Opportunities for plasma separation techniques in rare earth elements recycling
Renaud Gueroult, Jean-Marcel Rax, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Rare earth elements recycling has been proposed to alleviate supply risks and market volatility. In this context, the potential of a new recycling pathway, namely plasma mass separ…
Centrifugal instability in the regime of fast rotation
Renaud Gueroult, Jean-Marcel Rax, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Centrifugal instability, which stems from a difference between the azimuthal angular drift velocity of ions and electrons, is studied in the limit of fast rotation for which ions c…
Harnessing mass differential confinement effects in magnetized rotating plasmas to address new separation needs
Renaud Gueroult, Jean-Marcel Rax, Stewart J. Zweben +1
The ability to separate large volumes of mixed species based on atomic mass appears desirable for a variety of emerging applications with high societal impact. One possibility to m…
Drift and Separation in Collisionality Gradients
I. E. Ochs, J. M. Rax, R. Gueroult +1
We identify a single-particle drift resulting from collisional interactions with a background species, in the presence of a collisionality gradient and background net flow. We anal…
On the role of magnetosonic solitons in perpendicular collisionless shock reformation
Renaud Gueroult, Yukiharu Oshawa, Nathaniel J. Fisch
The nature of the magnetic structure arising from ion specular reflection in shock compression studies is examined by means of 1d particle in cell simulations. Propagation speed, f…
