Similarity theory and scaling laws determine how physical laws remain the same when
control parameters are changed, which is essential for the correlation, prediction, and …

The wide range of applications of cold plasmas originates from their special characteristic of
being a physical system out of thermodynamic equilibrium. This property enhances its …

In low temperature plasmas, the interaction of the electrons with the electric field is an
important current research topic that is relevant for many applications. Particularly, in the low …

In this Letter, the novel physics of higher harmonic (HH) generation of the normal electric
field near a dielectric surface is reported in multipactor induced plasma ionization …

Power absorption by electrons from the space-and time-dependent electric field represents
the basic sustaining mechanism of all radio-frequency driven plasmas. This complex …

The particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collisions (PIC/MCC) simulation approach has become a
standard and well-established tool in studies of capacitively coupled radio frequency (RF) …

The etching of sub micrometer high-aspect-ratio (HAR) features into dielectric materials in
low pressure radio frequency technological plasmas is limited by the accumulation of …

The present work investigates electron transport and heating mechanisms using an (r, z)
particle-in-cell simulation of a typical rf-driven axisymmetric magnetron discharge with a …

The effects of the discharge voltage on the formation and nature of electric field transients in
a symmetric, collisionless, very high frequency, capacitively coupled plasma are studied …

The electron dynamics and the mechanisms of power absorption in radio-frequency (RF)
driven, magnetically enhanced capacitively coupled plasmas at low pressure are …
