In this study, the physics of sheath formation in a collisional two-electron temperature plasma in the presence of an oblique external magnetic field has been investigated. At first, a comparative study among the fluid electron model, Boltzmann electron model, and the non-extensive electron model has been carried out and a suitable range of non-extensive parameter q has been predicted. In the latter part, a collisional two-electron temperature plasma is considered. Both the hot and cold electron densities are described using the non-extensive distribution, whereas cold ions are described by the fluid equations. The properties of the sheath are investigated in different collisional regimes by varying the non-extensive parameter (q) and the hot to cold electron densities and temperatures. The magnetic field inclination angle is varied in the limit 1° ≤ α ≤ 5°. It is observed that electron distribution significantly deviates from Boltzmann distribution for nearly parallel magnetic field. Moreover, collision enhanced flux deposition for highly magnetized case is a significant finding of the study. The results obtained in this study can enhance the understanding of plasma–matter interaction processes where multiple electron groups with near parallel magnetic field are found. |
