The Langmuir Probe
ثبت نشده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: The Langmuir probe is a diagnostic device used to determine several basic properties of a plasma, such as temperature and density. A plasma is a state of matter which contains enough free (not bound to an atom) charged particles (electrons and ions) so that its dynamical behavior is dominated by electromagnetic forces. The subject of plasma physics is concerned mainly with ionized gases although very low degrees of ionization (@ 0.1%) are sufficient for a gas to exhibit electromagnetic properties.

متن کاملTemporal limits of a rapidly swept Langmuir probe
The finite, electrostatically achievable, temporal resolution of plasma properties from a turbulent discharge is limited by an array of effects wherein the theory of Langmuir probes breaks down. Formulations for the particle transit time, sheath formation time, plasma-probe resonance, polarization current, sheath capacitance, stray capacitance, and mutual capacitance effects are all evaluated f...
متن کاملUnderstanding Langmuir probe current-voltage characteristics
I give several simple examples of model Langmuir probe current-voltage I-V characteristics that help students learn how to interpret real I-V characteristics obtained in a plasma. Students can also create their own Langmuir probe I-V characteristics using a program with the plasma density, plasma potential, electron temperature, ion temperature, and probe area as input parameters. Some examples...
