Bohm sheath criterion for electronegative warm plasma carrying seconadary electron emission in an oblique magnetic field

The Bohm sheath criterion is formulated by using Sagdeev potential approach for electronegative warm plasma under oblique magnetic field and secondary electron emission from the wall. In this model the effect of collisions between positive ions and neutral, ionization, electronegativity, non-extensivity and temperature ratio (positive/negative ion to electron) are also considered to get the exact […]

Behaviour of sheath in electronegative warm plasma

AbstractBehaviour of sheath formed on two types of probes, namely cylindrical and spherical probes, has been investigated in terms of its thickness, in front of the conducting probes immersed in an electronegative plasma for different negative to positive ion mass ratios, by considering three electronegative gases, i.e. CF4, O2 and C60. Contrary to others’ work, […]

Space charge formation and Bohm’s criterion in the edge of thermal electronegative plasma

AbstractThe collisional electronegative plasma space charge is investigated in the presence of the thermal positive ions. The Boltzmann distribution is assumed for electrons and negative ions and fluid equations are used to treat the accelerated positive ion through the sheath region. The influence of the positive ion temperature on the profile of the space charge […]
