Benchmarking-Charge-Conserving, Unconditionally Stable, Electromagnetic Finite-Element Particle-in-Cell Codes: Validating 3D nonlinear multiphysics simulations

Abstract: To a large extent, particle-in-cell (PIC) methods have become the default means of understanding plasma physics. As a result, there are a spate of codes, public and otherwise, that are ...

Elements, compounds and mixtures

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom. Iron is an ...
