Long-Lived Plasmoids Generated by Surface Microwave Discharges in Chemically Active Gases

  • 1. Prokhorov Institute of General Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, ul. Vavilova 38, Moscow, 119991 (Russian Federation)

Description

The generation of long-lived microplasmoids is observed during the irradiation of a metal-dielectric surface with a high-power microwave beam in a chemically active gas mixture (H2 + O2; CH4 + O2). The lifetime of these plasmoids substantially exceeds the characteristic recombination and cooling times of plasmoids arising at the target surface in a chemically inactive medium
