Potential distribution in the charge separation region of a plasma boundary layer

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The approximation of a test particle moving in an average force field is used to obtain an equation for the potential in the charge separation region. It is shown that effects associated with the interaction of the charges in the layer can be taken into account by introducing dynamic forces (dynamic friction, deceleration due to charge transfer on the ions, loss of energy of excitation, and so on).
