Dielectric particle lofting from dielectric substrate exposed to low energy electron beam (2001.07992v1)
Published 22 Jan 2020 in physics.app-ph, physics.comp-ph, and physics.plasm-ph
Abstract: 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.
