Abstract
A plane grid probe is operated in a cesium‐vapor‐discharge plasma. The collected electron and ion currents are separated. The characteristic curve and its second derivative are analyzed. The densities, temperatures, and plasma potentials deduced from these curves are given and compared.Keywords
