Measurement of electron-atom collision frequency in an arc plasma by a radiofrequency coil probe combined with a transverse magnetic field

摘要

The tensorial behaviour of electrical conductivity of an are placed in a transverse magnetic field (less than or equal to 360 G) has been explored to measure the electron-atom collision frequency (nu(ce)). The measurements have been carried out in the range of currents 3.0-5.0 A, at a pressure 0.0625 Ton. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. [References: 8]
