Ionization-Induced Electrostatic Hose Instability in Electron-Beam-Sustained Plasmas
Jia-Hong Chen, Yi Yu, Jian Chen +1
We report the discovery of a previously unrecognized electrostatic hose instability in electron-beam-sustained plasmas, driven by the coupling between the electron beam centroid an…

Three-dimensional Helical-rotating Plasma Structures in Beam-generated Partially Magnetized Plasmas
Jian Chen, Andrew T. Powis, Igor D. Kaganovich +1
Azimuthal structures emerging in beam-generated partially magnetized plasmas are investigated using three-dimensional particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision simulations. Two distin…

Particle-In-Cell simulations of the filamentation process in magnetized radio-frequency plasmas
Huidong Huang, Jian Chen, Zhibin Wang
In a uniform radio-frequency (RF) plasma between a large electrode pair, the addition of an axial magnetic field induces diverse longitudinal filaments. To reveal its pattern dynam…
