අර්ථ දැක්වීම

Although a plasma is loosely described as an electrically neutral medium of positive and negative particles, a definition can have three criteria:

The plasma approximation: Charged particles must be close enough together that each particle influences many nearby charged particles, rather than just interacting with the closest particle (these collective effects are a distinguishing feature of a plasma). The plasma approximation is valid when the number of charge carriers within the sphere of influence (called the Debye sphere whose radius is the ) of a particular particle are higher than unity to provide collective behavior of the charged particles. The average number of particles in the Debye sphere is given by the , "Λ" (the letter ).
Bulk interactions: The Debye screening length (defined above) is short compared to the physical size of the plasma. This criterion means that interactions in the bulk of the plasma are more important than those at its edges, where boundary effects may take place. When this criterion is satisfied, the plasma is quasineutral.
Plasma frequency: The electron plasma frequency (measuring of the electrons) is large compared to the electron-neutral collision frequency (measuring frequency of collisions between electrons and neutral particles). When this condition is valid, electrostatic interactions dominate over the processes of ordinary gas kinetics.

Ranges of plasma parameters

Plasma parameters can take on values varying by many , but the properties of plasmas with apparently disparate parameters may be very similar (see ). The following chart considers only conventional atomic plasmas and not exotic phenomena like :

**Range of plasmas**. Density increases upwards, temperature increases towards the right. The free electrons in a metal may be considered an electron plasma

	Typical ranges of plasma parameters: orders of magnitude (OOM)
Characteristic	Terrestrial plasmas	Cosmic plasmas
Size in metres	10⁻⁶ m (lab plasmas) to 10² m (lightning) (~8 )	10⁻⁶ m (spacecraft sheath) to 10²⁵ m (intergalactic nebula) (~31 OOM)
Lifetime in seconds	10⁻¹² s (laser-produced plasma) to 10⁷ s (fluorescent lights) (~19 OOM)	10¹ s (solar flares) to 10¹⁷ s (intergalactic plasma) (~17 OOM)
Density in particles per cubic metre	10⁷ m^-3 to 10³² m^-3 (inertial confinement plasma)	10⁰ (i.e., 1) m^-3 (intergalactic medium) to 10³⁰ m^-3 (stellar core)
Temperature in kelvins	~0 K (crystalline non-neutral plasma) to 10⁸ K (magnetic fusion plasma)	10² K (aurora) to 10⁷ K (solar core)
Magnetic fields in teslas	10⁻⁴ T (lab plasma) to 10³ T (pulsed-power plasma)	10⁻¹² T (intergalactic medium) to 10¹¹ T (near neutron stars)

Degree of ionization

For plasma to exist, is necessary. The term "plasma density" by itself usually refers to the "electron density", that is, the number of free electrons per unit volume. The of a plasma is the proportion of atoms which have lost (or gained) electrons, and is controlled mostly by the temperature. Even a partially ionized gas in which as little as 1% of the particles are ionized can have the characteristics of a plasma (i.e. respond to magnetic fields and be highly electrically conductive). The degree of ionization, α is defined as α = n_i/(n_i + n_a) where n_i is the number density of ions and n_a is the number density of neutral atoms. The electron density is related to this by the average charge state <Z> of the ions through n_e=<Z> n_i where n_e is the number density of electrons.

Potentials

is an example of plasma present at Earth's surface. Typically, lightning discharges 30,000 amperes, at up to 100 million volts, and emits light, radio waves, x-rays and even gamma rays. Plasma temperatures in lightning can approach ~28,000 Kelvin (~27,700°C) and electron densities may exceed 10²⁴/m³.

