ohmic plasma heating
1plasma — plasmatic /plaz mat ik/, plasmic, adj. /plaz meuh/, n. 1. Anat., Physiol. the liquid part of blood or lymph, as distinguished from the suspended elements. 2. Cell Biol. cytoplasm. 3. whey. 4. a green, faintly translucent chalcedony. 5. Physics. a …
2Plasma diagnostics — are experimental techniques used to measure properties of a plasma such as temperature and density. Langmuir probe Measurements with electric probes, called Langmuir probes, are the oldest and most often used procedures for low temperature… …
3Ohmic contact — An ohmic contact is a region on a semiconductor device that has been prepared so that the current voltage (I V) curve of the device is linear and symmetric. If the I V characteristic is non linear and asymmetric, the contact is not ohmic, but is… …
4Tokamak — A tokamak is a machine producing a toroidal magnetic field for confining a plasma. It is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices, and it is one of the most researched candidates for producing controlled thermonuclear fusion power.… …
5ASDEX Upgrade — The ASDEX Upgrade divertor tokamak (Axially Symmetric Divertor EXperiment) went into operation at the Max Planck Institut für Plasmaphysik, Garching in 1991. At present, it is Germany s largest fusion device. Overview To make experiments under… …
6ITER — is an international tokamak (magnetic confinement fusion) research/engineering proposal for an experimental project that will help to make the transition from today s studies of plasma physics to future electricity producing fusion power plants.… …
7nuclear fusion — fusion (def. 4). [1895 1900] * * * Process by which nuclear reactions between light elements form heavier ones, releasing huge amounts of energy. In 1939 Hans Bethe suggested that the energy output of the sun and other stars is a result of fusion …
8Nanoflares — A nanoflare is a very small solar flare which happens in the corona, the external atmosphere of the Sun. The hypothesis of microflares as a possible explanation of the coronal heating was first suggested by Gold [1] and then later developed by… …
9Magnetosphere — A magnetosphere is formed when a stream of charged particles, such as the solar wind, interacts with and is deflected by the intrinsic magnetic field of a planet or similar body. Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere, as are the other planets… …
10Electric Tokamak — The UCLA Electric Tokamak is a low field (0.25 T) magnetic fusion device with a large aspect ratio. Four sets of independent coils are necessary for OH (ohmic heating) current drive, vertical equilibrium field, plasma elongation and plasma… …
