Abstract

A non-linear analysis of ionization wave fronts is given including energy effects. The necessary external energy source is Joule heating due to an applied transverse electric field. The front propagates at a speed which is proportional to the product of the electron sound speed and the square root of the ratio of the electron collision time to the reaction time. The structure of the ionization wave is also obtained.
