Equivalent two-dimensional numerical simulation of an ECR neutralizer
Abstract
Abstract The electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) neutralizer is a component of the 10-cm electron cyclotron resonance ion thruster (ECRIT) and its performance has a great effect on the overall performance of the thruster. To clarify the mechanisms of electron extraction of the ECR neutralizer, a particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) solver was developed to simulate the plasma in the ECR neutralizer. This paper equivalently simplified the three-dimensional model of the ECR neutralizer into a two-dimensional axisymmetric one according to experimental results and the circumferential electric drift of charged particles. Hence, a two-dimensional three-velocity component full-particle calculation model was used in the solver. Through analyzing ECR heating mechanism, the validity and accuracy of the equivalent ring antenna were discussed. The distribution of plasma parameters and extracted electron current were obtained by tracking the motion of electrons and singly charged xenon ions, simulating the elasticity, excitation, ionization and Coulomb collisions. The results showed that the density of neutral particles can be adjusted to coincide simulation current with experiment. It was also found that due to the magnetic field gradient, plasma will migrate to the magnetic well, where the ion was in dominant position to form a potential well and hinder the extraction of electron.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
