Effect of initial ion velocities on the thickness of a planar sheath

  • 1. University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada V8W 2Y2

Description

A straightforward method is presented for calculating the sheath thickness surrounding a planar probe in a collisionless plasma assuming an initial ion velocity. Sheath thicknesses are compared to those calculated from Langmuir's modified planar analysis.
