Particle in cell calculation of plasma force on a small grain in a non-uniform collisional sheath

The plasma force on grains of specified charge and height in a collisional DC plasma sheath is calculated using the multidimensional particle in cell code COPTIC. The background ion velocity distribution functions for the unperturbed sheath vary substantially with collisionality. The grain force is...
