Abstract:The structure of the magnetized radio-frequency (RF) sheath of plasma containing supra-thermal electrons is studied numerically with a one-dimensional hybrid model consisting of a collisionless sheath model and an equivalent circuit model of the sheath. It is found that effect of the external magnetic field on the sheath structure depends on the direction of the disturbance current source. As the plasma magnetization or angle between the magnetic field and the wall is increased, both the sheath thickness and s… Show more
