Effects of particle-induced electron emission on transport properties in electrically-biased plasma sheaths under fusion-relevant conditions

Lucio Murillo, Chirag Skolar, Kolter Bradshaw +1

A rigorous implementation of energy-dependent ion- and electron-induced electron emission in a continuum-kinetic framework is used to reveal their effects on the scaling of plasma…

Effects of parallel magnetic fields on sheaths near biased electrodes in a highly collisional Z-pinch plasma

C. R. Skolar, B. Srinivasan

Sheath formation near biased electrodes in magnetic fields parallel to the wall is an understudied topic, especially within the context of Z-pinch fusion experiments. We perform 1X…

Computing the generalized plasma dispersion function for non-Maxwellian plasmas, with applications to Thomson scattering

Chirag R. Skolar, William J. Longley, Lindsay V. Goodwin

Kinetic plasma studies often require computing integrals of the velocity distribution over a complex-valued pole. The standard method is to solve the integral in the complex plane…

General kinetic ion induced electron emission model for metallic walls applied to biased Z-pinch electrodes

Chirag R. Skolar, Kolter Bradshaw, Manaure Francisquez +3

A kinetic ion induced electron emission (IIEE) model for general applications is developed to obtain the emitted electron energy spectrum for a distribution of ion impacts on a met…

Continuum kinetic investigation of the impact of bias potentials in the current saturation regime on sheath formation

Chirag R. Skolar, Kolter Bradshaw, James Juno +1

In this work, we examine sheath formation in the presence of bias potentials in the current saturation regime for pulsed power fusion experiments. It is important to understand how…
