- Abstract
A two-dimensional plasma–wave interaction model, which is based on the cold collisional plasma dielectric tensor, is applied to investigate the wave propagation and power depositions under different magnetic configurations in helicon plasmas. The varied magnetic configurations are formed by changing the radius of the magnetic coil. When the magnetic coil was positioned closer to the plasma, the magnetic field within the plasma became stronger and more curved. Consequently, the simulation results show that the wave propagation and power deposition in plasmas follow the curved magnetic field lines. In the axial direction, the periodic distribution of wave fields and power deposition are clearly observed and keep consistency in helicon plasmas due to the eigenmodes of helicon waves. Furthermore, a concave dark area where the wave cannot propagate is observed in the closest magnetic coil case and leads to limited power deposition.
