Russian University Proposes Rapid Simulation Method for Plasma Ion Parameters
Researchers from the HSE University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have developed a simple analytical method for calculating the behavior of heavy ions in helium under strong electric fields. The findings have been published in Physica Scripta. Plasma is a gas composed of charged particles such as electrons, negative ions, and positive ions, typically quasi-neutral and highly conductive. In addition to fluorescent lamps and welding arcs, plasma also exists in controlled nuclear fusion devices such as tokamaks. Atmospheric plasma jets can also be used for wound disinfection, work surface cleaning, and improving crop seed performance. In plasma jet research, scientists...
