title: Achieving pure electric confinement of high-charge-state plasmas
abstract: In this Brief Report, a confinement physics analysis presented previously [D. D. Dolliver and C. A. Ordonez, Phys. Rev. E 59, 7121 (1999)] is extended to consider three-dimensional electric confinement instead of one-dimensional electric and two-dimensional magnetic confinement for thermal, high-charge-state ion plasmas in nested-well solenoidal traps. Self-consistent numerical results are presented.
