Abstract
The anode region of dc glow discharge in a coaxial structure has been studied upon the application of a magnetic field, which is crossed with the electric field at the anode. The radial potential profiles (anode fall) and electron distribution functions (EDFs) have been determined. The magnetic field application changes the sign of the anode fall and leads to modification of the potential profile and the EDF.
