Abstract

A theory is developed to explain cascading bifurcations to chaos observed in a current-carrying ion sheath. The basic equation is derived to describe ion dynamics in an ion sheath which obeys the Child-Langmuir law for a large potential drop and is numerically solved to show the same bifurcation sequences as those in the experiments.
