Plasma-wall transition and sheath formation
Giovanni Manfredi, Fabrice Valsaque
A review of the theoretical and computational aspects of plasma-wall transition is presented. The conditions for the existence of plasma sheaths in front of a solid surface are est…
Density functional theory for collisionless plasmas -- equivalence of fluid and kinetic approaches
Giovanni Manfredi
Density functional theory (DFT) is a powerful theoretical tool widely used in such diverse fields as computational condensed matter physics, atomic physics, and quantum chemistry.…
Chodura and Debye sheaths for magnetic fields with grazing incidence -- kinetic simulations
David Coulette, Giovanni Manfredi
When an unmagnetized plasma comes in contact with a material surface, the difference in mobility between the electrons and the ions creates a nonneutral layer known as the Debye sh…
Theory and applications of the Vlasov equation
F. Pegoraro, F. Califano, G. Manfredi +1
Forty articles have been recently published in EPJD as contributions to the topical issue "Theory and applications of the Vlasov equation". The aim of this topical issue was to pro…
Solid state plasmas
Giovanni Manfredi, Jérôme Hurst
Magnetic fusion devices operate at regimes characterized by extremely high temperatures and low densities, for which the charged particles motion is well described by classical mec…
Semiclassical Vlasov and fluid models for an electron gas with spin effects
Jerome Hurst, Omar Morandi, Giovanni Manfredi +1
We derive a four-component Vlasov equation for a system composed of spin-1/2 fermions (typically electrons). The orbital part of the motion is classical, whereas the spin degrees o…
