Widening of the Electron Avalanche in a Barrier Discharge Due to the Photoemission

Abstract

The evolution of the narrow electron avalanche in a harrier discharge is studied via two-dimensional fluid model. If the photoemission is taken into account as a primary source of electrons at the cathode, the electron avalanche initiates a quasi-homogeneous glow discharge. This discharge is about 10 ns in duration; it covers all the electrode area.
