Analysis of electron energy distribution function in a magnetically filtered complex plasma

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/4/045201

Abstract The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) for a magnetically filtered dusty plasma is studied in a dusty double plasma device where the electron energy can be varied from 0.15 eV to ～ 2.8 eV and plasma density from 10⁶ cm^-3 to 10⁹ cm^-3. The characteristics of EEDF for these ranges of plasma parameters are investigated in a pristine plasma as well as in a dusty plasma. The results show that in the presence of dust, there is a drastic modification in EEDF patterns in a plasma with higher electron temperature and density than those in a low temperature and low density plasma produced by the magnetic filter.

Keywords: dusty plasma magnetic filter electron energy distribution function
