Atmospheric Pressure Glow Discharges

  • 1. International Research Centre for Experimental Physics, Queens University Belfast, BT7 1NN, Northern Ireland (United Kingdom)

Description

Their relative engineering simplicity, plasma uniformity and chemistry make Atmospheric Pressure Glow Discharges (APGD) very attractive for plasma processing applications. Here some of the basic characteristics of glow discharges are introduced. The basic dielectric barrier discharge and how it can be operated in a uniform glow rather filamentary mode is described. Electrical and laser-based measurements that throw light on the underlying physics of APGDs are presented, along with a model which seeks to explore the plasma chemistry of these discharges
