We developed and tested a simple hybrid model for a glow discharge, which incorporates nonlocal ionization by fast electrons into the "simple" and "extended" fluid frameworks. Calculations have been performed for an argon gas. Comparison with the experimental data as well as with the hybrid (particle) and fluid modelling results demonstated good applicability of the proposed model. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Numerical evidence of spontaneous division of dissipative solitons in a planar gas discharge-semiconductor system
Rafatov, İsmail (AIP Publishing, 2019-09-01)
This work deals with the formation of patterns of spatially localized solitary objects in a planar semiconductor gas-discharge system with a high Ohmic electrode. These objects, known as dissipative solitons, are generated in this system in the form of self-organized current filaments, which develop from the homogeneous stationary state by the Turing bifurcation. The numerical model reveals, for the first time, evidence of spontaneous division of the current filaments in this system, similar to that observe...
Modelling of a spherical electric discharge at atmospheric pressure under higher modes of incident microwaves
Rafatov, İsmail; LELEVKIN, VM (Wiley, 2005-01-01)
We present a spherical microwave discharge model, which takes into account the higher modes of the incident electromagnetic waves. The discharge model is constructed on the basis of the channel approximation of the LTE plasma. Numerical experiments are carried out for the discharge in an argon at atmospheric pressure. Results are presented for the characteristics of the discharge plasma against the external parameters (the size of the discharge chamber and the applied electromagnetic field mode, power and f...
Optoelectronic properties of Tl3InSe4 single crystals
QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The crystal structure, temperature-dependent electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, current-voltage characteristics, absorption spectra and temperature- and illumination-dependent photoconductivity of Tl3InSe4 single crystals were investigated. Tl3InSe4 crystallises in a body-centred lattice with tetragonal symmetry and belongs to the space group [image omitted]. The crystals are extrinsic p-type semiconductors and exhibit a conductivity conversion from p- to n-type at a critical temperature, Tc, of 283...
Experimental study on the velocity limits of magnetized rotating plasmas
Teodorescu, C.; Clary, R.; Ellis, R. F.; Hassam, A. B.; Lunsford, R.; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Young, W. C. (AIP Publishing, 2008-04-01)
An experimental study on the physical limits of the rotation velocity of magnetized plasmas is presented. Experiments are performed in the Maryland Centrifugal Experiment (MCX) [R. F. Ellis , Phys. Plasmas 12, 055704 (2005)], a mirror magnetic field plasma rotating azimuthally. The externally applied parameters that control the plasma characteristics-applied voltage, external magnetic field, and fill pressure-are scanned across the entire available range of values. It is found that the plasma rotation veloc...
Three-dimensional numerical modelling of temporal and spatial pattern formation in a dc-driven gas discharge-semiconductor system
Rafatov, İsmail (IOP Publishing, 2016-12-01)
A three-dimensional numerical model is developed and applied to study the temporal and spatial pattern formation in the planar layered system, consisting of a glow discharge layer, coupled to a high ohmic semiconductor layer. The whole system is sandwiched between two planar electrodes, to which a dc voltage is applied.
