Thermal conductivity of superconducting tin films in a magnetic field
… films we were able to observe the surface. sheath region of de Gennes and Saint James. We have derived an expression for the field dependence of the thermal conductivity in this region, based upon theoretical calculations of Caroli and Cyrot and of Maki; this expression, which is strictly …

Radiation of VLF/ELF waves from a magnetospheric tether
… to humans and spacecraft operating in those regions, as well as an obstacle to exploration and development of space technologies. The "Radiation Belt Remediation" (RBR) concept has been proposed as a way to try to solve this problem through VLF/ELF transmissions in the ionosphere, which will …

Impact of ion-neutral collisions in fluid models of plasma sheath
… of argon plasmas in DC discharges, including the sheath regions, is presented. Comparison of the charged species density, electron mean energy, plasma potential and ion velocity profiles with the profiles obtained by other fluid models and the profiles obtained with 1D3V (one dimension in space …

Improved performance of the hPIC particle-in-cell code by incorporating a new non-uniform implicit mesh based on the PUMI infrastructure
… Especially in the magnetic and electrostatic sheaths forming in front of the material surfaces. The hPIC Particle In Cell code developed previously at UIUC has been modified to incorporate a new implicit, parameterized, non-uniform mesh using the Parallel Unstructured Mesh Infrastructure …

Dynamics of an Electrodynamic Tether System in a Varying Space-Plasma Environment
… a stable bow-shock structure to form in the ram region of the satellite, which limits the number of electrons entering the sheath region and thus limiting the current collected. Electron-neutral collisions are found to destabilize the bow-shock structure and remove its current limiting effects. …
