Distribution of the potential and concentration of electrons in low-temperature plasma with hollow microparticles

© 2016, Islamic Azad University (IAU). Using approximation of a uniform background (the jellium model) for a condensed dispersed phase, the analytical expressions describing a spatial distribution of the potential of the electric field and electron concentration in the low-temperature plasma at equilibrium which contains hollow spherical microparticles are obtained. The influence of heating temperature of plasma on the above distributions is studied, and the dependencies of the charge on microparticle radius, the size of the microparticle cavity and the absolute temperature of plasma are calculated. It is shown that electrons can be emitted not only into the surrounding plasma but also into the cavity of the particles
