Collisionless electron heating in inductively coupled discharges

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/468591· OSTI ID:468591
A kinetic theory of collisionless electron heating is developed for inductively coupled discharges with a finite height L. The novel effect associated with the finite-length system is the resonance between the bounce motion of the electrons and the wave frequency, leading to enhanced heating. The theory is in agreement with results of particle simulations.
