摘要
Trichel pulses are investigated using a needle-to-plane electrode geometry at low pressure. The evolution of current and voltage, the spatio-temporal discharge images of Trichel pulse are measured. The rising time and duration time in a pulse are about 10 mu s and several tens of microseconds, respectively. One period of pulse can be divided into three stages: the stage preceding cathode breakdown, cathode glow formation, and discharge decaying process. Besides a cathode glow and a dark space, an anode glow is also observed. The emission spectra mainly originate from the C-3 Pi(u) -> B-3 Pi(g) transition for nitrogen. In addition, the capacitances in parallel connected with the discharge cell have important influence on the pulsing frequency. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
