Abstract:Charge neutralization in a continuous electron beam plasma (EBP) in a half-open space at intermediate and high pressures is an important physical issue. A two-dimensional numerical simulation was performed to illustrate the spatial and temporary evolution of the needle-like EBP from the beginning of electron beam injection to the quasi-steady state. The temporary evolution of the space charge separates into three phases and the involved respective physical processes controlling different phases were identified… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
