Abstract

Temporal and spatial evolutions of plasma potential formation are experimentally investigated in an ECR plasma terminated by biased segmented endplates under a mirror configuration of magnetic field. The time scale of the potential formation is determined by ion transport perpendicular to the magnetic field. Nonaxisymmetric potential profiles formed by the biased segmented endplates are also observed to depend on the cross-field ion motion.
