Solids facing a plasma are a common situation in many astrophysical systems and
laboratory setups. Moreover, many plasma technology applications rely on the control of the …

This paper is the first in a series of three papers to summarize the recent work of an
European‐wide collaborationwhich is ongoing since about one decade using Particle‐in …

The sheaths that occur at surfaces in laboratory and space plasmas are reviewed with an
emphasis on numerical models that can be solved with modest computational resources …

Partially magnetized low-temperature plasmas (LTP) in an E× B configuration, where the
applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the self-consistent electric field, have become …

Most works on plasma-wall interaction predict that with strong electron emission, a
nonmonotonic “space-charge-limited”(SCL) sheath forms where the plasma potential is …

We propose a method to directly couple molecular dynamics, the finite element method, and
particle-in-cell techniques to simulate metal surface response to high electric fields. We use …

The modelling of the Hall thruster SPT-100 is a very important issue in view of the increasing
importance of such propulsion devices in space applications. Only kinetic models can …

To better characterize the lifetime and performance of electrospray thrusters, electron
emission due to electrode impingement by the propellant cation 1-ethyl-3 …

The sheath region of a Hall discharge is studied in a four-dimensional phase space which
consists of one spatial (radial in cylindrical metrics) and three velocity dimensions by means …

The secondary emission properties of the surface play one of the key roles in its interaction
with plasma. This paper presents the first study of electron-induced electron emission yield …
