There has been considerable interest in non-thermal discharges over the past decade due to the increased number of industrial applications. The properties of discharges in electronegative gases are most frequently used for technological applications. For the improvement of performance in these applications, it is necessary to understand discharge dynamics experimentally and numerically. In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation is carried out in sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in uniform electric fields. The streamer propagation, electron, positive and negative ion distributions and space charge fields are studied in detail as time increases.

A new Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm has been applied to verify the concept of the effective temperature recently suggested as a description of energy relaxation of carriers in band tails of amorphous semiconductors under the presence of an applied electric field. The algorithm allows the simulation with arbitrary applied field and finite temperature. The results of the simulation agree favourably with the theoretical prediction.

<span>The electron swarm parameters in gases are necessary for the simulations of plasma processes. The sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has enormous applications suitability, because of its excellent dielectric properties, it is a gas used extensively as an insulating gas in various electric devices. Consequently, we must dedicate a significant attention to studying the physical properties of this gas. An investigation has brought into effect on the electron swarms parameters in SF6 gas in time varying electric fields using a Monte Carlo simulation. Swarm parameters as a function of instantaneous E/N (E is the electric field and N the gas number density of background gas molecules) for different dE/dt are determined.</span>
