The Influence of Neutral Flow Rate in the Operation of Hall Thrusters. (2009, methodology): “An incremental improvement on this method is to consider the ratio of the axial current to the total integrated current by multiplying the local ion current density by the cosine of the angle from centerline [103]:”
100 years of the physics of diodes (2017, background): “By solving the coupled ion current continuity equation and Poisson’s equation, it is easy to show that the ion current density across the sheath of thickness D with potential drop of V is governed by 311–315 which is the CL law, Eq.”
Helicon-type radiofrequency plasma thrusters and magnetic plasma nozzles (2019, background): “2014, 2016) and by an increase in the local neutral density (called the Clausing factor in Goebel and Katz 2008), were not verified in Kuwahara et al.”
The use of hollow cathodes in deposition processes: A critical review (2015, background): “Hollow cathodes are used in a wide variety of applications: as efficient light sources [23], as sources of electrons [207–213] to generate excited species for elemental analysis [1,152,183,214], as ion sources [3,199,215–219], for nitriding [220–223], space propulsion [224–226], vacuum welding [227]”
