Abstract

AbstractThe dynamics of the ion flux expelled by a 0.5 kW-class Hall thruster supplied with krypton was examined in a wide range of discharge voltages. A homemade Faraday probe installed onto a rotary arm was used for reconstructing angular profiles of the plasma plume 0.5 m downstream of the thruster exit plane. The time dependence of the ion current was measured along the thruster axis. For investigating the signal dynamics, a Fourier approach as well as methods of nonlinear time series analysis like bifurcation diagrams and recurrence plot techniques were applied, which are of interest for chaotic behavior identification. Along with the well-known breathing mode (10—30 kHz), other characteristic groups of oscillations were also detected. The bifurcation diagram revealed a drastic transition between large and small amplitude oscillating regimes while varying the discharge voltage from 550 to 700 V. In parallel to this transition, recurrent plots display a qualitative change from a periodic (or quasi periodic) oscillating regime to much less predictable dynamics.
