Transport of energetic electrons in a magnetically expanding helicon double layer plasma TAKAHASHI, Kazunori CHARLES, Christine BOSWELL, Rod COX, Wes HATAKEYAMA, Rikizo plasma density plasma sheaths plasma temperature plasma transport processes Peripheral magnetic field lines extending from the plasma source into the diffusion chamber are found to separate two regions of Maxwellian electron energy probability functions: the central, ion-beam containing region with an electron temperature of 5 eV, and region near the chamber walls with electrons at 3 eV. Along the peripheral field lines a bi-Maxwellian population with a hot tail at 9 eV is shown to both originate from electrons in the source traveling downstream across the double layer and correspond to a local maximum in ion and electron densities. journal article American Institute of Physics 2009-05-01 VoR application/pdf Applied Physics Letters 19 94 191503-1 191503-3 1077-3118 0003-6951 https://iwate-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/9943/files/apl-v94i19p191503.pdf https://iwate-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/9943 eng https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3136721 (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics open access
