3D particle simulations of plasma-solid interaction: magnetized plasma and a cylindrical cavity
نویسنده
چکیده
In this contribution we report the results obtained using a newly developed self-consistent fully 3D Particle-In-Cell code for modelling of plasma-solid interaction. The model presented here involves a hollow cylindrical chamber opened to the plasma, with an external magnetic field limiting access of charged particles to the cylindrical wall. This model layout might provide more insight into processes taking place during magnetron deposition of thin films onto porous media. It is also a basis for probe diagnostics in fusion plasma research. The magnetic field is inclined with an angle of either 15◦ or 30◦ with respect to the cylindrical axis. Several different presures of the ambient neutral Ar gas are considered to model the diffusion of ions across the magnetic field in the presence of a solid surface.

In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...

متن کاملHybrid computational simulation of plasma-solid interaction at low and medium pressures
The plasma-solid interaction has been generally studied by experimental, theoretical and computational methods. The increasing performance of computers allows to introduce new and more powerful computational methods. However, fully three-dimensional particle simulations are still extremely demanding and therefore usually restricted to supercomputers, etc. To overcome this difficulties, more sop...
متن کاملStudy of non-linear interaction of circular laser pulse propagating through hot magnetized plasma in the presence of a planar magnetostatic wiggler
In this paper, the self-focusing property of an intense circularly polarized laser pulse in hot magnetized plasma is investigated theoretically. First, an envelope equation governing the spot-size of the laser beam for both left- and right-hand polarizations has been derived in the presence of a planar wiggler. Furthermore, non-linear dispersion relation of laser pulse is obtained by using Maxw...
متن کاملEnergy Gain of Magnetized Cylindrical D-T Targets in Fast Ignition Fusion
In recent years, many different plans have been considered to use the nuclear energy gained from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) as attempts to obtain high energy efficiencies. In conventional ICF methods, a small amount (about mg) of the deuterium–tritium compound is confined in a small spherical chamber of a few millimeters in radius and compressed by laser or heavy ion beams with powers in...
