Abstract
The effect of an oscillating sheath on near-wall conductivity has been studied using a model of the incident electron motions with the characteristic parameters of the oscillating sheath quantified. The model predicted an increase in both the frequency of electron-wall collisions and the coefficient of secondary electron emission compared to the steady sheath regime. This effect indicates that near-wall conductivity is enhanced in the oscillating sheath regime.
