Abstract
A surface discharge in a system where metal electrodes in the form of a series of parallel strips are positioned on the dielectric surface is studied. Analytical formulas for calculating the spatial distribution of the potential and the electric field in a discharge cell are derived. It is shown that the geometry of the metal electrodes should be taken into account (along with physical and chemical characteristics of the dielectric, the voltage applied to the electrodes, and other parameters of the system) for generation of the electric field with optimal configuration in the discharge cell. The obtained results are also applicable for analysis of discharge cells with a coplanar barrier discharge where metal electrodes are positioned in the dielectric at small depths. The results are of interest since a barrier discharge is one of the efficient methods for generating non-equilibrium plasma at high pressures for a variety of technological applications.
