[플라즈마 물리]F.F. Chen Problem 1.5 Solution Debye Shielding

Problem In a strictly steady state situation both the ions and the electrons will follow the Boltzmann relation

\[n_i = n_0 e^{\frac{-q_i \phi }{KT_i}}\]

For the case of an infinite, transparent grid charged to a potential \(\phi\), show that the shielding distance is then given approximately by

\[\lambda_D^{-2} = \frac{ne^2}{\epsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{KT_e} + \frac{1}{KT_i} \right)\]

Answer

\[\begin{aligned} \nabla \cdot \vec{E} &=\frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{e}{\epsilon_0}(n_i - n_e) \nonumber \\ &= - \frac{e}{\epsilon_0} n_0 \left( e^{-\frac{e\phi}{KT_i}} - e^{\frac{e\phi}{KT_e}} \right) \nonumber \\ &= - \frac{e}{\epsilon_0} n_0 \left( 1 -\frac{e\phi}{KT_i} - 1 - \frac{e\phi}{KT_e} \right) \nonumber \\ \frac{d^2 \phi }{dx^2 }&=\frac{e^2 n_0}{\epsilon_0}\left( \frac{1}{KT_i} + \frac{1}{KT_e} \right) \phi \nonumber\end{aligned}\]

Hence,

\[\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\lambda_D^2} = \frac{e^2 n_0}{\epsilon_0}\left( \frac{1}{KT_i} + \frac{1}{KT_e} \right) \nonumber\end{aligned}\]

\[\lambda_D = \sqrt{\left( \frac{\epsilon_0 K T_e T_i}{ne^2 (T_i + T_e)} \right)}\]

• \(T_i << T_e \quad \quad \lambda_D \simeq \sqrt{\left( \frac{\epsilon_0 K T_i}{ne^2} \right)}\)

• \(T_e << T_i \quad \quad \lambda_D \simeq \sqrt{\left( \frac{\epsilon_0 K T_e}{ne^2} \right)}\)
