Abstract
The effect of near-sheath dusts on the rf power loss in a surface-wave-sust ained gas discharge is studied. The planar plasma is bounded by a dielectri c and consists of an inhomogeneous near-wall transition layer (sheath), a d usty plasma layer and an outer dust-free plasma. The discharge is maintaine d by high-frequency axially symmetrical surface waves. The surface-wave pow er loss from the most relevant dissipative mechanisms in typical discharge plasmas is analysed.
