Plasma-wall transition in two ion species plasma with bi-Maxwellian electrons

Presheath and sheath structures of collisional two ion species (helium and argon) plasma in the presence of bi-Maxwellian electrons have been investigated by using a fluid model. As the thermal energy of hot electrons is higher than cold electrons, the electron impact ionization process is governed...
