The axial distribution of the plasma potential, concentration and temperature of electrons in an RF capacitive plasma source with the geometry of an accelerator with a closed electron drift is experimentally investigated in this work. Two cases of the external electrical discharge circuit are considered. In the first case, the electrodes were closed by direct current, in the second, they were opened. It is shown that direct current closure of the electrodes leads to a significant increase in the plasma potential and electron concentration. In a number of cases, local maxima of temperature and plasma density are observed near the electrodes, which can be associated with the occurrence of azimuthal electron drift in crossed electric and magnetic fields.

The formation of nanoparticles from the sputtering of graphite and tungsten cathodes in direct-current discharges is investigated. The successive phases of growth present specificities according to the cathode material. The evolution of the discharge and plasma parameters during the growth phases accounts for the nanoparticle-plasma electrostatic coupling. This evolution also presents strong differences as a function of the cathode material. Features characterising each case are discussed.
