Abstract

Analytical expressions to determine sheath thickness surrounding cylindrical or spherical Langmuir probes are obtained using a radial model for cold electropositive plasmas. As has been shown by the authors, a radial model can be used to obtain numerical results to locate the sheath edge considering three different criteria, when it is parameterized according to the radius and the potential of the probe. Expressions to fit these results are provided.
