Simultaneous Potential and Circuit Solution for Two-Dimensional Bounded Plasma Simulation Codes

TL;DR: PDP2 is used to simulate a dually excited capacitively coupled RF discharge and it is shown how such a system can be used as a plasma processing tool with separate control over ion flux and ion bombarding energy.

Capacitive RF discharges modelled by particle-in-cell Monte Carlo simulation. II. Comparisons with laboratory measurements of electron energy distribution functions

TL;DR: In this paper, particle-in-cell Monte-Carlo (PIC-MCC) simulations were used to obtain the same transition point in the electron heating mode, from stochastically dominated heating at low pressures to ohmically dominating heating at high pressures, and excellent agreement was obtained between the effective low and high electron temperatures in simulations and those measured in the laboratory.

Modelling electronegative discharges at low pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, a macroscopic analytical model was developed for a plasma discharge with a three-component (electronegative) core and an electropositive edge region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transitions and scaling laws for electronegative discharge models

TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium of electronegative discharges is studied in the plane-parallel approximation over a wide range of pressures and electron densities, encompassing a number of regimes that have previously been modeled analytically.

Equilibrium theory of cylindrical discharges with special application to helicons

TL;DR: In this paper, a universal profile for all discharges with uniform electron temperature Te and neutral density nn was obtained, which is self-similar for discharges using a simple cylindrical model in one dimension.
