  • Acoustic manipulation of plasma for arbitrary plasma metamaterial formation
    Patent number: 10211029
    Abstract: A method for producing a steady-state three dimensional shape in a plasma includes filling a space with a gas, ionizing the gas with a radio frequency source to form a plasma, and directing acoustic waves into the plasma from a plurality of acoustic sources. The acoustic waves from each of the plurality of acoustic sources interact to create standing wave pattern forming a three dimensional shape in the plasma.
