Abstract (AI)
The dispersion relation for helicon waves in a uniform, bounded plasma is derived with both collisional and Landau damping. It is shown that the latter can explain the very high absorption efficiency of helicon waves in plasma sources and can lead to plasma generators with a controlled primary electron energy. The wave pattern and other features of helicon waves are pointed out.
Key Findings
1
Landau damping is identified as an explanation for the very high absorption efficiency of helicon waves in plasma sources.
2
The analysis indicates that helicon-wave Landau damping can enable plasma generators with controlled primary-electron energy.
3
The paper characterizes the wave pattern and other features of helicon waves.
4
The paper derives the dispersion relation for helicon waves in a uniform, bounded plasma, incorporating both collisional and Landau damping.
