摘要: 采用C语言编程实现三维系综蒙特卡罗模型,外加磁场对微空心阴极放电的影响。研究结果显示,当气体压强和外加电压保持不变时,在微空心阴极放电系统中加入外部磁场后,对阴极方向上的电子密度分布变化不大,轴向和侧向上的电子漂移范围减小,电子能量向低能方向移动,但是外加磁场对高气压微空心阴极放电的影响整体上不如对低气压放电的影响明显。该研究结果对微空心阴极放电等离子体的机理研究具有一定的指导意义。

Abstract: Three-dimensional ensemble Monte Carlo model has been accomplished using C programming language to study the impact of different cathode aperture sizes to micro-hollow cathode discharges in argon under constant pressure and voltage. After adding an external magnetic field in a micro-hollow cathode discharge, the distribution of electron density has little change in the opposite-cathode direction and a more narrow drift range in the axial and the lateral direction, and electron energy becomes lower, but the applied magnetic field has a less obvious effect on high-pressure micro-hollow cathode discharges than on low-pressure discharges on the whole. The results of this work have some guides on the mechanism of the microhollow cathode discharge plasma.
