Abstract
The evolution of a microsecond pulsed barrier discharge initiated in atmospheric pressure air in the point–plane electrode geometry has been investigated using streak camera photorecording and shadow photography with micrometer resolution and nanosecond exposure. It has been shown that the discharge develops in series and its structure evolves both within a series and from series to series. It has been found that, irrespective of the polarity of a feed voltage pulse, the discharge develops from the point electrode, having the form of a set of many micrometer-diameter channels. At the late stage, the discharge consists of a number of glowing microstructured channels, which occupy the space between the point and barrier and deviate from the point axis, and many faint channels radially propagating over the surface of the barrier. Numerical parameters of the structured have been obtained.
