Ionization and current growth in N2 at very high electric field to gas density ratios

Ionization and current growth in N2 at very high electric field to gas density ratios

Measurements and analyses have been made of electron impact ionization and of current growth in pulsed, low-current, prebreakdown discharges in parallel-plane geometry in N2 at very high electric field to gas density ratios E/n and low products of the gas density n and electrode separation d. The E/...
