contents This paper proposes a novel approach for creating an inverse electron distribution function (EDF). Based on the obtained criteria for the formation of an inverse EDF in a non-uniform plasma, studies are conducted in low- and medium-pressure glow discharges with flat and hollow cathodes. The results of the numerical modeling and theoretical analysis are used to present reliable criteria and scaling for the evaluation of the possible inversion of the EDF under specific conditions. By solving the nonlocal Boltzmann kinetic equation in energy and coordinate variables, it is shown that the simplest way to implement the inversion of the EDF is in a glow discharge with a hollow cathode. For such discharges, practical recommendations are developed and specific conditions for the experimental detection of an inverse EDF are identified.
