Description

The excitation of microwave discharges in fine semiconductor powders and powder mixtures of metals and dielectrics is studied. The plasma is produced due to local sparks generated in microsecond microwave pulses. The time delay in the onset of a discharge amounts to several milliseconds for intensities on the order of 10 kW/cm2. As the discharge develops, both microwave absorption and the discharge glow intensity increase. Intense nonuniform heating of the powder is observed
