## TL;DR

This paper numerically investigates how two-temperature electrons and collisions influence the sheath structure and ion energy flux in a magnetized plasma, enhancing understanding of plasma-surface interactions.

## Contribution

It introduces a numerical model for collisional magnetized plasma with two-temperature electrons, highlighting the impact of high-temperature electrons and collisions on sheath properties.

## Key findings

- High-temperature electrons significantly affect sheath potential.
- Collisions alter sheath characteristics and ion energy flux.
- High-temperature electrons dominate sheath dynamics.

## Abstract

A collisional magnetized plasma consisting of two temperature electrons has been investigated numerically to study the sheath structure and the ion energy flux to the wall. The low-temperature electrons are described by Maxwellian distribution, and the high-temperature electrons are described by truncated Maxwellian distribution. It has been observed that high-temperature electrons play a major role in the sheath potential as well as the ion energy flux to the wall. The presence of collision in the sheath has a significant effect on the properties of the sheath. The study of such a system can help in understanding of plasma surface interaction.
