The triple-probe method applied to the direct display of plasma parameters in a supersonic flowing continuum plasma

The calibration of electrostatic triple-probe voltage and current response in a supersonic continuum plasma has been carried out using a low-pressure shock tube. The electron temperature Te and charge number density Ne are compared to probe voltage and current response, respectively, for a useful ra...

Description
Summary:The calibration of electrostatic triple-probe voltage and current response in a supersonic continuum plasma has been carried out using a low-pressure shock tube. The electron temperature Te and charge number density Ne are compared to probe voltage and current response, respectively, for a useful range of plasma parameters (1≲Rp/λD≲10, 2≲M≲5, and 7
