Biased electrodes are common components of plasma sources and diagnostics. The plasma–
electrode interaction is mediated by an intervening sheath structure that influences …

This paper describes the verification and validation (V&V) framework developed for the
stochastic Particle-in-Cell, Direct Simulation Monte Carlo code Aleph. An ideal framework for …

Abstract Objects in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) experience a range of environmental conditions
that influence their trajectories. Aside from gravitational effects and solar radiation pressure …

Laser Thomson scattering (LTS) is a minimally invasive measurement technique used for
determining electron properties in plasma systems. Sheath model closure validation …

Three approaches to describing the separation of charges in near-cathode regions of high-
pressure arc discharges are compared. The first approach employs a single set of …

The anisotropic nature of plasma etching is usually exploited to realize vertical nano-/micro-
silicon structures by deep reactive ion etching. However, some applications require tilted …

In the analysis of nonlinear waves in plasma, especially for the search for periodic waves,
shock waves, and solitons, mechanical analogy methods are widely applicable. The most …

A kinetic description for electronic excitation of helium for principal quantum number n 4 has
been included into a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation utilizing direct simulation Monte Carlo …

We present high-order accuracy simulations of the plasma-sheath transition with an ion–
electron multi-fluid model that considers the electron inertial terms and the ion pressure …
