An alternative simulation approach for surface flashover in vacuum using a 1D2V continuum and kinetic model

Guang-Yu Sun, Ru-Hui Lian, Shu Zhang +6

Surface flashover across insulator in vacuum is a destructive plasma discharge which undermines the behaviors of a range of applications in electrical engineering, particle physics…

On the Ohmic-dominant heating mode of capacitively-coupled plasma inverted by boundary electron emission

Shu Zhang, Guang-Yu Sun, Jian Chen +3

Electron emission from the boundary is ubiquitous in capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) and precipitates nonnegligible influences on the discharge properties. Here we present the PI…

On the electron sheath theory and its applications in plasma-surface interaction

Guang-Yu Sun, Zhang Shu, An-Bang Sun +1

The electron sheath is a particular electron-rich sheath with negative net charges where plasma potential is lower than the biased electrode. Here an improved understanding of elec…

Intense boundary emission destroys normal radio-frequency plasma sheath

Guang-Yu Sun, An-Bang Sun, Guan-Jun Zhang

Plasma sheath is the non-neutral space charge region that isolates bulk plasma from boundary. Radio-frequency (RF) sheathes are formed when applying RF voltage to electrodes. Gener…

On the role of secondary electron emission in capacitively coupled radio frequency plasma sheath: a theoretical ground

Guang-Yu Sun, Han-Wei Li, An-Bang Sun +5

We propose a theoretical ground for emissive capacitively coupled radio-frequency plasma sheath under low pressure. The rf sheath is assumed to be collisionless, and oscillates wit…
