Abstract:A theoretical study of the floating double probe based on the Druyvesteyn theory is developed in the case of non-Maxwellian electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs). It is used to calculate the EEDF in the electron energy range larger than -e(V f − V p ) from the I-V double probe characteristics. V f and V p are the floating and plasma potential, respectively. The analytical distribution function corresponding to the best fit of EEDF in the energy range larger than e(V f − V p ) allows the determination … Show more
