Plasma-Wall Interaction Model for Erosion of Materials Under Ion Bombardment
Understanding the evolution and behavior of materials exposed to plasma is critical for the design of future electric propulsion devices. As ions are ejected from the device generating thrust, they also impact the ceramic walls. This induces wall erosion, ultimately exposing the magnetic circuit, le...
