The authors have begun an in-depth numerical study of the behavior of plasma opening switches (POS),a nd relevant experimental results. Simulations using the 2-1/2 dimensional PIC codes OOPIC, MAGIC, and ISIS are compared with theory. Because of the difficulty in applying and comparing PIC simulations to actual POS experiments, the numerical work is at present concerned with validating the more modest scenarios predicted by theory, e.g., the penetration skin depth of the magnetic field. The state-of-the-art graphical user interface of OOPIC is especially convenient for observing the field penetration as a real-time movie. A review of previous experiments (NRL, Weizmann, etc.) will be examined to indicate if the phenomenon of fast magnetic field penetration into plasmas can account for some experimental observations. Experimental scenarios, e.g., the direction of the density gradients, values of the plasma collision frequency, electron orbits, etc. in a typical POS are discussed.","PeriodicalId":254741,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 21st International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS)","volume":"445 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133929019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, observations of lock-on, non-uniformities in the electric field, and filamentation of current flow across the device when switching at high fields have raised concerns about the scaling of PCSS to higher currents. To investigate these issues, a two dimensional time dependent computer model of GaAs PCSS has been developed with the motivation of understanding filament formation. The model solves the continuity equations for electrons and holes, conservation equations for trapping sites, the energy equation for the lattice. Poisson`s equation, and a circuit equation. Physical effects in the model include band-to-band impact ionization, trap impact ionization, photoionization, and negative differential resistance. The physical devices investigated with the model are based on the Bulk Optical Semiconductor Switch (BOSS) developed by Schoenbach. In this talk a description of the model will be presented followed by consequences of switch geometries, gain mechanisms, and non-uniform injection and illumination on the operation of the device.","PeriodicalId":254741,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 21st International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128930248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
