Research into the influence of a weak external magnetic field (<150 G) on the efficiency of power coupling to plasma and on the structure of axial RF fields in plasma is presented. Power
coupling to the discharge plasma as well as the structure of the axial component of RF magnetic fields are shown to depend on the external magnetic field’s magnitude in a nonmonotous manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
