Semi-analytical modelling of prompt redeposition in a steady-state plasma

Résumé

A steady-state, 1D semi-analytical model for prompt redeposition based on the separation between redeposition caused by the electric field in the sheath and redeposition related to gyromotion is here described. The model allows for the estimation of not only the fraction of promptly redeposited flux but also the energy and angular distribution of the non-promptly redeposited population, along with their average charge state. Thus, the temperature and mean parallel-to-B velocity of the non-promptly redeposited flux are also available. The semi-analytical model was validated against equivalent Monte Carlo simulations across a broad range of input parameters. In this paper the eroded material under exam was tungsten (W) for which the code demonstrated consistent agreement with respect to numerical results, within its defined validity limits. The model can theoretically provide a solution for any material, temperature and electron density profile in the sheath, monotonic potential drop profile, and sputtered particles energy and angular distribution at the wall. As such, this code emerges as a potential tool for addressing the boundary redeposition phenomenon in fluid impurity transport simulations.
