摘要:
A self‐consistent hybrid Monte Carlo‐fluid model for a direct current glow discharge is presented. The Monte Carlo part simulates the fast electrons while the fluid part describes the ions and slow electrons. Typical results of the model include collision rates of the fast electrons, energy distributions of these electrons, fluxes and densities of the different plasma species, the electric field and the potential distribution, all as a function of position from the cathode. The influence of the negative glow on the calculations in the cathode dark space is studied. Moreover the influence of three‐dimensional scattering instead of forward scattering and the incorporation of side wall effects is investigated. Calculations are carried out for a range of voltages and pressures in order to study their influence on the calculated quantities. Comparison was made between total electrical currents calculated in the model and experimentally measured ones to check the validity of the model. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
