Plasma recombination
open-in-new
<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> <p>An everyday example of rapid plasma recombination occurs when a fluorescent lamp is switched off. The low-density plasma in the lamp (which generates the light by bombardment of the fluorescent coating on the inside of the glass wall) recombines in a fraction of a second after the plasma-generating electric field is removed by switching off the electric power source. </p><p>Hydrogen recombination modes are of vital importance in the development of <a href="/facts/Divertor/P2xcFypT">divertor</a> regions for <a href="/facts/Tokamak/kDtb8Bsw">tokamak</a> reactors. In fact they will provide a good way for extracting the energy produced in the core of the plasma. At the present time, it is believed that the most likely plasma losses observed in the recombining region are due to two different modes: electron ion recombination (EIR) and molecular activated recombination (MAR). </p> <h2 id="table">Table</h2> <a href="/facts/Phase_transition/eLP2BY8R">Phase transitions</a> of matter (<ul><li>v</li><li>t</li><li>e</li></ul>)<table><tbody><tr><th>ToFrom</th><th><a href="/facts/Solid/hj5UsXno">Solid</a></th><th><a href="/facts/Liquid/t9GkLWzt">Liquid</a></th><th><a href="/facts/Gas/hVVAoodV">Gas</a></th><th><a href="/facts/Plasma_(physics)/1d3btMVU">Plasma</a></th></tr><tr><th>Solid</th><td></td><td><a href="/facts/Melting/zhhDBo5V">Melting</a></td><td><a href="/facts/Sublimation_(phase_transition)/KDoKokMn">Sublimation</a></td><td></td></tr><tr><th>Liquid</th><td><a href="/facts/Freezing/0kNr25SF">Freezing</a></td><td></td><td><a href="/facts/Vaporization/0Uxpy1WQ">Vaporization</a></td><td></td></tr><tr><th>Gas</th><td><a href="/facts/Deposition_(phase_transition)/JweT4Eqs">Deposition</a></td><td><a href="/facts/Condensation/yvmkI08A">Condensation</a></td><td></td><td><a href="/facts/Ionization/W13Ceavd">Ionization</a></td></tr><tr><th>Plasma</th><td></td><td></td><td>Recombination</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"Learn the Phase Changes of Matter".
