Аннотация:It is established that the electron temperature (Te) of plasma as determined from the slope of the current-voltage (I-U) characteristic or from the second derivative of the probe current (Druyvesteyn method) is overstated. By taking into account the ion current contribution, it is possible to refine the Te value determined from the slope of the I-U curve. Analysis confirms that the concentration of ions determined from I-U curves for a collisional regime in the near-probe space-charge region is also overstated.
