Abstract

The inverse-brush-electrodes (IBE) structure with a large area is designed to investigate the discharge mechanism driven by alternating current (ac). It is found that the IBE structure increases the number of secondary electrons and reduces the breakdown voltage by comparing the discharge processes of IBE and plate electrodes. Meanwhile, the breakdown mechanism of gas discharge driven by ac is analyzed in detail. Additionally, the designed IBE structure has a negative differential conductivity enhancement effect than that of plate electrodes when plasmas are generated in the heavy noble gas. Finally, the negative differential conductivity enhancement phenomenon of the IBE structure is analyzed by experiments and simulations. This effect originates from the non-equilibrium electron energy distribution function (EEDF), which is due to the more suprathermal electrons generated by the IBE structure.
