摘要: The nonlinearity of the plasma sheath for frequencies well above ion frequency is analyzed. work focuses on relation voltage and displacement current low‐pressure discharge. simple model a stepwise electron density distribution within generalized are derived. Both approaches result in fundamental general voltage, current, time dependent width. Experiments at asymmetrical rf discharges show models to be realistic. temporal dependence width calculated from experimental data.
