At the vicinity of the cutoff, the wave is converted into a Bernstein wave, which is very well absorbed in the plasma without further density cutoff. Therefore, these waves are a promising tool to heat high-density plasmas. The conversion process has been investigated in great detail using a full-wave code, and for the first time, the time-dependent formation of the Bernstein waves has been visualized by using the data obtained with this simulation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPlasmaaufheizung , Plasma , Mikrowellenplasma , Fusionsplasma , Finite-Differenzen-Methode530Electromagnetic heating , electromagnetic propagation in plasma media , FDTD methods , plasma heating , plasma wavesarticle
