Two-dimensional PIC simulation of the ion-extraction process in an electrostatic field using different electrode configurations

Abstract The ion-extraction process from a finite-size photoplasma is simulated by using two-dimensional electrostatic particle-in-cell code. To investigate the impact of different electrode configurations on ion extraction parallel plate, wire-type, II-type, and M-type are used. present study compares time these electrodes provides quantitative audit photoions. Through this, it observed that configuration extracts more ions in less than other configurations. Subsequently, this quantifies collection electrodes, which can be further utilized to design configuration. Moreover, gives systematic an field with
