Microstructure electrodes as a means of creating uniform discharges at atmospheric pressure

Large-area direct current (DC) discharges were generated using planar microelectrode arrays (MEAs) with electrode distances between 50 and 250mm. A homogenous diffuse light emission with a typical thickness of approximately 0.5– 1.5mm was observed. The discharge can be operated over a wide pressure range with sustaining voltages of only a few 100V DC and showed the characteristics of a normal g...

Atmospheric pressure plasma of dielectric barrier discharges*

The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has a number of industrial applications and has been a subject of research for many years. Many studies have been carried out to understand the underlying DBD physics. Despite the fact that much progress has been made, some important issues are still far from being clear. In this work, we summarize the basics of DBD physics and introduce innovative concept...
