A fluid model for an argon rf discharge in a cylindrical discharge chamber is presented. The
model contains the particle balances for electrons and ions and the electron energy balance. …

The dynamical onset of lane formation is studied in experiments with binary complex plasmas
under microgravity conditions. Small microparticles are driven and penetrate into a cloud …

A magnetized hydrogen plasma beam was generated with a cascaded arc, expanding in a
vacuum vessel at an axial magnetic field of up to 1.6 T⁠. Its characteristics were measured at …

A self‐consistent hybrid Monte Carlo‐fluid model for a direct current glow discharge is presented.
The Monte Carlo part simulates the fast electrons while the fluid part describes the ions …

A highly sensitive imaging Thomson scattering system was developed for low temperature (0.1–10
eV) plasma applications at the Pilot-PSI linear plasma generator. The essential parts …

A one-dimensional fluid model for radio-frequency glow discharges is presented which
describes silane/hydrogen discharges that are used for the deposition of amorphous silicon ( a -…

The FOM-Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen is constructing Magnum-PSI; a magnetized
(3T), steady-state, large area (80cm 2 ) high-flux (up to 10 24 H + ions m −2 s −1 ) plasma …

A numerical study on the ion and neutral angular impact energy distribution at the rf‐driven
electrode of a reactive ion etcher is presented. The calculations for the ions are performed …

The high-power density of a frequency quadrupled pulsed Nd-YAG laser has been used to
photodetach electrons from negative ions in rf plasmas generated within a microwave cavity. …

The operation of a mass spectrometer system with an electrostatic energy analyser, designed
for measurements of mass-resolved ion-energy distributions, is discussed. We show how …
