This contribution presents a short review of electric propulsion (EP) technologies for
satellites and spacecraft. Electric thrusters, also termed ion or plasma thrusters, deliver a low …

The Hall thruster is a high-efficiency spacecraft propulsion device that utilizes plasma to
generate thrust. The most common variant of the Hall thruster is the stationary plasma …

An important unresolved question in plasma physics concerns the effect of strong electron
emission on plasma-surface interactions. Previous papers reported solutions with negative …

Solids facing a plasma are a common situation in many astrophysical systems and

The effects of secondary electron emission on plasma sheath characteristics and electron
transport in an discharge via kinetic simulations - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science …

Sheaths are formed around the surfaces of airless bodies, which both collect and emit
electrons. Depending on the ratio of the emitted to collected electron fluxes Γ, the sheath …

Sustainability and environmental concerns have persuaded researchers to explore
renewable materials, such as nature-derived polysaccharides, and add value by changing …

Two floating sheath solutions with strong electron emission in planar geometry have been
proposed, a “space-charge limited”(SCL) sheath and an “inverse” sheath. SCL and inverse …

We present calculations of secondary electron emission (SEE) yields in tungsten as a
function of primary electron energies between 100 eV and 1 keV and incidence angles …

The paper presents the results of experimental research and numerical simulation,
demonstrating a considerable influence of secondary electrons on parameters of the beam …
