Effects of the applied fields' strength on the plasma behavior and processes in ExB plasma discharges of various propellants: I. Electric field
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
We present, in this two-part article, an extensive study on the influence that the magnitudes of the applied electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields have on a collisionless plasma dis…

Influence of the magnetic field's curvature on the radial-azimuthal dynamics of a Hall thruster plasma discharge with different propellants
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
The topology of the applied magnetic field is an important design aspect of Hall thrusters. For modern Hall thrusters, the field topology most often features curved lines with a co…
