Simulation Of Electron Hop Funnels Using Version 9.2 Of Lorentz-2e, Tyler Rowe, Marcus Pearlman, Jim Browning

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Electron hop funnels have been simulated using the new version of the particle trajectory simulation software, Lorentz-2E. Simulations were conducted to determine the validity of the version 9.2 results and the consistency of the results to a previous version of the software, version 8.0. In addition, a new method of injecting a uniform current with all rays of equal charge is discussed, and the results of the method are presented. Version 9.2 of the software was successfully implemented and a new emission model tested. The transition of the software version will allow for faster simulation times of the electron hop …
