Abstract

The nonlocal approach was generalized for the low-pressure discharges to incorporate the collisionless heating and transit-time (electron temporal and spatial inertia) effects on plasma conductivity in the discharge description. The main goal was to derive a general set of equations (formulary) for the nonlocal approach with rigorous, self-consistent treatment of collisionless phenomena in inhomogeneous-plasmas. Overall, significant results were obtained.
