We study a partially ionized hydrogen plasma by means of quantum molecular dynamics, which is based on wave packets. We introduce a new model which distinguishes between free and bound electrons. The free electrons are modelled as Gaussian…

The ion production in an ECRIS is modelled using a particle-in-cell Monte-Carlo collision code in a three-dimensional geometry. Only the heavy particles (ions and atoms) are tracked, with the electron density determined from the requirement…

We study the effect of dielectric inhomogeneities on the interaction between two planparallel charged surfaces with oppositely charged mobile charges in between. The dielectric constant between the surfaces is assumed to be different from…

Physical mechanisms of the interaction of cold plasmas with organic surfaces are discussed. Trapping of plasma ions by the CH2 groups of polymer surfaces resulting in their electrical charging is treated. Polyethylene surfaces were exposed…

The discharge structure of inductively coupled plasma is studied via fluid simulation and analytic theory collaboration. At low pressure, the discharge is stratified by the double layer, which is modelled as dipole moment. The parabolic…

Nonlinear field dependence of electrophoresis in high fields has been investigated theoretically, yet experimental studies have failed to reach consensus on the effect. In this work, we present a systematic study on the nonlinear…

The magnetic dipole absorption cross section of a spherically shaped metal particle was calculated in terms of kinetic approach. The particle considered was placed in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave. The model of boundary…

The boundary sheath of a low temperature plasma comprises typically only a small fraction of its volume but is responsible for many aspects of the macroscopic behavior. A thorough understanding of the sheath dynamics is therefore of…

The sliding motion of aqueous droplets on hydrohobic surfaces leads to charge separation at the trailing edge, with implications from triple-line friction to hydrovoltaic energy generation. Charges deposited on the solid surface have been…

We consider weakly ionized plasma where frequent elastic scattering of electrons on neutrals change the individual acts and the rate of electron-electron collisions significantly. In this case, the kinetics of electron thermalization is…

The collisional drift wave instability is reexamined taking into account the ion response in the direction parallel to the magnetic field lines, which appears due to friction with electrons and which can not be omitted in view of the…

It was recently proposed that the electron-frame dissipation measure, the energy transfer from the electromagnetic field to plasmas in the electron's rest frame, identifies the dissipation region of collisionless magnetic reconnection…

We explore the nonlinear response of plasmonic materials driven by ultrashort pulses of electromagnetic radiation with temporal duration of few femtoseconds and high peak intensity. By developing the Fokker-Planck-Landau theory of electron…

Plasmas generated using energetic electron beams are well known for their low electron temperature ($T_{e}$) and plasma potential, which makes them attractive for atomic-precision plasma processing applications such as atomic layer etch and…

Continuum kinetic simulations of plasmas, where the distribution function of the species is directly discretized in phase-space, permits fully kinetic simulations without the statistical noise of particle-in-cell methods. Recent advances in…

An extended thermal particle boundary condition is devised to more efficiently and accurately model laser-plasma interactions in overdense plasmas. Particle-in-cell simulations of such interactions require many particles per cell, and a…

Using high resolution Vlasov - Poisson simulations, evolution of driven ``cold" electron plasma wave (EPW) in the presence of stationary inhomogeneous background of ions is studied. Mode coupling dynamics between ``cold'' EPW with phase…

Plasma boundary layers are susceptible to electrostatic instabilities driven by ion flows in presheaths and, when present, these instabilities can influence transport. In plasmas with a single species of positive ion, ion-acoustic…

Biased electrodes are common components of plasma sources and diagnostics. The plasma-electrode interaction is mediated by an intervening sheath structure that influences properties of the electrons and ions contacting the electrode…

Conduction electrons in metallic nano-objects ($\rm 1\,nm = 10^{-9}\, m$) behave as mobile negative charges confined by a fixed positively-charged background, the atomic ions. In many respects, this electron gas displays typical plasma…
