The theory of a rotating plasma in crossed electric and magnetic fields

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the behaviour of a weakly ionized gas confined by cylindrical electrodes and dielectric fronts. An ionized gas is put into a rotational movement by transverse electric and longitudinal magnetic fields. Quantities describing a plasma in the stationary state have been obtained by solving a system of macroscopic equations. Some of them are compared with experimental data.
