In plasmas the atoms are dissociated into ions and free electrons. Due to the high mobility of the electrons, plasmas are a vibrating medium. As a result, a plasma frequency can be determined, which is an important parameter for characterizing a material. In this study, the plasma frequency is to be visualized. For this purpose, a mathematical model will be set up to describe the electron kinetics. The electrons are briefly deflected with a force against the static ion background in order to examine the interaction between the particles in the form of electrostatic fields. The discretized equations are implemented in a numerical particle simulation to visualize the movement of the electrons. The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method is used for this. A spatial mathematical grid is created on which the simulated particles are distributed in the cells. The equations of motion and field are then solved on this grid at different times.
