    • Figure 1.  Schematic diagram of the computational models: (a) long anode and (b) short anode. The dashed lines represent four typical locations.

    • Figure 2.  Energy dependence of secondary-electron yield due to Ar* and Arf impact onto copper surface.

    • Figure 3.  The 2D electron density distributions for (a) long anode and (b) short anode.

    • Figure 4.  Comparisons of plasma density variation along the x-direction. The plasma density changes logarithmically.

    • Figure 5.  Comparisons of y-direction variation of plasma density inside the channels of (a) the whole channel and (b) near the wall.

    • Figure 6.  The 2D potential distributions of (a) long anode and (b) short anode.

    • Figure 7.  Schematic diagram of the potential variations versus the x-direction position: (a) the long anode and (b) the short anode. The inset shows the potential variation from the anode inlet to the left boundary.

    • Figure 8.  Comparisons of y-direction potential variations inside the long and short channels.

    • Figure 9.  Trajectories of electrons inside the anode channel of (a) long anode and (b) short anode.

    • Figure 10.  Electron energy distribution functions of zone 1 and zone 2.

    • Figure 11.  Dependence of electron flux on total kinetic energy: (a) the long anode and (b) the short anode. Negative energy means the electron moves in the negative direction along the x-axis.

    • Figure 12.  Electron flux distributions below 20 eV: (a) the long anode and (b) the short anode.
