Nonlinear Electrodynamics of Chaos in Plasmas

9311456 Bers这项工作是基于以前的NSF拨款ECS-8822475概述了旨在扩展和发展等离子体和类等离子体介质中非线性混沌电动力学的知识和技术基础的分析和计算研究。特别是，概述的工作指出了新的基本波相互作用。这些具有潜在的重要应用：前者在使用磁化等离子体rf处理材料表面的系统中控制带电粒子动力学，以及在磁层通电中的离子加速的理解；后者在建立相干（窄带）不稳定波的新粒子输运场景以及确定光通信系统中长距离比特率的限制和控制方面发挥了重要作用。＊＊＊

9311456 Bers This work, which is bases on previous NSF grant ECS-8822475 outlines analytical and computational research that aims at expanding and developing the knowledge and technology base of nonlinear chaotic electrodynamics in plasmas-and plasma-like media. In particular, the outlined work points to new, fundamental wave interactions. These have potentially important applications: the former in the control of charged particle dynamics in systems using magnetized plasma RF-processing material surfaces, and in the understanding of ion acceleration in the energization of the magnetosphere; and the latter in establishing a new particle transport scenario for coherent (narrow-band) unstable waves, as well as determining the limits and control of long-distance bit-rates in optical communications systems. ***
