Dielectric function of a partially ionized plasma in parallel electric and magnetic fields — •Hanno Kählert, Patrick Ludwig, and Michael Bonitz — ITAP, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel

The longitudinal dielectric function of a plasma is an important quantity that determines, e.g., its eigenmodes or how efficiently it shields the potential of an embedded dust particle. Here, we compute the dielectric function for a plasma that is subject to parallel electric and magnetic fields. This situation is common for the sheath region in rf discharges, where the electric field gives rise to a finite ion flow velocity. Strong magnetic fields have now become available in several experiments [1], which is why a theoretical understanding of their effect on the plasma dynamics is highly desirable. Our derivation of the dielectric function is based on a kinetic approach, where ion-neutral collisions are treated with a BGK collision term [2]. Possible applications are discussed.This work is supported by the DFG via SFB-TR24, projects A7 and A9.
