Theory and numerical solutions for sheath growth in a low-pressure plasma
Abstract
The theory of the development of thick sheaths given in an earlier paper (Sander 1969) is applied to planar sheath growth in practical situations. The results are compared with those resulting from a purely numerical method and from certain approximate equations suggested by other workers in the field.
