| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, space development and utilization have two innovations which are plasma propulsion and small satellite. Ion thrusters using electron cyclotron resonance have attracted attentions, but its plasma behavior inside still need more understanding for further applications. This research developed an Electromagnetic 3D-Full-PIC numerical simulation code by using a miniature plasma source to reveal the plasma physics and enhance its applications. As a result, we obtained two major results: 1) electron transport across the magnetic field is caused by oscillating electric field inside and 2) performance improvement of the thruster and proposal of the new ion thruster using water.
