Abstract

The plasma current multiplier (PCM) system is analysed and it is shown that the current gain is linearly proportional to the resistance in the cathode circuit. It is suggested that the analysis could be used to calculate the sheath resistance at the plasma/metal wall interface. The experimental results show that the sheath resistance per unit area is essentially constant in the operating range of the PCM system.
