Theory of a Stationary Current-Free Double Layer in a Collisionless Plasma

Theory of a Stationary Current-Free Double Layer in a Collisionless Plasma

Current-free double layers can develop in a collisionless, inertia-controlled plasma with two electron populations, expanding in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The double layer characteristics depend on whether they develop at the nozzle divergent side, convergent side, or throat. The divergent-geom...
