    matplotlib: plotting with Python

    Your choices are an n-body simulation (e.g., LAMMPS) with Coulomb interactions or, if your electrons are sufficiently sparse, a particle-in-cell (e.g., Starfish). Your best bets for visualization are going to be matplotlib or something more user-friendly like Visit or Paraview. Without a neutralizing background, however, your electrons are just going to repel each other, hit the walls, and disappear - there's not going to be much interesting to visualize. What are you actually trying to simulate? With more information maybe you could receive some more targeted advice.
