Abstract
A collisional magnetized plasma consisting of two temperature electrons has been investigated numerically to study the sheath structure and the ion flux to the wall. The low-temperature electrons are described by Maxwellian distribution, and the high-temperature electrons are described by truncated Maxwellian distribution. It has been observed that sheath width and ion flux to the wall are non monotonous functions of collision frequency as well as hot electron concentration. A sheath formation criterion has been analytically derived and is used to find the ion velocity at the sheath edge. The sheath edge velocity is found to decrease with the increase of hot electron concentration and hot electron temperature. The study of such a system can help in understanding of plasma surface interaction.
