摘要
This paper presents the behavior of plasma profiles of a sheath in unmagnetized collisionless plasma in the presence of nonextensively distributed two-temperature electrons and isothermal ions. A theoretical model is developed where isothermal ions are described by the conventional hydrodynamic equations along with the effect of electron nonextensivity described by q-distribution function. The plasma sheath parameters like Bohm velocity, potential, and density profiles in the presence of nonextensively distributed two-temperature electrons and isothermal ions are investigated.
