Analytical and numerical studies are carried out to investigate spacecraft charging and
plasma interactions in the solar wind. The physics of spacecraft charging in solar wind is …

We present photoelectron effects on the impedance of electric field antennas used for
plasma wave investigations. To illustrate the photoelectron effects, we applied …

A three-dimensional electrostatic full Particle-In-Cell code has been developed to analyze
spacecraft-plasma interactions quantitatively. The code is expected to achieve highly …

We use three different simulation codes to model the geospace environment surrounding
the Earth, ie, an electromagnetic particle code, a hybrid code, and an MHD code. We have …

A full particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulator with higher accuracy as well as reasonable
