Development of 1D object-oriented particle-in-cell code (1d-XOOPIC)

For plasma simulations, we developed a one-dimensional (1d) Object-Oriented Particle-in-Cell code for X11-based Unix workstations (XOOPIC) by modifyin g the current two-dimensional version which was originally developed by PTS G (Plasma theory and simulation group) in the University of California at B erkeley. We implemented a simplified field solve and current deposition in the code. We retained three components of particle velocity, although the s patial variation for particle position and field components is limited to o ne dimension. To verify the function of the Id code, we perform simulations with typical models such as the Child-Langmuir current model and electroma gnetic wave propagation in plasma. In both cases, the simulation results qu antitatively agree with the theory.
