Rarefied xenon flow in orificed hollow cathodes
Pierre-Yves C. R. Taunay, Willca Villafana, Sangeeta P. Vinoth +2
A parametric study is conducted to quantify the effect of the keeper electrode geometry on the neutral flow quantities within orificed hollow cathodes, prior to cathode ignition. T…
Improved algorithm for a two-dimensional Darwin particle-in-cell code
Dmytro Sydorenko, Igor D. Kaganovich, Alexander V. Khrabrov +3
A two-dimensional particle-in-cell code for simulation of low-frequency electromagnetic processes in laboratory plasmas has been developed. The code uses the Darwin method omitting…
Investigating Instabilities in Magnetized Low-pressure Capacitively-Coupled RF Plasma using Particle-in-Cell (PIC) Simulations
Sathya Ganta, Kallol Bera, Shahid Rauf +5
The effect of a uniform magnetic field on particle transport in low-pressure radio frequency (RF) capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) has been studied using a particle-in-cell (PIC)…
Establishing Criteria for the Transition from Kinetic to Fluid Modeling in Hollow Cathode Analysis
Willca Villafana, Andrew T. Powis, Sarveshwar Sharma +2
In this study, we conduct 2D3V Particle-In-Cell simulations of hollow cathodes, encompassing both the channel and plume region, with an emphasis on plasma switch applications. The…
