- Abstract
A simplified model describing the steady state of a helicon discharge in a low-pressure plasma is considered. The electron Langmuir frequency of the plasma produced by the discharge is shown to be much higher than the electron gyrofrequency. It is found that the gas medium is ionized and the electrons are heated primarily by the extraordinary mode. The calculated electron density depends nonmonotonically on the magnetic field, in agreement with the results of numerous experiments.