Since plasmas are very good conductors, electric potentials play an important role. The potential as it exists on average in the space between charged particles, independent of the question of how it can be measured, is called the "plasma potential" or the "space potential". If an electrode is inserted into a plasma, its potential will generally lie considerably below the plasma potential due to what is termed a . The good electrical conductivity of plasmas causes their electric fields to be very small. This results in the important concept of "quasineutrality", which says the density of negative charges is approximately equal to the density of positive charges over large volumes of the plasma ( $n_{e}=\langle Z\rangle n_{i}$ ), but on the scale of the Debye length there can be charge imbalance. In the special case that are formed, the charge separation can extend some tens of Debye lengths.

The magnitude of the potentials and electric fields must be determined by means other than simply finding the net . A common example is to assume that the electrons satisfy the "":

n_{e}\propto e^{e\Phi /k_{B}T_{e}}

.

Differentiating this relation provides a means to calculate the electric field from the density:

{\vec {E}}=(k_{B}T_{e}/e)(\nabla n_{e}/n_{e})

.

It is possible to produce a plasma which is not quasineutral. An electron beam, for example, has only negative charges. The density of a non-neutral plasma must generally be very low, or it must be very small, otherwise it will be dissipated by the repulsive .

In plasmas, prevents from directly affecting the plasma over large distances (ie. greater than the ). But the existence of charged particles causes the plasma to generate and be affected by . This can and does cause extremely complex behavior, such as the generation of plasma double layers, an object which separates charge over a few tens of . The dynamics of plasmas interacting with external and self-generated are studied in the of .

චුම්භකනය

A plasma in which the magnetic field is strong enough to influence the motion of the charged particles is said to be magnetized. A common quantitative criterion is that a particle on average completes at least one gyration around the magnetic field before making a collision (ie. $\omega _{ce}/\nu _{coll}>1$ where $\omega _{ce}$ is the "electron gyrofrequency" and $\nu _{coll}$ is the "electron collision rate"). It is often the case that the electrons are magnetized while the ions are not. Magnetized plasmas are , meaning that their properties in the direction parallel to the magnetic field are different from those perpendicular to it. While electric fields in plasmas are usually small due to the high conductivity, the electric field associated with a plasma moving in a magnetic field is given by E = -v x B (where E is the electric field, v is the velocity, and B is the magnetic field), and is not affected by .

Comparison of plasma and gas phases

Plasma is often called the fourth state of matter. It is distinct from other lower-energy ; most commonly , liquid, and gas, although it is closely related to the gas phase in that it also has no definite form or volume. Physicists consider a plasma to be more than a gas^[] because of a number of distinct properties including the following:

Property	Gas	Plasma
	Very low Air is an excellent insulator until it breaks down into plasma at electric field strengths above 30 kilovolts per centimeter.	Usually very high For many purposes the of a plasma may be treated as infinite.
Independently acting species	One All gas particles behave in a similar way, influenced by gravity, and with one another	Two or three , , and neutrals can be distinguished by the sign of their so that they behave independently in many circumstances, with different bulk velocities and temperatures, allowing phenomena such as new types of and
Velocity distribution	Collisions usually lead to a Maxwellian velocity distribution of all gas particles, with very few relatively fast particles.	Often non-Maxwellian Collisional interactions are often weak in hot plasmas, and external forcing can drive the plasma far from local equilibrium, and lead to a significant population of unusually fast particles.
Interactions	Binary Two-particle collisions are the rule, three-body collisions extremely rare.	Collective Waves, or organised motion of plasma, are very important because the particles can interact at long ranges through the electric and magnetic forces.

Complex plasma phenomena

Although the underlying equations governing plasmas are relatively simple, plasma behaviour is extraordinarily varied and subtle: the emergence of unexpected behaviour from a simple model is a typical feature of a . Such systems lie in some sense on the boundary between ordered and disordered behaviour, and cannot typically be described either by simple, smooth, mathematical functions, or by pure randomness. The spontaneous formation of interesting spatial features on a wide range of length scales is one manifestation of plasma complexity. The features are interesting, for example, because they are very sharp, spatially intermittent (the distance between features is much larger than the features themselves), or have a form. Many of these features were first studied in the laboratory, and have subsequently been recognised throughout the universe. Examples of complexity and complex structures in plasmas include:

