Spatial dependence of the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) in low-pressure diffused nitrogen plasmas produced by DC discharge is measured by a Langmuir probe. The EEDF measured at pressures below 10 mTorr has a dip structure at about 3 eV due to vibrational excitation collisions during electron diffusion towards the wall. The depth of the dip depends on both the distance from the plasma source and the pressure. The simplified one-dimensional model, in which the spatial variation in the electron diffusion flux is balanced to the remove and introduction of electrons due to inelastic collisions, can predict the spatial dependences of the EEDF.
