A device has been built and tested, in which a ceramic superconducting cathode and a copper anode cause electrical discharges in low pressure gases, at temperatures between 50 and 70 K. The electrodes are connected to a capacitors array…

The microwave induced breakdown of N2 gas in microgaps was modeled using the collision frequency between electrons and neutral molecules and the effective electric field concept. Low pressure breakdown at the threshold electric field occurs…

The discharge structure of inductively coupled plasma is studied via fluid simulation and analytic theory collaboration. At low pressure, the discharge is stratified by the double layer, which is modelled as dipole moment. The parabolic…

In this paper we describe a simple and inexpensive method to generate plasma using a kitchen microwave. The microwave-generated plasma is characterized by spectroscopic analysis and compared with the absorption spectra of a gas discharge…

Packed bed plasma reactors (PBPRs) inherently have complex geometries where the volume between the electrodes is filled with dielectric/catalytic pellets to form an array of voids and cavities. This design generates multiple length scales…

The highly resolved temporal evolution of laser-induced micro-explosions on a germanium surface is studied in a triode configuration for various gate charge levels and cathode currents. Electron emission from individual spots is directly…

Recently a novel concept for collisionless electron heating and plasma generation at low pressures was proposed theoretically (U Czarnetzki and Kh Tarnev, Phys. Plasmas 21 (2014) 123508). It is based on periodically structured vortex fields…

There is a classic alternative to the Franck-Hertz experiment designed to show more than a recurrence of the first excited state. Instead of being subjected to a rising potential between source and accelerating grid, electrons are now…

The differential heating of electrons and ions by turbulence in weakly collisional magnetized plasmas and the scales at which such energy dissipation is most effective are still debated. Using a large data sample measured in the Earth's…

Parallel Micro Hollow Cathodes Discharges are characterised by electrical and spectroscopic studies and by using an ICCD camera. V-I curves present a hysteresis cycle between Townsend and normal glow regimes. For I d =4-10mA, gas…

Variation of voltage profiles with different time scales leads to the redistribution of deposited energy as well as electro-hydrodynamic forces, while the mechanism and scaling law is still unknown. On the basis of theoretical and numerical…

We study theoretically a gas consisting of charged bosons (ions) over the flat dielectric surface at low temperatures and its tendency to form a state with a Bose-Einstein condensate. For the stability of a system, an additional external…

A numerical study of normal glow discharge properties was performed in the case of small electrodes separations (0.05-0.4 cm) and moderate gas pressures (10-46 Torr). A recently observed new experimental effect of a considerable reduction…

Terahertz (THz) emission by two-color, ultrashort optical pulses interacting with underdense helium gases at ultrahigh intensities ($> 10^{19}\,\mathrm{W/cm}^2$) is investigated by means of 3D particle-in-cell simulations. The THz field is…

We analyze the two-dimensional momentum distribution of electrons ionized by few-cycle laser pulses in the transition regime from multiphoton absorption to tunneling by solving the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation and by a…

We consider flux equilibrium in dissipative nonlinear wave systems subject to external energy pumping. In such systems, the elementary excitations, or quasiparticles, can create a Bose-Einstein condensate. We develop a theory on the…

The criticism by W. E. Lamb, W. Schleich, M. Scully, C. Townes of a simplified quantum electrodynamics which represents the photon as a true particle is illustrated. Collisions being absent in low-pressure gas, exchanges of energy are…

The specific form of one electrode capacitive discharge was studied in long tubes filled with high purity neon or argon at pressure 1-4 Torr. The main feature of the discharge is the low rate (less than 10 kHz) of the voltage pulses of…

Pair production due to the Schwinger mechanism is modeled in a self-consistent approach taking into account the backreaction of the created particles on the field. The model uses the Boltzmann kinetic equation for the electrons and…

Formation of near-cathode plasma at the instant of breakdown of the air gap was studied by the methods of picosecond laser probing. It was demonstrated that 1-2 ns after a sharp rise of the current through the discharge gap dense plasma…
