The Model of Gas-Discharge Nonneutral Electron Plasma

Plasma Physics 2013-11-19 v1

Abstract

The model of gas-discharge nonneutral electron plasma has been considered, in which the electron density is limited by non-linear processes initiated by diocotron instability and it does not depend on the mechanism of electron transport across the magnetic field. The model describes well the characteristics of electron sheath and the current characteristics of discharge both, in magnetron geometry and in the geometry of inversed magnetron, and it allows us to describe quantitatively the influence of anode misalignment on the discharge electron sheath for the first time. The scope of applicability of the proposed model, as well as its relation with other models of electron sheath is studied.
