State-to-state approaches are used to shed light on (a) thermodynamic and transport
properties of LTE plasmas,(b) atomic and molecular plasmas for aerospace applications and …

In this review, we detail the commonality of mathematical intuitions that underlie three
numerical methods used for the quantitative description of electron swarms propagating in a …

We have developed a Monte Carlo simulation for ion transport in hot background gases,
which is an alternative way of solving the corresponding Boltzmann equation that …

In this tutorial work, the Monte Carlo method to simulate the kinetics of charged particles in
weakly ionized gases is explained. The method is collocated in the wider context of the …

We review techniques to prepare, evaluate and apply sets of cross section and transport
data for negative ions that are required for the modeling of collisional non-equilibrium …

Old and new problems in the physics of magnetic multipole sources for the production of
negative H/sup-//D/sup-/ions are presented and discussed. We emphasize particularly, in …

A theoretical study of the vibrational kinetics and attachment in low pressure hydrogen
plasmas produced by Radio Frequency (RF) discharges is performed. In particular we study …

The kinetics of N 4+ and O− ions was numerically studied in nitrogen and oxygen plasmas in
a highly non-uniform electric field. Mean ion energy and reaction rate coefficients in a …

Electron velocity distribution functions (EVDFs) in CO 2 obtained by means of the Monte
Carlo flux (MCF) method are compared with results from two-term and multi-term Boltzmann …

The kinetics of O 2− ions were numerically studied in He and Ar with a small admixture of O
2 in a strong electric field through a Monte Carlo simulation. Cross sections for elastic …
