Abstract

AbstractA new nonlinear effect in a low temperature gas plasma has been found and investigated experimentally. At a critical value of the discharge current in a special glow discharge system the positive column constricts and striations evolve spontaneously. On a large time scale the pattern seems to consist of standing striations. At higher temporal resolution the striations turn out to be moving ones which are modulated by high amplitude oscillations of the total electric current and of the voltage observed at the device. In addition phenomena like period doubling and irregular behaviour occur.
