One-dimensional Vlasov simulation of parallel electric fields in two-electron population plasma
- Centre of Plasma Physics, Tepesia, Sonapur-782 402, Kamrup (India)
One-dimensional Vlasov simulation in electron current carrying multicomponent plasma seeded with a density depression is presented. Considering two electron populations [one is sufficiently hot ({approx}keV) and the other is cold along with cold background ions], the formation of weak double layers is investigated. Simulation results show that in this numerical setting, formation of such double layers needs the majority of the hot electrons.
