Effect of Inhomogeneous magnetic field on Plasma generation in a low magnetic field helicon discharge
Sonu Yadav, Prabal K Chattopadhyay, Kshitish K. Barada +2
The ionization efficiency of helicon plasma discharge is explored by changing the low axial magnetic field gradients near the helicon antenna. The highest plasma density is found f…

Hollow density formation in magnetically expanding helicon plasma
Sonu Yadav, Soumen Ghosh, Sayak Bose +3
Measurement of radial density profile in both the source and expansion chambers of a helicon plasma device have revealed that it is always centrally peaked in the source chamber, w…
