Title: Gas breakdown in atmospheric pressure microgaps with a surface protrusion on the cathode

Abstract

Gas breakdown in atmospheric pressure microgaps with a cathode surface protrusion is highly sensitive to the protrusion geometry. The breakdown voltage is identified when the discharge enters the subnormal region, according to voltage-current curves calculated by a two-dimensional fluid model. The effects of the protrusion size and the aspect ratio on the gap breakdown voltage are examined. It is found that the protrusion size can have a more profound effect on the breakdown voltage than the protrusion's aspect ratio. The breakdown voltage versus the protrusion aspect ratio will show a minimum value if the aspect ratio varies in a wider range. Shrinking the size of cathode protrusion can increase the breakdown voltage faster than enlarging the gap distance in the absence of a protrusion in the same scale. As a result, the effect of the aspect ratio of the microgap on the breakdown voltage is also presented.

Gas breakdown and its scaling law in microgaps with multiple concentric cathode protrusions

Journal Article Fu, Yangyang ; Zhang, Peng ; Krek, Janez ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

This work reports gas breakdown characteristics in microgaps with multiple concentric protrusions on the cathode in the transition from the Townsend to the subnormal glow discharge regime, using a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The effects of the protrusion aspect ratio, height, and protrusion spacing on the breakdown voltage are investigated. The results show that when the protrusion spacing is small, the shielding effect can play a more important role in the breakdown voltage rather than the protrusion aspect ratio; the breakdown voltage is more sensitive to the protrusion height and can be assessed by the shortest gap distance.

Paschen's curve in microgaps with an electrode surface protrusion

Journal Article Fu, Yangyang ; Zhang, Peng ; Verboncoeur, John P. - Applied Physics Letters

Paschen's curve in microgaps with a hemi-ellipsoidal protrusion on the electrode surface is examined using a two-dimensional fluid model. The breakdown voltage is identified when the discharge enters the subnormal region, according to voltage-current characteristics. It is discovered that the breakdown in a microgap with a surface protrusion on the electrode can result in a combined Paschen's curve, which transits from long-gap (distance between the cathode and anode without the presence of protrusion) behavior at low pressure to short-gap (distance between the protrusion apex to the opposite electrode) behavior at high pressure. As gas pressure decreases, the length of themore »« less

Effect of surface protrusion on plasma sheath properties in atmospheric microdischarges

Journal Article Fu, Yangyang ; Zhang, Peng ; Verboncoeur, John P. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The electric field enhancement due to the presence of cathode surface protrusion is investigated in atmospheric microdischarges with the goal of identifying the plasma sheath properties (such as cathode sheath thickness and electric field distortion). The electric field enhancement caused by surface protrusion is examined by adjusting the aspect ratio and the protrusion size. It is found that the cathode electric field enhancement depends strongly (weakly) on the aspect ratio (size) of the protrusion when it is much smaller than the discharge gap distance. In particular, the axial electric field in both vacuum and discharges becomes nonlinear with the protrusionmore »« less

Breakdown of atmospheric pressure microgaps at high excitation frequencies

Journal Article Levko, Dmitry ; Raja, Laxminarayan L. - Journal of Applied Physics

Microwave (mw) breakdown of atmospheric pressure microgaps is studied by a one-dimensional Particle-in-Cell Monte Carlo Collisions numerical model. The effect of both field electron emission and secondary electron emission (due to electron impact, ion impact, and primary electron reflection) from surfaces on the breakdown process is considered. For conditions where field emission is the dominant electron emission mechanism from the electrode surfaces, it is found that the breakdown voltage of mw microdischarge coincides with the breakdown voltage of direct-current (dc) microdischarge. When microdischarge properties are controlled by both field and secondary electron emission, breakdown voltage of mw microdischarge exceeds thatmore »« less

Microwave breakdown of sub-atmospheric argon gas in the vicinity of a microgap

Journal Article Hernandez, M. E. Castelan ; Woodwyk, S. M. ; Zywicki, W. G. ; ... - AIP Advances

The microwave electric field at breakdown for argon gas in a microgap (generally, gap size <1 mm) over a wide range of pressures and gap sizes was found to exhibit two behavioral pressure regimes. A high microwave electric field was established in the gap of a re-entrant mode resonator. By slowly raising the microwave electric field level, a breakdown level is reached where impact ionization induces low pressure argon gas to breakdown preferentially outside of the gap. At high pressure, breakdown is found to occur preferentially inside the gap, but only after the pressure is high enough for impact ionizationmore »« less
