Is Development

The problem of this work is development of scientific foundations of technological plasma processes for defect-free synthesis and processing of nanoscale structures for use in nanoelectronics. The goal of this work is development of a method for numerical calculation of the parameters of the ion flow to the sample for the real geometry of the beam-plasma installation. Results. We have created a numerical model for the development of a beam-plasma discharge by an electron beam in the absence of a buffer plasma and a longitudinal magnetic field. It is shown that the KARAT code allows us to solve the problem of developing beam instability in the absence of a buffer plasma. It was also shown that beam instability develops without a longitudinal magnetic field. The electric field created by the instability does not affect the peripheral plasma. The experimental verification of the numerical modeling results is carried out. The plasma concentration and electron temperature distributions obtained in the model are in qualitative agreement with the experimental ones. Practical significance. The model allows us to select the optimal modes of a plasma-chemical reactor based on a beamplasma discharge for the implementation of processes of defect-free ion-plasma treatment and synthesis of nanoscale structures.

The Magnetic Field

The interaction of electron beams with a large variety of materials for information storage has been the subject of numerous proposals and studies in the recent literature. The materials range from photographic to thermoplastic and magnetic, and the interactions with the electron beam for writing and reading the information utilize the energy, or the current, or even the magnetic field associated with the electron beam.

Decisive Evidence

Abstract. Direct observations of magnetic-field-aligned (parallel) electric fields in the downward current region of the aurora provide decisive evidence of naturally occurring double layers. We report measurements of parallel electric fields, electron fluxes and ion fluxes related to double layers that are responsible for particle acceleration. The observations suggest that parallel electric fields organize into a structure of three distinct, narrowly-confined regions along the magnetic field (B). In the "ramp" region, the measured parallel electric field forms a nearly-monotonic potential ramp that is localized to ~ 10 Debye lengths along B. The ramp is moving parallel to B at the ion acoustic speed (vs) and in the same direction as the accelerated electrons. On the high-potential side of the ramp, in the "beam" region, an unstable electron beam is seen for roughly another 10 Debye lengths along B. The electron beam is rapidly stabilized by intense electrostatic waves and nonlinear structures interpreted as electron phase-space holes. The "wave" region is physically separated from the ramp by the beam region. Numerical simulations reproduce a similar ramp structure, beam region, electrostatic turbulence region and plasma characteristics as seen in the observations. These results suggest that large double layers can account for the parallel electric field in the downward current region and that intense electrostatic turbulence rapidly stabilizes the accelerated electron distributions. These results also demonstrate that parallel electric fields are directly associated with the generation of large-amplitude electron phase-space holes and plasma waves.

Laser Stability

This paper gives an extensive characterization of the range of validity of the Compton and Raman approximations to the exact free electron laser dispersion relation for a cold, relativistic electron beam propagating through a constantamplitude helical wiggler magnetic field. The electron beam is treated as infinite in transverse extent. Specific properties of the exact and approximate dispersion relations are investigated analytically and numerically. In particular, a detailed numerical analysis is carried out to determine the range of validity of the Compton approximation.
