{"title":"Shock Waves of Electric Field—Part 1: Theoretical Studies of Vysikaylo’s Jumps and Plasma Nozzles in Plasma With Current","authors":"Philipp I. Vysikaylo","doi":"10.1109/TPS.2024.3430988","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/TPS.2024.3430988","url":null,"abstract":"In this work, we prove that the cumulation (self-focusing) of charged particles in a plasma (with current) is a universal property of cumulative-dissipative structures with characteristic sizes from <inline-formula> <tex-math>$10^{-15}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> to <inline-formula> <tex-math>$10^{27}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> m. In this work, we theoretically (Part 1) and experimentally (Part 2) prove that shock waves of electric fields are focusing shells for plasma cumulative-dissipative positively charged plasma 3-D structures. In Part 1 of this work, we provide detailed theoretical justifications for the possibility of the existence of (locally self-focusing by ambipolar drift) Vysikaylo’s electric field shock waves caused by ambipolar diffusion due to a violation of the electrical neutrality of the plasma (in the presence of an electric current). Due to the greater mobility of electrons (ions are more massive), a structure with a positive space charge is formed in the electric field shock waves that self-form in the plasma (with current). Unlike Mach’s shock waves, in closed Vysikaylo’s shock waves transverse electric fields are generated due to space charge. This makes the problem (in the shock wave region of the electric field) 3-D (in particular, spherically symmetric in this region). In Part 1, we will limit ourselves to the study of stationary 1-D profiles: 1) parameters in shock waves of the electric field and 2) processes of ambipolar drift, leading to local cumulation of positive charge in the shock wave of the electric field. In Part 1, the author will limit himself to obvious remarks arising from the properties of 3-D structures with a positive space charge. Based on laboratory 3-D experiments (Part 2) and theoretical studies of gas-discharge plasma, we prove that ambipolar drift caused by different dependences of the mobility of electrons and positive ions in a simple plasma (with one type of ions) determines the dynamic processes of cumulation of plasma structures—4-D plasmoids in plasma (with current). Four-dimensional plasma structures are nonstationary 3-D structures. The author draws attention to self-formation in plasma structures (plasmoids) of stationary Vysikaylo’s plasma nozzles—analogs of Laval’s nozzles. A comparison of theoretical 1-D and experimental 3-D observations of discharge glow (this corresponds to changes in the main parameters) in gas discharge tubes will be presented in Part 2. In these experiments, a homogeneous plasma in a gas discharge tube is locally disturbed by a beam of fast electrons. This leads to the self-formation: 1) of electric field shock waves (a layer of positive volume charge) stopped by gas pumping and 2) of transition 3-D profiles and Vysikaylo’s plasma 3-D nozzles already in a quasi-neutral homogeneous plasma.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"53 3","pages":"364-370"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with the increasing voltage of transmission lines, audible noise has become a significant factor limiting the planning and construction. To research audible noise’s generation mechanisms and prediction method, this article models corona discharge on a rod-plate structure and calculates the generation and movement of particles based on 23 gas-phase reactions and eight surface reactions. We integrate the model with an acoustic source framework, which employs the electroacoustic conversion theory, solving the acoustic fluctuation equation to compute audible noise. The simulation results show a 7.5% discrepancy in the time-domain amplitude of audible noise compared to experimental measurements. The average and distribution of audible noise amplitudes from simulations and measurements at different voltages and electrode distances show a high consistency, demonstrating the accuracy of the proposed method. This approach contributes to understanding the mechanisms underlying audible noise and facilitates predictions through numerical calculations, providing a reference for designing HVdc transmission lines.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"53 3","pages":"371-381"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The single-layer structure comprises a pair of metallic T-type resonators (TRSs), a pair of VO2-TRS with equal size, and a centrally positioned crossed graphene layer. These three layers of TRS with varying sizes undergo bight-bight coupling, enabling efficient modulation of the three-band EIT-like effect through the combination of VO2 and graphene. Moreover, three distinct modulation mechanisms in the hybrid EIT metamaterials are revealed: 1) the number of EIT windows decreases as the surface temperature falls in the VO2-TRS integration; 2) the centrosymmetry is broken during the I-shaped graphene integration process, allowing dynamic control of EIT switching and transmission strength under different polarization incidences; 3) redistribution of the surface electric field in the crossed graphene layer. The three EIT windows close one by one as the Fermi level increases with a maximum modulation depth (MD) of 89.4%. The designed structure achieves a maximum transmission coefficient of 0.95 and a maximum group delay of 27.6 ps in the terahertz (THz) band, indicating excellent transmission performance and slow-light characteristics. This work demonstrates the potential application of multiband THz slow-light devices and modulators.