In the PIC simulation of plasma, the fields are commonly calculated on uniform spatial grids using FDM. But, FDM has a difficulty in modeling a complex shaped model. FEM has a good flexibiblity in treating a complex shape, so that we calculated the field by using FEM not FDM. In this paper, the plasma between plane-to-plane electrodes was simulated using FEM and FDM. Comparing the results of those two methods told us that FEM is also valid as a calculating method in PIC plasma simulation. In order to verify the use of FEM, the discharge of rod-to-plane was simulated. There was not a little distortion of the electric field between the electrodes due to the distribution of space charges.

The electron cyclotron resonance plasma source with a belt-type magnet assembly (BMA) is designed for effective plasma confinements. For characterizing the plasma source, the plasma parameters are measured by Langmuir probe. However, the plasma parameters and the motion of charged particles near the ECR zone are not easy to diagnostics, because of the high plasma density and temperature. Thus, as an alternative method, the electromagnetic simulation of the plasma source has been performed by using three-dimensional particle-in-cell and Monte Carlo collisional (PIC-MCC) simulation codes. For considering the limitation of simulation resources and time, the periodic boundary condition is applied and the coulomb collision is neglected. In this paper, we present the results of 3D PIC simulations of ECR plasmas with BMA and we compare them with the experimental results.

Nonlinear dynamical behaviors in thermionic low pressure discharge are investigated using a particle-in-cell(PIC) simulation. An electrostatic PIC code is developed to model the plasma discharge system including the kinetic effects. The elastic collision, excitation collision, ionization collision, and electron-ion recombination collision are considered in this code. The generated electrons and ions are traced to analyze physical characteristics of the plasma. The simulation results show that the nonlinear oscillation structures are observed for cold plasma in the system and the similar structures are observed for warm plasma with a shift in values of the bifurcation parameter. The detailed oscillation process can be subdivided into three distinct mode; anode-glow, temperature-limited, and double-layer modes.

2000년 대에 들어 가파르게 성장하고 있는 우주비행체용 전기추진시스템의 안정적인 운영기술 개발을 위해, PIC-DSMC를 이용하여 전기추력기의 배기플룸의 거동을 해석하였다. 해석 방법에서 Boltzmann 관계식을 이용한 Simple Electron Fluid Model을 적용하였고, 원자-이온 간 충돌에 의해 발생하는 전하 교환 및 운동량 교환을 함께 고려하였다. 본 연구의 해석결과는 실험에서 계측한 플라즈마 전위값을 비교적 잘 예측하였다. 추력기 출구 근처에서는 활발한 입자 간 충돌 및 원자-이온 간 전하 교환으로 인해, 느린 이온 및 빠른 원자가 생성되었으며, 추력기 배기플룸의 궤적 및 속도에 중요한 영향을 미칠 것으로 예측되었다.

The feasibility of the particle-in-cell (PIC) method is assessed to simulate the non-collective phenomena like non-collective Thomson scattering (TS). The non-collective TS in the laser-plasma interaction, which is related to the single-particle behavior, is simulated through a 2D relativistic PIC code (XOOPIC). For this simulation, a non-collective TS is emitted from a 50-50 DT plasma with electron density and temperature of n_e = 3.00 × 10¹³ cm^-3 and T_e = 1000 eV, typical for the edge plasma at ITER measured by ETS system, respectively. The wavelength, intensity, and FWHM of the laser applied in the ETS system are λ_i,0 = 1.064 × 10^-4 cm, I_i = 2.24 × 10¹⁷ erg=s·㎠, and 12.00 ns, respectively. The electron density and temperature predicted by the PIC simulation, obtained from the TS scattered wave, are n_e,TS = 2.91 × 10¹³ cm^-3 and T_e,TS = 1089 eV, respectively, which are in accordance with the input values of the simulated plasma. The obtained results indicate that the ambiguities rising due to the contradiction between the PIC statistical collective mechanism caused by the super-particle concept and the non-collective nature of TS are resolved. The ability and validity to use PIC method to study the non-collective regimes are verified.

