Abstract :
Summary form only given. The MICHELLE two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) steady-state and time-domain particle-in-cell (PIC) code has been employed successfully by industry, national laboratories, and academia and has been used to design and analyze a wide variety of devices, including RF photoemitters, RF gated emitters, multistage depressed collectors, gridded guns, multibeam guns, annular-beam guns, sheet-beam guns, beam-transport sections, and ion thrusters.
