In this paper we propose a representative simulation test-case of E× B discharges
accounting for plasma wall interactions with the presence of both the electron cyclotron drift …

In a Hall Thruster, the E× B current generates a strong electron drift with respect to the ions,
which can trigger plasma instabilities, such as the electron drift instability (EDI), also called …

The field of low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) excels by virtue of its broad intellectual
diversity, interdisciplinarity and range of applications. This great diversity also challenges …

The reduced-order particle-in-cell (PIC) scheme is a novel modeling approach that enables
computationally efficient electrostatic kinetic simulations of plasma. In our previous …

Low-temperature E× B plasmas are used in various applications, such as Hall thrusters for
satellite propulsion, ion sources and magnetron discharges for plasma processing, and …

In this paper, the nonlinear interaction between kinetic instabilities driven by multiple ion
beams and magnetized electrons is investigated. Electron diffusion across magnetic field …
