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…

Capturing Secondary Kinetic Instabilities in Three-Dimensional Dayside Reconnection Using an Improved Gradient-Based Closure

Kolter Bradshaw, Ammar Hakim, James Juno +3

Magnetic reconnection is a highly dynamic process that excites a wide variety of kinetic waves and instabilities. Transverse current sheet instabilities such as the lower-hybrid dr…

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…

Plasma sheath studies using a physical treatment of electron emission from a dielectric wall

Kolter Bradshaw, Petr Cagas, Ammar Hakim +1

When a plasma sheath forms next to a dielectric wall, material properties determine electron absorption and reflection from the surface, impacting the sheath formation and structur…
