Hello!

I try to get Current-Voltage Characteristic of Inverted Magnetron Vacuum Gauge using COMSOL.

(see image here ej.iop.org/images/0963-0252/21/3/035006/Full/psst402568f02_online.jpg )

I successfully modeled a coaxial DC glow discharge, but don't understand, how add axial magnetic field.

I have read this post www.comsol.com/community/forums/plasma-module/thread/26073/ , is it really impossible to modele my system?

Dmitry,

the thread you are referring to was discussing the magnetron sputtering process. I think that is an animal different from what you have in mind.

Cheers
Edgar

Of course I don't interest in sputtering process, I just want to get some information about plasma in crossed Electric and Magnetic fields ( coaxial diode with axial magnetic field )

I get some Ion-Current information for coaxial diode discharge without magnetic field (attach images).

Dmitry,

As long as your plasma is sufficiently collisional, you can model this process in COMSOL. On the settings for the DC Discharge interface, activate "Compute tensor ion transport properties" and "Compute tensor electron transport properties". You can then enter the magnetic flux density in the Model Inputs section of the settings for the Plasma Model node.
