Mean Energies

) study and study step are used for entering an array of values for the mean electron energy.

COMSOL Multiphysics computes the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) so that the mean electron energy is equal to the mean energy requested. This study conveniently allows data such as rate coefficients, Townsend coefficients, and electron transport properties to be computed as a function of the mean electron energy.

This study is available with the Boltzmann Equation, Two-Term Approximation interface, which requires the Plasma Module. Except for the section below, see Frequency Domain for all settings information. Also see the Plasma Module User’s Guide.

Study Settings

Specify the to use for the frequency sweep. Select the unit to use from the list (default: Hz). Enter the mean energies in the field using space-separated numbers or the range function.

Use the field to select a file with parameter values. You can browse your file system for files by clicking . After selecting a file, click the button to load the parameter values into the field.
