Vlasov simulation of the emissive plasma sheath with energy-dependent secondary emission coefficient and improved modeling for dielectric charging effects

A one-dimensional Vlasov–Poisson simulation code is employed to investigate the plasma sheath considering electron-induced secondary electron emission (SEE) and backscattering. The SEE coefficient is commonly treated as constant in a range of plasma simulations; here, an improved SEE model of a char...
