Abstract
A statistical simulation of the low-voltage arc mode of plasma diodes is carried out on a large-scale digital computer to ascertain the importance of various thermalization and transport mechanisms. The computer experiment is two-dimensional and utilizes Monte Carlo techniques to study the low-voltage arc in neon at p=2 Torr, current=4 A, and diode spacing=2.37 cm. Results on the potential distribution, electron-density distribution, and electron-energy density function are presented and discussed. The theoretical results are correlated with experimental results.
