Kinetic simulation study of one dimensional collisional bounded plasma

摘要

A self-consistent kinetic simulation study of one dimensional collisional bounded plasma is presented. The formation of stable sheath potential is investigated.It is found that mass ratio of electron and ion not only affects the level of sheath potential, but also affects the ion temperature of system. It is clarified that the effects of secondary emission electron on both the total potential drop and the temperature are not important.
