Influence of the Ion Mass in the Radial to Orbital Transition in Weakly Collisional Low-Pressure Plasmas Using Cylindrical Langmuir Probes
This paper presents an experimentally observed transition from the validity of the radial theories to the validity of the orbital theories that model the ion current collected by a cylindrical Langmuir probe immersed in low-pressure, low-temperature helium plasma when it is negatively biased with re...