Filamentation

Striations or string-like structures are seen in many plasmas, like the plasma ball (image above), the ,,, , and . They are sometimes associated with larger current densities, and the interaction with the magnetic field can form a magnetic rope structure. (See also )

Shocks or double layers

Plasma properties change rapidly (within a few Debye lengths) across a two-dimensional sheet in the presence of a (moving) shock or (stationary) . Double layers involve localised charge separation, which causes a large potential difference across the layer, but does not generate an electric field outside the layer. Double layers separate adjacent plasma regions with different physical characteristics, and are often found in current carrying plasmas. They accelerate both ions and electrons.

Electric fields and circuits

Quasineutrality of a plasma requires that plasma currents close on themselves in electric circuits. Such circuits follow , and possess a and . These circuits must generally be treated as a strongly coupled system, with the behaviour in each plasma region dependent on the entire circuit. It is this strong coupling between system elements, together with nonlinearity, which may lead to complex behaviour. Electrical circuits in plasmas store inductive (magnetic) energy, and should the circuit be disrupted, for example, by a plasma instability, the inductive energy will be released as plasma heating and acceleration. This is a common explanation for the heating which takes place in the . Electric currents, and in particular, magnetic-field-aligned electric currents (which are sometimes generically referred to as ""), are also observed in the Earth's aurora, and in plasma filaments.

Cellular structure

Narrow sheets with sharp gradients may separate regions with different properties such as magnetization, density, and temperature, resulting in cell-like regions. Examples include the , , and . Hannes Alfvén wrote: "From the cosmological point of view, the most important new space research discovery is probably the cellular structure of space. As has been seen, in every region of space which is accessible to in situ measurements, there are a number of 'cell walls', sheets of electric currents, which divide space into compartments with different magnetization, temperature, density, etc ."

Critical ionization velocity

The is the relative velocity between an (magnetized) ionized plasma and a neutral gas above which a runaway ionization process takes place. The critical ionization process is a quite general mechanism for the conversion of the kinetic energy of a rapidly streaming gas into ionization and plasma thermal energy. Critical phenomena in general are typical of complex systems, and may lead to sharp spatial or temporal features.

Ultracold plasma

It is possible to create ultracold plasmas, by using lasers to trap and cool neutral atoms to temperatures of 1 or lower. Another laser then ionizes the atoms by giving each of the outermost electrons just enough energy to escape the electrical attraction of its parent ion.

The key point about ultracold plasmas is that by manipulating the atoms with lasers, the kinetic energy of the liberated electrons can be controlled. Using standard pulsed lasers, the electron energy can be made to correspond to a temperature of as low as 0.1 K, a limit set by the frequency bandwidth of the laser pulse. The ions, however, retain the millikelvin temperatures of the neutral atoms. This type of non-equilibrium ultracold plasma evolves rapidly, and many fundamental questions about its behaviour remain unanswered. Experiments conducted so far have revealed surprising dynamics and recombination behavior which are pushing the limits of our knowledge of plasma physics.^[] One of the metastable states of strongly nonideal plasma is which forms upon condensation of excited atoms.

ආරෝපිත ප්ලැස්මා

The strength and range of the electric force and the good conductivity of plasmas usually ensure that the density of positive and negative charges in any sizeable region are equal ("quasineutrality"). A plasma which has a significant excess of charge density or which is, in the extreme case, composed of only a single species, is called a non-neutral plasma. In such a plasma, electric fields play a dominant role. Examples are charged , an electron cloud in a , and positron plasmas.

Dusty plasma and grain plasma

A is one containing tiny charged particles of dust (typically found in space) which also behaves like a plasma. A plasma containing larger particles is called a grain plasma.

