Effect of total emitted electron velocity distribution function on the plasma sheath near a floating wall

Electrons emitted from a solid surface can noticeably affect characteristics of plasma sheath surrounding that surface by modifying current balance at wall, charge separation in sheath region and Bohm criterion at sheath edge. We establish a static sheath model with kin...
