摘要:
A new method for the evaluation of the electron temperature from the voltage–current characteristic of a single Langmuir probe under the application of an ac signal was developed and tested. This method exploits harmonics in the current spectrum which arise from the nonlinearity of the characteristic; from the amplitude of these harmonics the electron temperature can be deduced. Langmuir probe measurements on the TEXTOR edge plasma show a good agreement of the new method with the conventional one. The advantages of this method over other methods are discussed. Proposals for further improvements are given.
