Abstract The available electron cyclotron resonance plasma source has been simulated in two-dimensional configuration space (z, r) and three-dimensional velocity space (Vz, Vr, V$\theta$). Using a hybrid model, we treat ions as particles and electrons as fluid. The motion of ions and electrons is determined by external magnetic field and self- consistent electrostatic field. For a given magnetic distribution, the spatial profiles of electron temperature, plasma potential, plasma density and ionization rate have been obtained. The influences of microwave power, neutral gas pressure and magnetic field on plasma parameters have been studied. The comparisons between simulation and experimental results are made and the explanations for some physical phenomena are given.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
