The essence of any implicit PIC (particle-in-cell) algorithm is to use part of the future fields in the evolution of the particle/field equations so that stability with a large time step can be maintained. The big impediment in developing implicit methods for PIC techniques has been the difficulty of solving the field rapidly and robustly in the parameter regimes of general interest. We describe here a new implementation of the Direct Implicit algorithm with a field solution that greatly reduces these concerns.
