Simulations of ion heating due to ion-acoustic instabilities in presheaths

Lucas P. Beving et al.

Summary: Particle-in-cell and direct simulation Monte Carlo simulations show that ion-acoustic instabilities can result in significant ion heating in the presheath region. When the electron-to-ion temperature ratio exceeds a certain threshold, ion heating is observed near the sheath edge due to the rapid temperature equilibration rate between ions and electrons. This ion-acoustic wave heating mechanism is found to decrease at higher neutral pressures, where ion-neutral collisions damp the waves and ion heating is instead dominated by inelastic collisions in the presheath.

Data Needs for Modeling Low-Temperature Non-Equilibrium Plasmas: The LXCat Project, History, Perspectives and a Tutorial

Emile Carbone et al.

Summary: Technologies based on non-equilibrium, low-temperature plasmas are widely used in today's society, and plasma modeling is essential for understanding, development, and optimization. LXCat is an open-access platform for storing and exchanging data related to electron and ion components of non-equilibrium, low-temperature plasmas, supporting various data types that allow users to generate swarm parameters and reaction rates through online tools.
