摘要
Bohm criterion is revisited in the framework of a one-dimensional stationary and unmagnetized low-pressure argon and helium plasma mixture containing non-thermal electrons and dust grains model. Dust grains, electron non-thermality, and ions density ratio effects on Bohm velocities along with dust grain charge number vertical bar Phi(d0)vertical bar, are investigated. It is revealed that Bohm velocities are highly correlated, with their profiles exhibiting a moving peak. Mixing the two gases allowed the appearance of subsonic (argon) as well as supersonic (helium) Bohm velocities. The present model may be generalized to many ion species plasmas.
