Constricted Discharges in the Rare Gases. II. Analysis of the Macroscopic Properties of the Discharge

摘要: The macroscopic properties of the rare gas constricted discharges are discussed. For rf excited discharge an equivalent circuit for electrode coupling has been found, comprising a capacitor with and plasma forming plates tube wall dielectric. An explanation observed striations is advanced, based upon existence voltage standing waves at resonance frequency. A numerical analysis on energy balance indicates that these should have finite radius, in this case smaller than radius. It necessary to require electron distribution be Maxwellian near center deviation from causes sharp boundary heavier gases. microwave it pointed out include electromagnetic field equations requirement naturally leads maximum radius sin...
