Extractions: Six faculty members are leading interrelated investigations into the optical and electronic properties of nonmetallic solids. The systems under consideration range from fairly simple impurities in ionic crystals to unknown defects in semiconductors and non-crystalline oxides. Specific projects include: Studies of point defects in elemental and compound semiconductors. These include impurities as well as defects produced by irradiation in the 3 MeV Van de Graaff accelerator. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR), deep-level transient capacitance spectroscopy (DLTS), and conventional optical absorption and luminescence spectroscopy are used to unravel their microscopic properties.

The Sun-Earth Connection
An introduction to space plasma physics provided by Auburn University's Space plasma physics Page. Covers the sunearth connection, the sun, solar wind, the magnetospere, and aurorae.
http://www.physics.auburn.edu/~plasma/space/sunearth.html

Extractions: The Sun-Earth Connection The Sun and Earth are intimately connected. Other than the light and heat that we receive from the sun, there are many other things that we also experience in this relationship. First of all, there is more than just empty space beyond Earth's atmosphere; there is an environment of rich, active, electrically charged gases, called plasmas , that the Earth resides in. The origin of these plasmas is the sun, more specifically the solar wind . The most noticeable traces of this plasma environment are the Northern and Southern Lights, or the aurora The activity of the sun is also thought to affect our weather and climate, both long and short term, as solar behavior can last over centuries to mere minutes. Of particular note, the activity of the aurora are closely tied to the activity of dark spots found on the suns surface, called sunspots. In fact, the "Little Ice Age", a period of abnormally low temperatures during the 15th-18th centuries, was also a period when there were very few sunspots. Solar flares are thought to slightly change the density of our atmosphere and may cause blockouts, communications disruptions, and magnetic storms. Solar Physics fusion . Four hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a helium nucleus. About 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium every second, producing 5 million tons of pure energy!

Extractions: Plasma Physics at WVU The plasma physics group studies the fourth state of matter. As many substances are heated from a low temperature, they go through a succession of states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. At high temperatures all matter is in the plasma state. This state is characterized by the fact that the atoms of the material have been broken apart, with at least some of the electrons being freed from their parent atom. Thus, a plasma consists of two populations of electrically charged particles - the liberated negatively charged electrons and the positively charged ions. Although physicists know the laws governing the interaction of electrically charged particles, the collective behavior of the large number of particles in a plasma leads to complex and often surprising physical phenomena. Research in plasma physics requires a thorough understanding of many classical disciplines such as fluid dynamics, statistical mechanics, and electromagnetism. Because plasmas are often in a non-equilibrium state, they can be a highly nonlinear medium. Many of the techniques developed for understanding nonlinear systems resulted from basic plasma research. West Virginia University's experimental plasma research program has concentrated on fundamental problems of plasma behavior that are also relevant to the understanding of processes that occur naturally in space plasmas and in man-made fusion plasmas. The WVU Q-machine produces a low-temperature, medium-density, plasma column (similar in several ways to the plasma in the EarthÕs ionosphere). Another experimental program is investigating the potential of the inductively coupled helicon source as a commercial plasma processing system. The helicon source is also used to generate the plasma in a large space simulation chamber in which experiments on collisionless magnetic reconnection and the effects of the space plasma environment on scientific spacecraft are performed.

Extractions: Accueil Pour nous joindre Présentation Perspectives d'emploi ... Faculté des arts et des sciences - Département de physique One can think of plasmas or ionized gases as being the fourth state of matter when considering that, in order of increasing energy, the first three are solids, liquids and gases. If one can succeed in supplying enough energy to a gas, say with an electric field, this can lead to the ionization of its constituent atoms and molecules. The energy spread of plasmas is very large : it goes from the electrical discharges in fluorescent tubes up to the stars. As a matter of fact, 99% of the universe is in the form of plasma. The specific characteristic of a plasma is a medium composed of charged particles (electrons, positive and negative ions) which can thus be strongly influenced by electric and magnetic fields.

Basic Space Plasma Physics
Basic Space plasma physics. The second part of the book presents a more theoreticalfoundation of plasma physics, starting from kinetic theory.
http://www.mpe.mpg.de/bj/bspp.html

Extractions: Rudolf A. Treumann This textbook deals with the requirements of space physics. The first part starts with a description of the Earth's plasma environment, followed by a derivation of single particle motions in electromagnetic fields, with applications to the Earth's magnetosphere. Then the origin and effects of collisions and conductivities, formation of the ionosphere, magnetospheric convection and dynamics, and solar wind-magnetosphere coupling are discussed. The second part of the book presents a more theoretical foundation of plasma physics, starting from kinetic theory. Introducing moments of the distribution function permits derivation of the fluid equations, followed by an analysis of fluid boundaries, with the Earth's magnetopause and bow shock as examples. Finally, fluid and kinetic theory are applied to derive the relevant wave modes in plasma. A representative selection of the many space plasma instabilities and relevant aspects of nonlinear theory is given in a companion textbook
MPE : Space Plasma Physics
Space plasma physics at MPE. We are studying the plasma physics of theaurora with the help of data from the Freja and FAST missions.
http://www.mpe.mpg.de/www_plas/plasma.html

Extractions: at MPE The solar system is comprised of the Sun, the planets, their atmospheres and plasma environs, the small bodies, e.g., comets, down to dust particles, interstellar matter intruding from outside, and the cosmic radiation. At MPE we mainly investigate the plasma physical phenomena in the solar atmosphere, in the Earth's magnetosphere and its boundaries, in interplanetary space, and at comets. For the Sun we make use of the space observatories SOHO and TRACE as well as of the terrestrial observatories in La Palma, Tenerife, and El Leoncito (Argentina). With the four Cluster spacecraft we are at the advent of a new age in magnetospheric physics; in addition, studies of the magnetosphere still benefit from the data of the AMPTE mission (1984-1986) and, more recently, from Equator-S (1997-1998). We are studying the plasma physics of the aurora with the help of data from the Freja and FAST missions. SOHO, ACE, and SAMPEX are measuring the cosmic radiation and the more energetic ions of the solar wind. Our research on comets is, on the one hand, based on optical measurements at Skinakas observatory, on the other hand on X-ray data obtained with ROSAT. Theoretical studies and numerical simulations supplement these data.
