Low temperature catalytic reactions induced by nonthermal plasma (NTP) have been of
great interest in plasma chemistry for application to pollution control and energy-related …

The field of microplasmas gained recognition as a well-defined area of research and
application within the larger field of plasma science and technology about 20 years ago …

Dielectrics in Electric Fields explores the influence of electric fields on dielectric—ie, non-
conducting or insulating—materials, examining the distinctive behaviors of these materials …

Gas breakdown at microscale dimensions has been of great interest to the
microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and plasma communities for nearly 15 years as …

Traditionally, Paschen's curve has been used to describe the breakdown voltage for
gaseous ionization between two electrodes. However, experiments have shown that …

With the continual miniaturization of electronic devices, there is an urgent need to
understand the electron emission and the mechanism of electrical breakdown at nanoscale …

Paschen's law and deviation from Paschen's law are studied in a face to face gas sensor
based on Mn helical sculptured thin films with conical shape as cathode and anode …

In this work, the performance of a face-to-face gas sensor based on Mn nano-rod thin films
with different heights as both electrodes is reported. Paschen's law and departure from …

While well established for larger gaps, Paschen's law (PL) fails to accurately predict
breakdown for microscale gaps, where field emission becomes important. This deviation …

While experiment, simulation, and theory all show that the gas breakdown voltage
decreases linearly with gap distance for microscale gaps at atmospheric pressure due to the …
