Perspectives on Physics of ExB Discharges Relevant to Plasma Propulsion and Similar Technologies
Igor D. Kaganovich, Andrei Smolyakov, Yevgeny Raitses +22
This paper provides perspectives on recent progress in the understanding of the physics of devices where the external magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the discharge cur…
Rotating spoke instabilities in a wall-less Hall thruster: Simulations
K. Matyash, R. Schneider, S. Mazouffre +2
The low-frequency rotating plasma instability (spoke) in the ISCT200 thruster operating in the wall-less configuration was simulated with a 3 dimensional PIC MCC code. In the simul…
Numerical investigations of a cylindrical Hall thruster
K. Matyash, R. Schneider, O. Kalentev +2
A new 3 dimensional Particle-in-Cell code was applied to simulate the operation of a 100 W CHT thruster. In the simulation a spoke moving with a velocity of about 0.8 cm/μs was obs…
Adaptive Particle in Cell: Balanced Discretization and weighted Shape functions
Juergen Geiser, Julia Duras, Ralf Schneider +3
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to rewritting and skipping crucial sign errors.
Self consistent kinetic simulations of SPT and HEMP thrusters including the near-field plume region
K. Matyash, R. Schneider, A. Mutzke +4
The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method was used to study two different ion thruster concepts - Stationary Plasma Thrusters (SPT) and High Efficiency Multistage Plasma Thrusters (HEMP-T)…
Comparative study of semiclassical approaches to quantum dynamics
G. Schubert, V. S. Filinov, K. Matyash +2
Quantum states can be described equivalently by density matrices, Wigner functions or quantum tomograms. We analyze the accuracy and performance of three related semiclassical appr…
