partially financially supported by Nos. 202/93/0659 and 202/95/1222 grants of Grant Agency of the Czech Republic. The main results have been presented as a poster on 10th Symposium on Elementary Processes and Chemical Reaction in Low Temperature Plasma, Stará Lesná (Slovakia), 1994.     

Boson realization of YangiansY(sl(2)) andY(sl(3))

Studying the algebraic structure of the YangiansY(sl(2)), andY(sl(3)) we present their boson realizations. In the case ofY(sl(2)) we give the realization by using 1-canonical boson pair and two parameters and in theY(sl(3)) with 2-canonical boson pairs, two parameters and subalgebrasl(2). Substituting the realization ofU(sl(2)), we can obtain the pure boson realization by 3-canonical pairs and three parameters.Presented at the 4th Colloquium Quantum Groups and Integrable Systems, Prague, 22–24 June 1995.     

Resonances in low-energy rare-gas atom scattering

Precise values of energies and widths of low-lying resonances in some rare-gas atom systems (Ar-Ar, Ne-Kr, Ne-Xe) are reported.     

Influence of a background gas on expanding plasma clots

An expansion of finite plasma clots into the background neutral gas is studied numerically. The presented model includes the quasineutrality violation as well as the interpenetration of plasma and neutral gas at the boundary of the plasma. We estimate the region of plasma parameters where the model is correct. Space distributions of main plasma parameters, cooling of electrons and the process of inter-penetration of the plasma and the neutral gas are analysed as well as an empiric formula for electron temperature is found. Finally, it is shown that the most intensive plasma-gas inter-penetration occurs in the case where the initial plasma and gas densities are the same.
