Spatial proximity effects on the excitation of Sheath RF Voltages by evanescent Slow Waves in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies

Laurent Colas, Ling-Feng Lu, Alena Křivská

We investigate theoretically how sheath radio-frequency (RF) oscillations relate to the spatial structure of the near RF parallel electric field E// emitted by Ion Cyclotron (IC) w…
