Physics of Plasmas, published by AIP Publishing in cooperation with the APS Division of Plasma Physics, is committed to the publication of original research in all areas of experimental, computational, and theoretical plasma physics. Physics of Plasmas publishes comprehensive and in-depth review manuscripts and forward-looking perspectives covering important areas of study and Special Topics highlighting new and cutting-edge developments in plasma physics. Every year a special issue publishes the invited and review papers from the most recent meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics.
In the H-mode regime of diverted tokamaks, the presence of strong pressure gradients in the pedestal gives rise to a sizable bootstrap current, together with the Ohmic and Pfirsch–Schlueter currents, ...
The Harris-sheet model provides an elegant solution to the kinetic plasma equation for a steady state 1D current sheet geometry separating regions with oppositely directed magnetic field. However, ...
Achieving large-scale kinetic modeling is a crucial task for the development and optimization of modern plasma devices. With the trend of decreasing pressure in applications, such as plasma etching, ...
A Hamiltonian formalism for studying the dynamics of a dust particle with variable electric charge in dusty plasma is proposed. The Hamiltonian and the equations of motion are presented, and the ...
The influences of ion trapping and fluctuations of electron temperature and plasma flow on cross-beam energy transfer (CBET) are examined using two- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations ...
A cross-band frequency hopping high power microwave (HPM) oscillator with permanent magnet package was proposed. The oscillator comprises of an inner Ku-band hollow oscillator and an outer C-band ...
The paper [R .T. Sandberg and A. G. R. Thomas, Phys. Rev. Lett. 130 , 085001 (2023)] proposed a scheme to generate ultrashort, high energy pulses of XUV photons through dephasingless photon ...
Terahertz (THz) wave transmission in non-uniform dielectric layer containing dusty plasmas and aluminum (Al) is investigated by using the Wentzel–Kramer–Brillouin method. The application of magnetic ...
We demonstrate that beam–beam interference can significantly enhance the efficiency of multi-beam traveling-wave devices. Our theoretical analysis explains that a positive coupling of the ...
