Advances in fully-kinetic PIC simulations of near-vacuum Hall thruster and other plasma systems

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2007. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 326-332). === In recent years, many groups have numerically modeled the near-anode region of a Hall thruster in attempts to better understand the associate...
