Interaction of Electromagnetic Fields with Magnetized Plasmas

Abstract : This Final Scientific Report describes research at the UTK Plasma Science Laboratory which was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, contract AFOSR 89-0319, with Dr. Robert J. Barker, Program Manager. Eight archival scientific papers were published, 19 oral or poster conference papers were presented at the annual APS and IEEE plasma meetings and one patent was obtained and two additional patents were filed for. This contract also supported three graduate theses, including partial support for one Ph.D. dissertation, and two Master of Science in Electrical Engineering theses. This contract additionally supported approximately eight person-years of half time GRA research and training, and the preparation of nine routine reports to the Air Force. This contract also supported Professor Shenggang Liu, UTK's first Visiting Distinguished Professor, for a period of one year.
