Description

A theoretical model for studying the heavy particle transport in a cathode sheath is developed. The velocity distribution functions near a planar cathode are deduced. The expressions for neutral and ionic fluxes of neutral and ionic particles near a planar cathode are also obtained. The result predicated by the theoretical model is in accordance Monte Carlo simulation
