The authors have done an excellent job of clearly explaining the different nomenclature
used in plasma processing, with the meaning of the symbols and constants commonly …

The hollow-cathode effect (HCE) is studied for conventional and modified hollow-cathode
discharges (HCDs). HCDs are considered that operate at substantial current densities and …

A 1-D model for the simulation of transition from glow microdischarge to arc discharge with a
thermionic cathode was built using COMSOL Multiphysics. The extended fluid model was …

Two-dimensional hybrid Monte Carlo–fluid numerical code is developed and applied to
model the dc glow discharge. The model is based on the separation of electrons into two …

The energy balance of the Maxwellian (bulk) electrons is analyzed in spatially
inhomogeneous negative-glow plasmas (NGP). The purpose is to give a comprehensive …

In this paper, we present the formulation of slow electron energy balance for hybrid models
of direct current (DC) glow discharge. Electrons originating from non-local ionization …

This paper presents a simple analytical model of a longitudinal hollow cathode discharge
used in metal vapour lasers. The model describes the principle relations between the …

A hybrid modeling network, consisting of several Monte Carlo and fluid models, is
developed for a hollow cathode glow discharge in a mixture of helium and argon, with …

Results of the experimental investigation of large volume DC glow discharge with coaxial
grid electrodes in low-pressure helium are presented. Measurements of plasma parameters …

The kinetics of slow electrons is studied in a low-pressure negative-glow plasma (NGP). A
method based on the nonlocal approach is proposed, which allows the nonlocal …
