Particle lofting from substrate exposed to plasma and electron beam

A nanometer-sized dielectric particle lying on a dielectric substrate is exposed to the flux of low-energy electrons, ion and electron fluxes from a cold plasma and the fluxes from the combination of these two sources with the help of particle-in-cell simulation to investigate the particle lofting phenomenon. The results are of interest for dust mitigation in the semiconductor industry, the lunar exploration, and the explanation of the dust levitation.

Dielectric particle lofting from dielectric substrate exposed to low energy electron beam

The particle-in-cell simulation is applied to study a nanometer-sized dielectric particle lofting from a dielectric substrate exposed to a low energy electron beam. The article discusses the electron accumulation between such a substrate and a particle lying on it, that can cause a particle lofting. The results are of interest for dust mitigation in the semiconductor industry, the lunar exploration and the explanation of the dust levitation.
