Plasma Accelerator

Scientific paper

Quasistationary plasma accelerator of magnetoplasma compressor type with semitransparent electrodes operating in an ion current transfer regime has been constructed and studied. Main discharge and compression plasma flow parameters have been measured. It has been found that the current cut off limiting the increase of the parameters in the case of classical plasma accelerators operating in the electron current transfer can be avoided by switching to the ion current transfer. It was made achievable by an especially designed electrode system shielded by the magnetic field, and therefore protected of the erosion as a main reason for energy losses leading to the current crisis. Due to the electrode transparency in two stage quasistationary plasma accelerator there is no limit in the maximal current value depending only on the condenser bank input energy used in the experiment. Consequently, the compression plasma flow velocity, electron density and temperature depend only on the energy transfer efficiency from supply source to plasma. It has been concluded that the efficiency is maximal when operating in the hydrogen in comparison with other working gases (argon, nitrogen etc.). It was found that, for an imput energy of 6.4 kJ the maximal values of plasma flow velocity and electron density are of the order of ~100 km/s and ~1017cm-3, respectively. These accelerating systems are of special interest for development of new plasma technologies such as plasma solid surface modification and obtaining new materials including nano sized ones. Finally, these accelerators can be used for construction of plasma injectors to fusion devices.
