Plasma control by modification of helicon wave propagation in low magnetic fields
2010
Physics of Plasmas
By making use of nonuniform magnetic fields, it is shown experimentally that control of helicon wave propagation can be achieved in a low pressure ͑0.08 Pa͒ expanding plasma. The m = 1 helicon waves are formed during a direct capacitive to wave mode transition that occurs in a low diverging magnetic field ͑B 0 Ͻ 3 mT͒. In this initial configuration, waves are prevented from reaching the downstream region, but slight modifications to the magnetic field allows the axial distance over which waves
