The influence of a longitudinal magnetic fields on a non-uniform positive column

The variations of plasma parameters of a dc discharge in a non-uniform magnetized plasma were measured using fast floating double Langmuir probes. A solenoid is used to produce a uniform magnetic field parallel to the discharge axis. The axial changes of the plasma parameters are presented in the range of longitudinal magnetic fields 200 to 600 Gauss at the pressure range 0.3 to 2.1 Torr and discharge currents 5 and 15 mA in argon gas. The experimental results indicate that, as a consequence of the axial magnetic field and the variations in the discharge tube radii, the plasma parameters at small radius exhibit obvious changes in their distributions along the axis compared to the situation of unmagnetized plasma.

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...
Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision Method for Simulation of RF Glow Discharges: Effect of Super Particle Weighting
ERDEN, E.; Rafatov, İsmail (Wiley, 2014-08-01)
A parallel Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) numerical code for glow discharge plasma simulations is developed and verified. This method is based on simultaneous solution of the Lorentz equations of motion of super particles, coupled with the Poisson's equation for electric field. Collisions between the particles are modelled by the Monte Carlo method. Proper choice of particle weighting is critically important in order to perform adequate and efficient PIC simulations of plasma. Herein, effe...
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.
The positional effect of dodecagonal holes on C-56 structure
Türker, Burhan Lemi (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-14)
Some C-56 isomers obtained theoretically from C-60 structure by deleting two C-2 units and bonds adjacent to those have been subjected to AM1 (UHF) type semiempirical quantum chemical calculations. Positional effects of dodecagonal (cyclododecahexaene rings) holes on the stabilities are discussed in the case of neutral as well as monovalent cationic form of these species which are all stable but endothermic in nature.
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...
