Auto-Oscillations of a Spherical Glow Discharge in Drift-Diffusion Approximation

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADP015003 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A spherical glow in low-pressure nitrogen for transition abnormal to Townsend regimes of a spherical discharge has been studied. The model includes non-stationary drift-diffusion equations for electrons and ions coupled with Poisson equation for radial electric field. The auto-oscillations of plasma parameters are obtained.
