A microwave coherent backscattering experiment has been carried out on Mirabelle, a weakly ionized plasma device, with the objective of measuring the electron-density fluctuation level. The experiment is a preliminary step in order to prepare the detection system for a microwave stimulated-backscattering experiment. The incident electromagnetic wave is focused in front of a plane grid, which excites ion acoustic or electron Bernstein waves and induces fluctuations in the plasma. The backscattering signal is collected by the launching circuit and detected by homodyne mixing. The typical ratio of the scattered power to the incident power is about 10−12 and the relative density fluctuations is of the order of δne/ne ≈10−3 against a background electron density ne=(1–5)×109 cm−3. The backscattering measurement is also compared with Langmuir-probe measurements, and gives good agreement with the relative density fluctuations. The spectral width of the backscattered signal has also been studied, by taking into account effects due to the incident-wave focusing and plasma-wave damping.

We present a new experimental platform for studying laboratory astrophysics that combines a high-intensity, high-repetition-rate laser with the Large Plasma Device at the University of California, Los Angeles. To demonstrate the utility of this platform, we show the first results of volumetric, highly repeatable magnetic field and electrostatic potential measurements, along with derived quantities of electric field, charge density and current density, of the interaction between a super-Alfvénic laser-produced plasma and an ambient, magnetized plasma.

AbstractIn a magnetized plasma containing charged dust whose motion is magnetized, one of the fundamental collective modes that could occur is the electrostatic dust cyclotron (EDC) wave with frequency near the dust cyclotron frequency. The EDC wave propagates nearly perpendicular to the magnetic field with a small parallel wave number, so that it can be driven unstable by ion flow along the magnetic field. Because unstable parallel wavelengths can be relatively large, this places constraints on the plasma device size. In this paper, we use linear kinetic theory to investigate the excitation of higher harmonic EDC waves that have wavelengths smaller than that of the fundamental mode. Collisions of charged particles with neutrals and Coulomb collisions including dust–dust collisions are taken into account. Constraints on possible parameter ranges arising from collisional effects or from requiring stability of other waves are discussed. Numerical results are presented for possible sets of laboratory dusty plasma parameters.

The stability of polyaniline synthesized using pulsed inductively coupled plasma device was studied in alkaline media. Polyaniline was exposed to potassium hydroxide at 25°C and 90°C for various time intervals up to 4 months. An increase in %mass loss, the decreases in the absorbance intensities of polyaniline characteristic bands in FT-IR and UV-Visible spectra and the reduction of the conductivity with increasing exposure time to alkaline solution and/or temperature indicated the increases in the conversion of polyaniline into its base form and the degradation of its structure. The results also suggested that the temperature was the main factor affecting its conductivity in alkaline stability since exposing at 25°C and 90°C caused the conductivity to decrease from 4.53x10-8 S.cm-1 to 1.74x10-8 S.cm-1 and 8.15x10-9 S.cm-1 in 4 months, respectively. Therefore, this polyaniline synthesized via this system may be suitable for the applications at room temperature where alkaline stability is needed.
