GEMPIC: geometric electromagnetic particle-in-cell methods [PDF]
Journal of Plasma Physics, 2017 We present a novel framework for finite element particle-in-cell methods based on the discretization of the underlying Hamiltonian structure of the Vlasov–Maxwell system. We derive a semi-discrete Poisson bracket, which retains the defining properties of a bracket, anti-symmetry and the Jacobi identity, as well as conservation of its Casimir invariants,

PIC Simulations of Continuously Driven Mirror and Ion Cyclotron Instabilities in High Beta Astrophysical and Heliospheric Plasmas [PDF]
, 2015 We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to study the nonlinear evolution of ion velocity space instabilities in an idealized problem in which a background velocity shear continuously amplifies the magnetic field.

Study on the influence of magnetic field on the performance of a 5 kW hall thruster
Frontiers in Materials, 2023 Hall thruster is a kind of plasma optics device, which is used mainly in space propulsion. To study the influence of magnetic field on the performance of a 5 kW hall thruster, a two-dimensional PIC-MCC model was built.

Ion acceleration in the ‘dragging field’ of a light-pressure-driven piston
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We propose a new acceleration scheme by employing the enormous electric potential behind a light-pressure-driven piston, namely ‘dragging field acceleration’.

SHARP: A Spatially Higher-order, Relativistic Particle-in-Cell Code [PDF]
, 2017 Numerical heating in particle-in-cell (PIC) codes currently precludes the accurate simulation of cold, relativistic plasma over long periods, severely limiting their applications in astrophysical environments. We present a spatially higher-order accurate