본 논문에서는 DS-CDMA 기반의 W-CDMA 상향링크 시스템에서 타사용자 간섭 및 다중 경로 간섭 신호를 효율적으로 제거할 수 있는 Multistage Adaptive Partial PIC를 설계하고 모의실험을 통해 그 성능을 분석하였다. 적응 방식은 연판정기의 가중치를 수신 신호에 따라 제어하는 방식이기 때문에 연판정의 효과를 극대화시킬 수 있고 더욱 정밀한 간섭 신호의 재생을 통해 검출 오류 포화 현상을 해결하여 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있다. 결과적으로 Multistage Adaptive Partial PIC는 시변 특성의 다양한 채널환경에서 단순한 최적화 방법을 제공하고 기존 Multistage Partial PIC보다 적은 단계에서 최적성능을 보였다. 줄어든 단계이외에도 레이크 수신기의 출력단에서 간섭 신호를 제거하는 방식으로 설계하여 시스템의 복잡도를 대폭 줄였다. Multistage Adaptive Partial PIC를 사용함으로써 고속의 데이터 전송에서도 간섭 신호의 정밀한 재생과 효율적인 제거를 통해 초기 검출 오류로 인한 검출 오류 포화 현상을 해결하고 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 제시하였다.

In SiH4/H2 discharge for growth process of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), silane polymers, produced by SiH2 + Sin-1H2n ${\rightarrow}$ SinH2n+2, have no reactivity on the film-growing surface. However, under the SiH2 rich condition, high silane reactive species (HSRS) can be produced by electron collision to silane polymers. HSRS, having relatively strong reactivity on the surface, can react with dangling bond and form Si-H2 networks which have a close correlation with photo-induced degradation of a-Si:H thin film solar cell [1]. To find contributions of suggested several external plasma conditions (pressure, frequency and ratio of mixture gas) [2,3] to suppressing productions of HSRS, some plasma characteristics are studied by numerical methods. For this study, a zero-dimensional global model for SiH4/H2 discharge and a one-dimensional particle-in-cell Monte-Carlo-collision model (PIC-MCC) for pure SiH4 discharge have been developed. Densities of important reactive species of SiH4/H2 discharge are observed by means of the global model, dealing 30 species and 136 reactions, and electron energy probability functions (EEPFs) of pure SiH4 discharge are obtained from the PIC-MCC model, containing 5 charged species and 15 reactions. Using global model, SiH2/SiH3 values were calculated when pressure and driving frequency vary from 0.1 Torr to 10 Torr, from 13.56 MHz to 60 MHz respectively and when the portion of hydrogen changes. Due to the limitation of global model, frequency effects can be explained by PIC-MCC model. Through PIC-MCC model for pure SiH4, EEPFs are obtained in the specific range responsible for forming SiH2 and SiH3: from 8.75 eV to 9.47 eV [4]. Through densities of reactive species and EEPFs, polymerization reactions and production of HSRS are discussed.

We have developed a 2.5-dimensional electromagnetic particle simulation code using the particle-in-cell (PIC) method to investigate electromagnetic phenomena that occur in space plasmas. Our code is based on the leap-frog method and the centered difference method for integration and differentiation of the governing equations. We adopted the relativistic Buneman-Boris method to solve the Lorentz force equation and the Esirkepov method to calculate the current density while maintaining charge conservation. Using the developed code, we performed test simulations for electron two-stream instability and electron temperature anisotropy induced instability with the same initial parameters as used in previously reported studies. The test simulation results are almost identical with those of the previous papers.

In this paper, the new algorithm for blind adaptive decorrelating parallel interference canceller detector in direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) synchronous communication systems is proposed. The goal of this paper is to improve the performance of the blind adaptive decorrelating parallel interference cancellation detector (BAD/PIC). The proposed blind adaptive decorrelating detector is using optimum step-size technique bootstrap algorithm as an initial stage of PIC, which does not require a training sequence. Therefore, this algorithm has a superior view of utilizing bandwidth and reduces the complexity of computation of inversion cross-correlation matrix. The computer simulation results show that the bit error rate performance of the proposed algorithm for the new structure of detector is better than that of the other detectors such as matched filters, the conventional PIC, and the blind adaptive decorrelating PIC detector.
