Collisionless Kinetic Theory of Oblique Tearing Instabilities
Scott D. Baalrud, Amitava Bhattacharjee, William Daughton
The linear dispersion relation for collisionless kinetic tearing instabilities is calculated for a Harris equilibrium. In contrast to the conventional 2D geometry, which considers…
Reduction of electron heating by magnetizing ultracold neutral plasma
Sanat Kumar Tiwari, Scott D. Baalrud
Electron heating in an ultracold neutral plasma is modeled using classical molecular dynamics simulations in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field. A sufficiently st…
Transport Regimes Spanning Magnetization-Coupling Phase Space
Scott D. Baalrud, Jerome Daligault
The manner in which transport properties vary over the entire parameter-space of coupling and magnetization strength is explored for the first time. Four regimes are identified bas…
Theory and simulation of anode spots in low pressure plasmas
Brett Scheiner, Edward Barnat, Scott Baalrud +2
When electrodes are biased above the plasma potential, electrons accelerated through the associated electron sheath can dramatically increase the ionization rate of neutrals near t…
Pair Correlation Functions of Strongly Coupled Two-Temperature Plasma
Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Sanat Kumar Tiwari, Scott D. Baalrud
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we perform the first direct tests of three proposed models for the pair correlation functions of strongly coupled plasmas with species of uneq…
Temperature Anisotropy Relaxation of the One-Component Plasma
Scott D. Baalrud, Jerome Daligault
The relaxation rate of a Maxwellian velocity distribution function that has an initially anisotropic temperature is an important physical process in sp…
