Self-Consistent Models of DC and Transient Glow Discharges

  • Chapter
Physics and Applications of Pseudosparks

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 219))

Abstract

In this paper we report some recent progress in the modeling of DC and transient glow discharges. The cases and examples which are discussed correspond to typical low current glow discharges (current densities of the order of 1 mA/cm2) at intermediate pressure (around one torr) and for simple electrode configurations. However, the approach and the methods which are described here could be generalized and extended to more complex conditions such as those occurring in high power hollow cathode glow switches.
