Abstract

We present two simple, effective and low-cost experimental methods to control chaos in double plasma (DP) machine plasma. By using a capacitor, we can substitute the lowfrequency chaos (uncorrelated oscillations), which appears in the S-type negative differential resistance region of the static current-voltage (I-V ) characteristic, by a nonlinear oscillation, the frequency of which is controlled by the external capacitance. By using an inductance we can suppress all higher harmonics of the natural nonlinear oscillations occurring in the N-type negative differential resistance region of the I -V characteristic, obtaining purely sinusoidal oscillations, the frequency of which is determined by the external inductance.
