Use of Langmuir Probes for Low-Density Plasma Diagnostics

Osman K. Mawardi

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

A review is given for the theory of operation of the single and double Langmuir probe. The method of using the double Langmuir probe for the purpose of measuring the temperature and density of electrons in a plasma is described. In the remaining part of this paper, a laboratory experiment using Langmuir probes is suggested and sample calculations pertaining to such an experiment have been given.
