Recent developments in laboratory double layers from the late 1980s to the spring of 2007
are reviewed. The paper begins by a lead up to electric double layers in the laboratory. Then …

Biased electrodes are common components of plasma sources and diagnostics. The plasma–
electrode interaction is mediated by an intervening sheath structure that influences …

Equilibrium states of anodic double layers that form near a positively biased disk-shaped
electrode immersed in a partially ionized plasma are studied experimentally using …

Experimental results are presented on the generation and dynamics of concentric as well as
non-concentric multiple double layers in hot filament type discharge plasma. These results …

We report experimental results showing that a discharge plasma, which self-structures as
concentric multiple double layers, is capable of evolving towards chaos through a cascade …

Self-organized patterns of spots on a flat metallic anode in a cylindrical glow discharge tube
are simulated. A standard model of glow discharges is used, comprising conservation and …

This paper presents the experimental results on the formation, dynamics and evolution
towards chaos of complex space charge structures that emerge in front of a positively biased …

Double layers (DLs) are non-linear potential structures [1] consisting of two adjacent layers
of positive and negative space charges, in which the existing potential jump creates an …

Self-organized spatial plasma structures exhibit many similarities with Turing structures
obtained in biology and chemistry. Using an analytical mesoscopic approach, it is shown …

Medium-frequency waves in the ion-electron two-fluid plasma with frequencies between the
electron gyrofrequency and the ion gyrofrequency are studied. The dispersion relations and …
