Here is both a textbook for beginners and a handbook for specialists in plasma physics and
gaseous electronics. The book contains much useful data: results of experiments and …

In the limit of a small Debye length (lambda D to 0) the analysis of the plasma boundary
layer leads to a two-scale problem of a collision free sheath and of a quasi-neutral …

The field of electron kinetics in extremely nonequilibrium glow discharge plasma is
reviewed, starting from the classical works of Langmuir. It is shown that it is only in terms of …

An asymptotic analysis of electron collection at high bias Φ p serves to determine the
domain of validity of the orbital-motion-limited (OML) regime of cylindrical Langmuir probes …

For the first time, the spatial distribution of the electron density in the plasma region between
the edge of the hollow cathode and the grid anode, which is not bounded by side walls, has …

Methods for inferring the electron distribution function (EDF) from a probe current–voltage
trace are reviewed for moderate-collisional plasma. The explicit accounting of particle …

In a hollow cathode discharge in helium at reduced pressure, the profile of the plasma
potential U p in the cathode-anode region was measured with a single Langmuir probe. A …

The collected current by spherical and cylindrical Langmuir probes immersed in an
unmagnetized and collisionless non-Maxwellian plasma at rest are theoretically studied …

The results obtained to date by the one-dimensional theory of the emission of positive ions
by a plasma are reviewed from a unified point of view. Simple and generalized forms of the …
