Abstract
A precise description of the electron distribution function near absorbing surfaces has been obtained based on the solution of the inhomogeneous electron Boltzmann equation. The absorbing surface creates a large gradient of the electron distribution function that consequently leads to an axial variation of the electron density and other electron transport parameters. The axial variation of the electron distribution function is investigated and compared for rare gases and nitrogen and the impact of the higher order terms in Legendre polynomial expansion is discussed.
