dc.description.abstractThe magnetic mirror effect is studied in the channel of a Hall thruster. It is shown that gradients in magnetic field affect the presheath structure and electric potential distribution. The length of the radial presheath region decreases in the presence of a magnetic field gradient. The two-dimensional potential shape can be affected by proper choice of the magnetic mirror ratio. In particular, it is possible to obtain a concave shape of the potential profile in the channel even in the case of a primarily radial magnetic field. This, in turn, can be used to efficiently control the ion dynamics in the acceleration region.en_US
