Experimental observation of enhanced electron cyclotron resonance heating and nonlocal electron kinetics induced by Ramsauer-Townsend effect in ultralow electron temperature plasmas.

The effect of the Ramsauer-Townsend effect, a quantum mechanical phenomenon, is investigated by generating an ultralow electron temperature plasma (T_{e}<1 eV) in a weakly magnetized inductively coupled argon plasma using a dc-biased grid. In the ult…
