About this member
boltzplatz - numerical plasma dynamics GmbH offers engineering & consulting services in the field of numerical modeling and simulation for companies in high-tech industries. With our unique expertise in rarefied gas & plasma dynamics, we cost-effectively enhance your research & development department. Our focus is on vacuum & plasma based technologies as they occur in vacuum coating technology, semiconductor manufacturing and space propulsion. We offer complete simulation and development projects as well as technical support for the open source code PICLas.
Simulation of electron and ion beams in rarefied gases
With the help of the open-source plasma simulation software PICLas, electron and ion beams can be investigated under the influence of external electromagnetic fields and the self-fields of charged particles. The influence of the applied voltage, magnetic fields and ionization processes on the beam geometry can be investigated without expensive experiments:
- Influence of mounting tolerances – How does a tilted cathode affect the geometry of the electron beam?
- Influence of background pressure – What happens when the electron beam crosses regions with different pressures?
- Effects of the applied potentials and the beam current – How do the potential difference and the current affect the beam geometry and its energy distribution?
- Influence of the magnetic field – How can the magnetic field be further optimized in order to achieve a focused electron beam at the target?
