Numerical analysis of surface produced H$$^{-}$$ ions by using two-dimensional particle-in-cell method

Miyamoto, Kenji*; Okuda, Shin*; Hatayama, Akiyoshi*; Hanada, Masaya

The modeling and analysis of a negative ion source is proceeding by using a 2D particle-in-cell simulation. The effect of the H$$^{-}$$ ion production on the plasma grid (PG) surface is investigated. It is shown that with the increase of H$$^{-}$$ ions per time step, the H$$^{-}$$ ion current density is enhanced, while the electron current density decreases with increasing the H$$^{-}$$ production rate on the PG surface. Theseresults agree well with the experimental results observed in typical negative ion sources. Moreover, it is found that plasma quasi-neutrality is held mainly by both H$$^{+}$$ and H$$^{-}$$ ions in the bulk plasma.
