Owing to its distinctive photon energy range, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) emission plays a key
role in diverse photo-induced natural and technological processes. Atmospheric-pressure …

A micro-hollow cathode discharge (MHCD) operated in Ar/N 2 gas mixture, working in the
normal regime, was studied both experimentally and with a 0D (volume-averaged) model in …

Hollow cathodes are a common type of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light source with a wide
range of design and application. We determined the VUV (58.4 nm) intensity distribution of a …

Electron energy distribution function, vibrational and electronic excited states are self-
consistently solved to investigate the formation of ammonia under nano-second repetitive …

Utilizing nanosecond high voltage pulses to drive microdischarges (MDs) at repetition rates
in the vicinity of 1 MHz previously enabled increased time-averaged power deposition, peak …

In this paper, we present an experimental and numerical study on micro-hollow cathode
discharge (MHCD) in helium at atmospheric pressure. The discharge in the micro-hollow …

The electron number density N e in helium micro hollow gas discharge (MHGD) is measured