මූලික ලිපිය:

To completely describe the state of a plasma, we would need to write down all the particle locations and velocities, and describe the electromagnetic field in the plasma region. However, it is generally not practical or necessary to keep track of all the particles in a plasma. Therefore, plasma physicists commonly use less detailed descriptions known as models, of which there are two main types:

ද්‍රව ආකාතිය

Fluid models describe plasmas in terms of smoothed quantities like density and averaged velocity around each position (see ). One simple fluid model, , treats the plasma as a single fluid governed by a combination of and the . A more general description is the two-fluid picture, where the ions and electrons are described separately. Fluid models are often accurate when collisionality is sufficiently high to keep the plasma velocity distribution close to a . Because fluid models usually describe the plasma in terms of a single flow at a certain temperature at each spatial location, they can neither capture velocity space structures like beams or nor resolve wave-particle effects.

ගතික ප්ලැස්මා

Kinetic models describe the particle velocity distribution function at each point in the plasma, and therefore do not need to assume a . A kinetic description is often necessary for collisionless plasmas. There are two common approaches to kinetic description of a plasma. One is based on representing the smoothed distribution function on a grid in velocity and position. The other, known as the (PIC) technique, includes kinetic information by following the trajectories of a large number of individual particles. Kinetic models are generally more computationally intensive than fluid models. The may be used to describe the dynamics of a system of charged particles interacting with an electromagnetic field.

කෘතිම ප්ලැස්මා

Most artificial plasmas are generated by the application of electric and/or magnetic fields. Plasma generated in a laboratory setting and for industrial use can be generally categorized by:

The type of power source used to generate the plasma; DC, RF and microwave.
The pressure at which they operate; vacuum pressure (< 10 mTorr), moderate pressure (~ 1 Torr), and atmospheric pressure (760 Torr).
The degree of ionization within the plasma; fully ionized, partially ionized, weakly ionized.
The temperature relationships within the plasma; Thermal plasma (Te = T_ion = T_gas), Non-Thermal or "cold" plasma (Te >> T_ion = T_gas)
The electrode configuration used to generate the plasma.
The magnetization of the particles within the plasma; Magnetized (both ion and electrons are trapped in by the magnetic field), partially magnetized (the electrons but not the ions are trapped by the magnetic field), non-magnetized (the magnetic field is too weak to trap the particles in orbits but may generate Lorentz forces).
Its application

Examples of industrial/commercial plasma

Low-pressure discharges

plasmas: non-thermal plasmas generated by the application of DC or low frequency RF (<100 kHz) electric field to the gap between two metal electrodes. Probably the most common plasma; this is the type of plasma generated within tubes.
(CCP): similar to glow discharge plasmas, but generated with high frequency RF electric fields, typically 13.56 MHz. These differ from glow discharges in that the sheaths are much less intense. These are widely used in the microfabrication and integrated circuit manufacturing industries for plasma etching and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition.
(ICP): similar to a CCP and with similar applications but the electrode consists of a coil wrapped around the discharge volume which inductively excites the plasma.
: similar to CCP and ICP in that it is typically RF (or microwave), but is heated by both electrostatic and electromagnetic means. Examples are , (ECR), and (ICR). These typically require a coaxial magnetic field for wave propagation.

Atmospheric pressure

: this is a high power thermal discharge of very high temperature ~10,000 K. It can be generated using various power supplies. It is commonly used in processes. For example it is used to melt rocks containing Al₂O₃ to produce aluminium.
: this is a non-thermal discharge generated by the application of high voltage to sharp electrode tips. It is commonly used in generators and particle precipitators.
(DBD): this is a non-thermal discharge generated by the application of high voltages across small gaps wherein a non-conducting coating prevents the transition of the plasma discharge into an arc. It is often mislabeled 'Corona' discharge in industry and has similar application to corona discharges. It is also widely used in the web treatment of fabrics. The application of the discharge to synthetic fabrics and plastics functionalizes the surface and allows for paints, glues and similar materials to adhere.
