Abstract

We have developed a plasma probe circuit which couples standard Langmuir probe diagnostic procedures with pulse mode operation. Circuit versatility provides the means for studying time-dependent phenomena and establishes an improved capability for measuring plasma density and temperature. As an application of our circuit, we show that pulse mode operation substantially reduces the time variance of electrode surface conditions which often causes hysteresis in the Langmuir probe current–voltage characteristic.
