Abstract
A kinetic theory of collisionless electron heating is developed for in ductively coupled discharges with a finite length L. The novel effect associated with the finite-length system is the resonance between the bounce motion of the electrons and the wave frequency, leading to enha nced heating. The theory is in agreement with results of electromagnet ic particle simulations. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
