Hello,


I am looking for a PIC-code that does some simulation of plasmas that 
are (partly) confined by walls (of a chamber) and driven by a HF-field. 
When checking the user documentation and examples provided in the web, I 
could not find out whether these things are implemented or not (or are 
implementable). Until now I have been using a 1D-code with 
periodic/reflecting boundary conditions, secondary electron emission, 
collisions and HF-adjustments (voltage, frequency). Since I am now 
interested in electrode shapes (form and size relative to the available 
plasma volume), I would like to have a 2D(3D)-code that includes the 
features of the 1D code with the possibility of the electrode manipulation.

Could you give a brief estimation if this is possible?


Thank you very much and best regards

Michael
