Sheath thickness and potential profiles of ion-matrix sheaths for cylindrical and spherical electrodes
Abstract
Analytic expressions have been obtained for the potential profile and sheath thickness of the transient ion-matrix sheath which forms when a large negative step potential is applied to planar, cylindrical, and spherical electrodes immersed in a plasma.
