- Abstract
- In plasma diagnostics with a single Langmuir probe, the electron temperature T-e is usually obtained from the slope of the logarithm of the electron current or from the electron energy probability functions of current (I)-voltage (V) curve. Recently, Chen [F. F. Chen, Phys. Plasmas 8, 3029 (2001)] suggested a derivative analysis method to obtain T-e by the ratio between the probe current and the derivative of the probe current at a plasma potential where the ion current becomes zero. Based on this method, electron temperatures and electron densities were measured and compared with those from the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) measurement in Maxwellian and bi-Maxwellian electron distribution conditions. In a bi-Maxwellian electron distribution, we found the electron temperature T-e obtained from the method is always lower than the effective temperatures T-eff derived from EEDFs. The theoretical analysis for this is presented. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
