Computational study of microwave-induced ionization process using PIC-MCC method

We have developed a two-dimensional PIC-MCC code which can describe interactions between input microwave and charged particles and collisions among the gas particles including neutrals in order to examine the mechanism of formation of a filamentary structure observed in a microwave-beaming thruster....
