The Effect of Phosphor Coating on THz/mm wave-Plasma Interaction in Glow Discharge Detector

Glow discharge detectors (GDDs) attract attention because they have advantageous features compared to commercial detectors currently used fur detecting THz and mm waves. Studies in the literature show that N523-coded GDD which has a phosphor coating exhibits the best performance as a detector. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been carried out yet to demonstrate the effect of phosphor coating on the detection mechanism. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to understand this effect by simulating the interaction between the plasma consisting of Ne-Xe mixture in N523 coded GDD and THz/mm waves with the parallel 1d3v Particle in CelllMonte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) code.
