Unequal areas of the powered and grounded electrodes in single-frequency capacitively
coupled plasmas (CCPs) are well-known to generate a DC self-bias voltage and an …

Ionization gas sensors are ubiquitous tools that can monitor desired gases or detect
abnormalities in real time to protect the environment of living organisms or to maintain clean …

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 paper, we report on results from a computational investigation of nanosecond pulsed
surface discharges of positive and negative polarity using a 2D fluid and fluid-Monte Carlo …

Particle based simulations are indispensable tools for numerical studies of charged particle
swarms and low-temperature plasma sources. The main advantage of such approaches is …

We compare the ion-induced electron emission from freestanding monolayers of graphene
and MoS 2 to find a sixfold higher number of emitted electrons for graphene even though …

This paper is the first from a set of two companion papers on radio-frequency (RF)
discharges. These two papers are in turn part of a larger series on the foundations of plasma …

The effects of electron induced secondary electron (SE) emission from SiO 2 electrodes in
single-frequency capacitively coupled plasmas (CCPs) are studied by particle-in-cell/Monte …

Atomic layer etching (ALE), a cyclic process of surface modification and removal of the
modified layer, is an emerging damage-less etching technology for semiconductor …

In the past three decades, first principles-based fully kinetic particle-in-cell Monte Carlo
collision (PIC/MCC) simulations have been proven to be an important tool for the …
