In this review we describe a transient type of gas discharge which is commonly called a
streamer discharge, as well as a few related phenomena in pulsed discharges. Streamers …

Dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are plasmas generated in configurations with an
insulating (dielectric) material between the electrodes which is responsible for a self-pulsing …

Nanosecond pulsed streamer discharge has unique characteristics that differentiate it from
longer discharges. The very fast voltage rise time, peak voltage plateau, short pulse …

It has been demonstrated experimentally that a non-equilibrium plasma column can be
generated by discharge pulses in a helium jet surrounded by atmospheric-pressure air …

Guided ionization waves, or plasma streamers, are increasingly important for many
applications in spanning materials processing and biomedicine. The highly reproducible …

This paper reviews optical diagnostic methods and approaches applied to study the
fundamentals of streamer discharges, considering the peculiarities of streamers develo** …

It is by now well understood that large sprite discharges at the low air densities of the
mesosphere are physically similar to small streamer discharges in air at standard …

Streamer discharges generated by nanosecond high-voltage pulses have gained attraction
for a variety of reasons, but mainly because they are very efficient for a number of plasma …

In this paper, a review of general and specific properties of ionization waves—streamers is
presented. Characteristics of streamers in gases and liquids, sprites in the Earth's …

We investigate how photoionization, electron avalanches and space charge affect the
inception of nanosecond pulsed discharges. Simulations are performed with a 3D PIC-MCC …
