Probe theory - the orbital motion approach

A review is given of the orbital motion limited (O.M.L.) theory of cylindrical and spherical Langmuir probes. In many cases the O.M.L. theory is invalid and the second orbital motion theory presented here, that of Bohm, Burhop and Massey, shows that the concept of an absorption radius must be introduced. The extensive numerical extensions to this theory are briefly discussed.
