Finite element simulation for validation of multi-dipole line cusp magnetic field configuration for MPD
A. D. Patel, A. Amardas, N. Ramasubramanian
A Multi-dipole line cusp configured Plasma Device (MPD) having six electromagnets with embedded Vacoflux-50 as a core material has been operated with a capability to experimentally…
Coaxial tungsten hot plate-based cathode source for Cesium plasma production confined in MPD device
A. D. Patel, Zubin Shaikh, M. Sharma +2
A Multi-dipole line cusp configured Plasma Device (MPD) having six electromagnets with embedded Vacoflux-50 as a core material and a hot filament-based cathode for Argon plasma pro…
Characteristics of a Plasma Source with adjustable multi-pole line cusp geometry
Meenakshee Sharma, A. D. Patel, N. Ramasubramanian +3
Two magnetic configurations of Multi-cusp Plasma Device (MPD) have been explored to obtain high quiescence level, large uniform plasma region with nearly flat mean density and temp…
Observation of neutrals carrying ion-acoustic wave momentum in partially ionized plasma
Meenakshee Sharma, A. D. Patel, Zubin Shaikh +4
An experimental study of Ion Acoustic (IA) wave propagation is performed to investigate the effect of neutral density for argon plasma in an unmagnetized linear plasma device. The…
Characterization of Argon Plasma in a variable Multi-pole line Cusp Magnetic Field Configuration
A. D. Patel, M. Sharma, N. Ramasubramanian
This paper demonstrates a detailed characterization of argon plasma in a variable multi-pole line cusp magnetic field (VMMF). The VMMF has been produced by placing six electromagne…
