• Characterization of a magnetized plasma in cylindrical geometry 

      Tribulato, Giulio (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-06)
      Njord is a novel plasma device in which a low-temperature plasma is produced by RF waves inductively coupled into a cylindrical, magnetized vacuum. The main part of this project is to carry out an experimental characterization of the plasma in this device. The plasma expansion and acceleration of the source plasma into the main chamber will be of specific interest. The ultimate aim will then be to ...
    • First results from the Njord device for space related plasma experiments 

      Fredriksen, Åshild; Tribulato, Giulio; Watts, Christopher (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2007-08-05)
      The Njord device at Aurolab, University of Tromsø, has been constructed to carry out experiments on instabilities and heating in plasma flows and beams, with relevance to near-Earth space plasmas. For plasma production, Njord combines a 13.56 MHz RF source with a Double Plasma chamber equipped with filaments along the walls. The source is equipped dwith two coils operated at 0-6A, providing magnetic ...
