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…
Collisionless Adiabatic Afterglow
Alexander V. Khrabrov, Igor D. Kaganovich, Jian Chen +1
We study, by numerical and analytical means, the evolution of a uniform one-dimensional collisionless plasma initiated between plane absorbing walls. The ensuing flow is described…
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…
Convenient Analytical Solution for Vibrational Distribution Function of Molecules Colliding with a Wall
Wei Yang, Alexander V. Khrabrov, Igor D. Kaganovich +1
We study formation of the Vibrational Distribution Function (VDF) in a molecular gas at low pressure, when vibrational levels are excited by electron impact and deactivated in coll…
Benchmarking and validation of global model code for negative hydrogen ion sources
Wei Yang, Sergey N. Averkin, Alexander V. Khrabrov +2
Benchmarking and validation are prerequisite for using simulation codes as predictive tools. In this work, we have developed a Global Model for Negative Hydrogen Ion Source (GMNHIS…
Analytical model of three regimes of cold cathode breakdown in helium
Liang Xu, Alexander V. Khrabrov, Igor D. Kaganovich +1
An analytical model has been developed to map out the low-pressure (left-hand) branch of the Paschen curve at very high voltage when electrons are in the runaway regime and charge…
