In this work, a cold-cathode ion source was modified to produce a broad beam that could be
successfully used in a variety of applications. The ion source features gave reliable, long …

The characteristics of gas breakdown were studied for argon-helium gas mixture using DC
discharge between two planer electrodes. The breakdown voltage of the pure helium gas is …

Active packaging of fruits and vegetables uses films that absorb molecules from or contribute
molecules to the produce. The pilot application developed in this paper has resulted in the …

In this study, the parameters affecting the Langmuir characteristics of a closed-field
unbalanced magnetron plasma sputtering system were studied. These parameters include …

This paper presents a simple phenomenological model and detailed simulation studies of
the breakdown of a gas under the simultaneous action of electric and magnetic fields. In …

An experimental study was performed on a low-density plasma discharge using two different
configurations of the plasma cell cathode, namely, the one mesh system electrodes (OMSE) …

The performance of flexible cables for applications at the kilovolt level over a gas pressure
range from below 1 Pa to ambient needs to be quantified. Braided cable designs provide the …

One of the reasons for increased material removal rate in magnetic field assisted dry
electrical discharge machining (EDM) is confinement of plasma due to Lorentz forces. This …

In the present paper, an attempt was made to investigate the effect of applying a transverse
magnetic field on the dc corona discharge behavior in low vacuum. In general, two …

Two-dimensional numerical simulation of the negative streamer propagation in external
electric and magnetic fields is performed for the case when applied electric and magnetic …
