Sticky islands in stochastic webs and anomalous chaotic cross-field particle transport by ExB electron drift instability
D. Mandal, Y. Elskens, X. Leoncini +2
The ExB electron drift instability, present in many plasma devices, is an important agent in cross-field particle transport. In presence of a resulting low frequency electrostatic…
Ultra slow electron holes in collisionless plasmas: stability at high ion temperature
D. Mandal, D. Sharma, H. Schamel
Numerical simulations recover ultra slow electron holes (EH) of electron-acoustic genre propagating stably well below the ion acoustic speed where the ion response disallows any kn…
Cross-field chaotic transport of electrons by ExB electron drift instability in Hall thruster
D. Mandal, Y. Elskens, N. Lemoine +1
A model calculation is presented to characterize the anomalous cross-field transport of electrons in a Hall thruster geometry. The anomalous nature of the transport is attributed t…
Cross-field chaotic transport of electrons by electron drift instability in Hall thrusters
Debraj Mandal, Yves Elskens, Nicolas Lemoine +1
One special interest for the industrial development of Hall thruster is characterizing the anomalous cross-field electron transport observed after the channel exit. Since the ioniz…
Electron hole instability in linearly sub-critical plasmas
Debraj Mandal, Devendra Sharma, Hans Schamel
Electron holes (EH) are highly stable non-linear structures met omnipresently in driven collision-less hot plasmas. A mechanism destabilizing small perturbations into holes is esse…
