Abstract
The E×B rotation and associated collisional ion heating of noble-gas magnetized plasmas are investigated with high resolution by means of laser-induced fluorescence and electrical probes. Plasma rotation results from a radial potential gradient which can be controlled by biasing of the discharge electrodes. The time and space evolution of the potential, the rotation velocity v, and the ion perpendicular temperature indicate that heating is due to the randomization of v by ionneutral collisions, and leads to temperature increases as high as a factor fo 50 over initial values. © 1986 The American Physical Society.
