Effect of magnetized secondary electron on the characteristics of sheath in Hall thruster
Abstract
In order to investigate the effects of the inner wall secondary electron emission on the performance of Hall thruster, a hydrodynamic model is used to study the characteristics of plasma sheath considering secondary electron magnetization. The Bohm criterion of the magnetized plasma sheath is obtained. The structures of plasma sheath in Hall thruster with different magnetic field magnitudes and directions, different secondary electron emission …
