Inductively Coupled Plasma Driven by Asymmetric Triangular Current Waveform
Shahid Rauf, Tianhong Wang, Jason Kenney +2
Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) are used to investigate the influence of radio-frequency (RF) current waveform and frequency on…
Benchmark for two-dimensional large scale coherent structures in partially magnetized ExB plasmas -- Community collaboration & lessons learned
Andrew T. Powis, Eduardo Ahedo, Alejandro Ãlvarez Laguna +38
Low-temperature plasmas are essential to both fundamental scientific research and critical industrial applications. As in many areas of science, numerical simulations have become a…
Particle-In-Cell Informed Kinetic Modeling of Nonlinear Skin Effects in Low-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasmas
Haomin Sun, Jian Chen, Alexander Khrabrov +4
We perform extensive 2D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) electromagnetic simulations of low pressure Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) discharges with various coil current and driving frequen…
Nonlinear skin effect regime when a radio frequency electromagnetic field penetrates into a background plasma
Haomin Sun, Jian Chen, Alexander Khrabrov +4
Two-dimensional, electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations are employed to study particle kinetics and power deposition in the skin layer when a Radio Frequency (RF) electromagn…
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…
