THE INFLUENCE OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD UPON ION DIFFUSION IN A STATIONARY HELIUM PLASMA (in Russian)

OSTI ID:4146397
BS>The effects of a magnetic field on ion losses from the stationary positive column in He at 0.034 to 1.1 mm mercury pressure, 0.03 to 1 amp current, with electron and ion concentrations of 10/sup 8/ to 10/sup 10/ cm/sup -3/ and magnetic fields up to 2600 gauss were measured by a probe method. The measurements indicate that with magnetic field magnitudes as a function of gas pressure and current, carrier losses to the walls vary inversely with the magnetic field. The diffusion coefficient decreases with the increase of B according to the Townsend law. The diffusion of ions is ambipolar in character. (R.V.J.)
