Experiment, Modeling, and Simulation of Advanced Materials Plasma Interactions in the Space Environment
Abstract
The objective is to develop and validate models predicting xenon plasma plumes effect on the satellite surfaces through the sputter, transport, and redistribution of material and charge. Experiments will be used the latest in material surface characterization techniques to assess composition and microstructure of plasma exposed backflux region surfaces. This proposal will investigate Surface features, such as roughness, composition, and microstructure, play an important role in the plasma surface interaction, including sputtering, secondary electron emission, and surface charging.
