Abstract

V originále

We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation of the motion of electrons in the space charge sheath surrounding a cylindrical Langmuir (electrostatic) probe. The electron currents to the probe have been calculated from these simulations for different conditions (pressure of neutral gas, presence of magnetic field). The results of the simulations have been compared with recent Langmuir probe measurements made in cylindrical DC magnetron plasmas.
