The boundary regions of low-temperature plasmas are known to be susceptible to kinetic instabilities, which can affect the energies and fluxes of particles directed at the material boundary. For example, both the ion acoustic instability as well as an instability near the electron plasma frequency have been observed. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is a tool that, alongside experiments, can capture the effects these instabilities have on the particle distribution functions. Ultimately, simulations can determine under what conditions these effects are significant by comparing to theoretical predictions and explore conditions unamenable to experiments.
