Description

This paper contains an overview of certain sheath phenomena, namely the criterion for sheath formation, some examples of double layers and a description of some recent experiments on the suspension of dust particles in a sheath. A detailed review is not attempted and results obtained at Oxford are used to illustrate the last two topics. (author)
