1 PublicationOn parabolic potential profile in ion sheaths
Mukherjee, S.
Abstract
Parabolic potential profiles are commonly used in ion sheaths as it simplifies the mathematical formulation and is observed in limited experimental observations, where measurement uncertainties justify it. However, before using the parabolic potential profile assumption in all cases, there are other factors that needs to be concerned. The article highlights these factors for collisionless and collisional ion sheaths.
Keywords: parabolic potential profile; ion sheath; ion matrix
