The theory of volume recombination rates in electron loss in gas- discharge plasma was analyzed using a nonlinear differential equation that considered ambipolar diffusion and volume recombination in describing electron density: (d/sup 2/n)/(dx) + (1)/(x)(dn)/(dx) + (ZR/sup 2/)/(D)n -- ( BETA R/sup 2/ )/(D)n/sup (where x = (r)/(R), r is the distance from the axis of the discharge, R is the discharge tube radius, Z, BETA , and D are ionization, recombination, and ambipolar diffusion coefficients). The results showed the electron loss by volume recombination to be 11% of the electron loss by ambipolar diffusion. This holds for sufficiertly large electron concentrations (n/sub 0/ approximates 10/ sup 12/ cm/sup -3/). (R.V.J.)
