A combined electrode system for an ideal axial magnetic field distribution in plasmas
Abstract
A circular ferrite permanent magnet and a coreless magnetic coil are combined to form the intermediate electrode system of NIPPER I (National Institute of Physics Plasma Experimental Rig I), a steady-state plasma device currently under construction at the University of the Philippines. The composed axial magnetic field due to the combination shows an ideal distribution suitable for plasma production and satisfies the requirements of Paschen's law.
