✦ Synopsis

Microwave heating can be used to promote heterogeneous reactions with carbon materials, mainly because of the heating mechanism involved in microwave radiation and the phenomenon known as microplasmas. This work presents photographic evidence of plasma formation when different carbon materials are subjected to microwave heating. Two different kinds of plasmas were observed: ball lightning and arc discharge plasmas. The intensity of the plasmas in the less ordered carbon was significantly higher at the beginning of the process.

The plasma boundary in front of and outside the JET ICRF antenna Faraday screen has been studied using Langmuir probes. Plasma densities of ns -10'5-10'6 rns3 and electron temperatures T, -20-80 eV have been measured at the Faraday screen. Both ns and T, scale almost linearly with total input power