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"351-360"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetron is regarded as a highly efficient orthogonal-field oscillator, with an injection port directly opened on the wall of its resonant cavity. It is coupling a certain amount of power into the interaction space through a coaxial line. The injection power is set at 32 W. During the start-up phase of the magnetron, the electron flow undergoes pre-modulation due to the influence of the injected small signal. When the injection duration is 20 ns, the maximum locking range is 3 MHz. The magnetron’s output signal is successfully locked by the external injection signal. The new structure combined with the short-time injection method achieves an ultralow energy injection-locking effect. Compared with the 10-ms pulse time of the traditional magnetron, the locking energy of this method is only 0.02. When the injection power is set to 200 W, the locking range extends to 8 MHz. In the locked state, changing the initial phase of the injected signal does not affect the phase difference between the output signal and the injected signal. The phase difference remains almost unchanged at the same frequency. This provides the possibility of controlling the frequency and phase of multiple magnetron arrays through single-channel injection in the future. This injection method can meet the array application requirements of magnetrons for ovens.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"245-251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For radar detecting on hypersonic target, the spatial distribution characteristics of plasma sheath cause significant differences in echo intensity and frequency offset at different areas of the target surface. In order to further investigate the reflection characteristics of each area of the target, this study adopts a difference-equivalent transmission line method to calculate the distribution characteristics of reflection intensity of the plasma-sheath-covered target and reveals the coupling mechanism of intrapulse Doppler frequency of the reflected wave by utilizing frequency offset effect. First, based on numerical calculation results of surface flow field, we analyzed the spatial distribution characteristics of the electron density and velocity of the plasma sheath. Second, we obtained the influence laws at different altitudes and carrier frequencies on the reflection intensity distribution and frequency offset of the plasma-sheath-covered target in each area. Finally, by constructing 1-D range profile of target radar echo, we further revealed the influence mechanism of the reflection characteristics of plasma-sheath-covered target on radar detection. Our research results lay a solid theoretical foundation for calculating the scattering characteristics of plasma-sheath-covered targets, reliable and robust radar detection, and even electromagnetic (EM) stealth performance under active modulation.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"220-229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In examining the phenomenon of soil discharges under negative direct current (dc), researchers have identified the presence of discharge dark spaces. It is well established that the Faraday dark space is present under negative glow discharge. However, no instance of the discharge of dark space has been documented in soil discharges. It is noteworthy that, akin to the dark spaces observed in gas discharges, which occur exclusively in negative glow discharges, soil dark spaces are only discernible under negative dc discharges. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism responsible for their formation remains elusive. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanism of soil discharges and the formation of dark space regions, a new model of soil discharges is proposed in this study. Based on this model, we derived an expression for the extent of the dark space region. Furthermore, we explored the effect of the dark space region on soil discharge. These studies facilitate the development of technologies for the remediation of pollutants by soil discharge and provide new insights for further research on the potential mechanisms of soil discharge.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"213-219"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines how intertip distance affects energy delivered to a reactor tip-plane configuration. The results are validated against previous experimental measurements. Increasing the intertip distance from 5 to 20 mm in dry air results in a proportional increase in delivered energy. The study also evaluates discharge energy, which is useful energy. It shows a loss of energy at 5 mm, but useful energy at 20 mm. Analysis of energy efficiency for different distances shows a significant improvement, varying from 45% to 88%. A subsequent study in humid air shows that no energy is lost beyond 15 mm. The study also looks at how the tip number affects the reactor’s energy delivery. It found that energy delivery increased with the number of tips. However, efficiencies decreased due to mutual effects between tips. As a result, plasma energy efficiency decreased by up to 35% despite the increase in the tip number. These results stress the key role of the threshold distance. It is vital for better energy efficiency and full coverage of target surfaces.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"259-264"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because numerous biomedical samples fall within this range, the refractive index has been adjusted within the range of 1.35 to 1.39. Using the proposed sensor, 560 absorption spectra are obtained for different polarization angles, incident angles, and cell specimens of normal and cancerous skin tissue. Different machine learning algorithms have been used to classify the cells based on the absorption spectrum obtained from the proposed sensor with an accuracy of 100% and a precision and recall of 100% and 100%, respectively, on the test data.
