Evolution of Ion Wake Characteristics with Experimental Conditions

Rahul Banka, Katrina Vermillion, Lorin Matthews +2

Two-dimensional microparticle crystals can be formed in the sheath of a gas discharge plasma. Ions from the bulk plasma are accelerated in the sheath electric field, flowing past t…

The role of noise in PIC and Vlasov simulations of the Buneman instability

Arash Tavassoli, Oleksandr Chapurin, Marilyn Jimenez +7

The effects of noise in particle-in-cell (PIC) and Vlasov simulations of the Buneman instability in unmagnetized plasmas are studied. It is found that, in the regime of low drift v…
