Book excerpt: The efficiency of modern Hall thrusters is impacted by the ability to maintain a high ratio of the ion to electron current density, J(sub i)/J(sub e), at the exit of the acceleration channel. In principal, there is no limit to this ratio, since the electrons that are necessary to maintain the current balance at the anode can be generated within the ionization zone upstream of the channel exit. However, in practice, this metric of performance in a typical Hall thruster can range from 1 - 10. This is in part due to the loss of electrons and ions through recombination reactions on the channel wall, and also due to the anomalous migration of electrons from the exit plane through the region of strong magnetic fields. It is believed that this poor confinement of electrons is in part due to turbulent fluctuations in plasma properties, which give rise Bohm-like electron transport in a direction orthogonal to the applied magnetic field. The Stanford Research was aimed at understanding this transport, and any affects that wall scattering may have on also enhancing electron current flow within the discharge channel. The broader long-term objective is to develop passive and/or active control strategies to enhance or suppress electron flow in regions of the channel where such actuation is desirable. Feedback-controlled actuation methods to reduce plasma fluctuations where only marginally successful back in the mid 70's in early versions of Hall thrusters 1,2. Using modern diagnostic and characterization strategies to obtain an improved understanding of the role that fluctuations and wall scattering plays in electron transport, it is anticipated that we can design more effective control and actuation strategies.

Book Measurements of Plasma Potential Distribution in Segmented Electrode Hall Thruster

Download or read book Measurements of Plasma Potential Distribution in Segmented Electrode Hall Thruster written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of a segmented electrode placed at the Hall thruster exit can substantially reduce the voltage potential drop in the fringing magnetic field outside the thruster channel. In this paper, we investigate the dependence of this effect on thruster operating conditions and segmented electrode configuration. A fast movable emissive probe is used to measure plasma potential in a 1 kW laboratory Hall thruster with semented electrodes made of a graphite material. Relatively small probe-induced perturbations of the thruster discharge in the vicinity of the thruster exit allow a reasonable comparison of the measured results for different thruster configurations. It is shown that the plasma potential distribution is almost not sensitive to changes of the electrode potential, but depends on the magnetic field distribution and the electrode placement.
