One-dimensional, multi-fluid model of the plasma-wall transition. II. Negative ions

Original language description

The plasma-wall transition is investigated by a one-dimensional steady-state multifluid model, which was presented in detail in Part I [T. Gyergyek et al., AIP Adv. 14, 045201 (2024)]. In this work, the plasma-wall transition is analyzed for the case where the plasma consists of singly charged positive ions, electrons, and singly charged negative ions. When the temperature and initial density of the negative ions are varied, a transition between two types of solutions of the model is observed. We call them the low and high solution, with respect to the absolute value of the potential drop. When the density and temperature of the negative ions are above a critical value, the low solution is observed. As the mass of the positive ions increases, these critical values also increase, but only until the ion mass is below about 1000 electron masses. With larger ion masses, the critical density of the negative ions and the temperature no longer change. In the low solution, the potential drop in front of the sheath is determined by the negative ions and is smaller in absolute terms than in the case of the high solution, where the potential drop in front of the sheath is determined by the electrons. If the problem is analyzed on the pre-sheath scale, the transition between the low and high solution is very sharp. However, when the neutrality condition is replaced by the Poisson equation, this transition becomes blurred and the solutions of the model equations exhibit oscillations. The role of the smallness parameter is highlighted. It is shown how the initial electric field is determined. Deviation of the negative ion density profile from the Boltzmann relation is discussed.
