Basic concept of sheath formation
Description
The condition for the formation of a sheath in front of an electrode in a plasma is reviewed. The treatment is extended to cases with negative ions, high energy electrons and secondary electrons. The case when the positive ion temperature is higher than the electron temperature is also treated. The plasma dispersion relation is discussed from the point of sheath formation. (author)
