Key Points

  • The aim is to analyze the kinetic characteristics of electron drift in neon under varying electric field strengths.
  • Utilized Monte Carlo simulation for calculations.
  • Assessed the drift velocity, effective temperature, and ionization coefficient.
  • Examined two models for electron escape: avalanche and energetic electron escape models.
  • Provided analytical approximations for drift velocity, effective temperature, and ionization coefficient.
  • Observed significant differences in drift characteristics between standard and strong electric fields.

Abstract

We report kinetic characteristics of the electron drift in neon for the reduced electric field strengths in the range of 0.001 Td < E/N < 10000 Td. The drift velocity, effective temperature, and ionization coefficient are calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation. For the cases of strong and ultrastrong fields, 100 Td < E/N < 10000 Td, the calculation results are obtained for two models of electron escape from the system: (1) the avalanche model with multiplication and (2) the model with the escape of the most energetic electron to the wall in the system during the ionization event or transition to the runaway regime. For the drift velocity, effective temperature, and ionization coefficient, their analytical approximations from the reduced field strength are obtained and presented.
