From plasma to pattern: observation and characterization of periodic structure formation in dielectric breakdown channels of electron-irradiated insulators
Nick R. Schwartz, Bryson C. Clifford, Carolyn Chun +11
Dielectric breakdown of insulators is one of the most common failure modes of electronics in the high-radiation environment of space, but its mechanics remain poorly understood. Wh…

Electrically insulating materials for centrifugal mirrors
Nick R. Schwartz, Carlos A. Romero-Talamás, Marlene I. Patino +10
The centrifugal mirror confinement scheme incorporates supersonic rotation into a magnetic mirror device, which stabilizes and heats the plasma. This concept is under investigation…
