Wed 14:00–14:50 F1 6/1014, Fri 8:00–9:50 Fs1 6/1017

Prerequisites

Nezbytným předpokladem jsou znalosti ze základních kurzů fyziky: Elektřina a magnetismus, Úvod do fyziky mikrosvěta, Termodynamika a statistická fyzika. Pochopení látky významně ulehčí i znalosti z dalších kurzů fyziky: Úvod do fyziky plazmatu, Teoretická mechanika - hydrodynamika.

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is offered to students of any study field.

Course objectives

This course extends knowledge gained during the course F5170 Introduction to plasma physics and it provides further studying material for students that are interested in plasma physics. The students acquire detailed information about Boltzmann kinetic equation including interactions and macroscopic description of low temperature laboratory plasma and fusion plasma. The emphasize is on the processes in low temperature laboratory plasma such as diffusion, conductivity, propagation of electromagnetic waves and effects in plasma sheath.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course students should be able to: discuss fundamental physical quantities characterizing plasma; recall Boltzmann kinetic equation including collision term; suggest its analytically solution for appropriate assumptions; recall several types of distribution functions and explain to which conditions they apply; write and explain macroscopic transport equations for one type of charged particles; use appropriate simplification of these equations suitable for laboratory low pressure discharges; recall magnetohydrodynamic equations for fusion plasma and explain simplifying assumptions; describe principles of electromagnetic wave propagations in laboratory plasma; describe diffusion and transport processes in low temperature plasma; explain processes in plasma sheath; explain assumptions and results of a simple model of high frequency capacitive discharge.

Syllabus

• The course if divided into eight chapters:
• 1. Repetition of basic terms, summary of different types of plasma including gaseous electrical discharges, summary of collision processes in plasma
• 2. Kinetic theory of plasma, equilibrium state, collisional Boltzmann kinetic equation and its analytical solution for elastic collisions of electrons with neutrals, several types of distribution functions
• 3. Macroscopic equations governing low temperature plasma of electrical discharges
• 4. Magnetohydrodynamic equations governing fusion plasma
• 5. Dynamics of low temperature plasma, dielectric constant and conductivity, wave dynamics
• 6. Diffusion and transport properties of low temperature plasma
• 7. DC plasma sheath
• 8. Simple model of high frequency capacitive discharge

Teaching methods

The course is composed of the lectures explaining the theory of all the topics and the theoretical exercise. During the lectures, the students are questioned about their knowledge of basic terms, provoked to discuss and self-study the selected subjects. In the theoretical exercise, the student repeat and extend knowledge of mathematical apparatus related to the plasma physics by independent solutions of given problems. Due to epidemiological measures in the fall semester of 2020, the lectures and exercised will be held on-line except beforehand announced exceptions.

Assessment methods

The course is finished by the exam (optionally by the colloquium) composed of written test and oral examination. In the written test, the students will demonstrate basic knowledge of the topics covered by the course and skills to solve theoretical problems. In the oral part, they have to show a deeper understanding of selected topics. For the admission to the exam or the colloquium, it is necessary to pass the ROPOTs at https://is.muni.cz that test the basic knowledge of the subject and demonstrate the solution of assigned excercises.

Prerequisites

F2050 Elektřina a magnetismus nebo F2070 Elektřina a magnetismus pro učitele, (1. ročník jaro) a F4120 Teoretická mechanika, (2. ročník podzim) a F4100 Úvod do fyziky mikrosvěta nebo F4050 Úvod do fyziky mikrosvěta pro učitele, (2. ročník jaro) a F4090 Elektrodynamika a teorie relativity, (2. ročník jaro) F5170 Úvod do fyziky plazmatu (3. ročník podzim)

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is offered to students of any study field.

Course objectives

This course extends knowledge gained during the course F5170 Introduction to plasma physics and it provides further studying material for students that are interested in plasma physics. The students finishing the course acquire detailed information about Boltzmann kinetic equation including interactions and will understand differences in the description of fusion and low temperature plasmas. At the end of the course students should be able to: recall in details Boltzmann kinetic equation and suggest its analytically solution for appropriate assumptions; recall several types of distribution functions and explain to which conditions they apply; compose macroscopic transport equations for fusion plasma and explain what simplifying assumption should be made; describe dynamics of low temperature plasma of electrical discharges; describe diffusion and transport processes in low temperature plasma and explain processes in plasma sheath.

Syllabus

• 1. Repetition of basic equations 2. Kinetic theory of plasma, equilibrium state, collisional Boltzmann kinetic equation and its analytical solution for elastic collisions of electrons with neutrals, several types of distribution functions 3. Macroscopic equations governing low temperature plasma of electrical discharges 4. DYnamics of low temperature plasma, dielectric constant and conductivity, wave dynamics 5. Diffusion and transport properties of low temperature plasma 6. Plasma sheath 7. Magnetohydrodynamic equations governing fusion plasma
