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.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
