Control of Chaotic States in DP Machine Plasma by Using External Circuit Elements

Abstract

We present a simple, effective and low-cost experimental method to control chaos in a DP-machine plasma. By using a capacitor, we can substitute the low-frequency chaos (uncorrelated oscillations), which appears in the S-type negative differential resistance region of the static I-V characteristic, by a nonlinear oscillation, the frequency of which is controlled by the external capacitance.
