Electrical explosion of a wire by microsecond pulses in a longitudinal magnetic field
The explosion of a tungsten wire in a weak longitudinal magnetic field is studied. The longitudinal magnetic field is shown to decrease the rate of rise of initial perturbations and to stabilize the process. T...

Spatial macroscopic structure of a pulsed microsecond discharge in barrier-metal gaps with a nonuniform electric field distribution
Electric and spatial characteristics of a pulse-periodic microsecond barrier discharge are investigated in different geometries—triangular prism, plate, and corrugated electrode—that are in contact with a diel...

Study of the microscopic characteristics of a repetitive microsecond barrier discharge
Results are presented from investigations of the electric, optical, and spatial characteristics of a microsecond barrier discharge in atmospheric-pressure air in a uniform electric field. The currents in indiv...

The Effect of a High-Voltage Diffuse Gas Discharge on Microbiological Cultures
The results are given of investigation of the inactivation of microbiological cultures in moist and dry states by low-temperature plasma of a low-power diffuse pulse-periodic discharge (up to 5 W) initiated in...

Electric fields in compact clusters of parallel current channels
The electric field in compact clusters of parallel current channels is calculated in the model of a bundle of long parallel cylindrical conductors. It is shown that, because of the mutual neutralization of the...

Self-similar spatial structure of a streamer-free nanosecond discharge
The microstructure of a current channel is experimentally found under the conditions when homogeneous air gaps are subjected to nanosecond voltage pulses in an electric field insufficient for streamer generati...

Formation of the microscopic structure of high-voltage nanosecond diffuse discharges in sharply nonuniform geometry
The possibility of the development of ionization instability in the avalanche and plasma phases (of the long-wave and short-wave type, respectively) is demonstrated for high-voltage nanosecond discharges in sh...

High-energy electrons in nanosecond high-voltage discharges develo** in the regime of microstructured current channels
A mechanism responsible for the generation of high- and anomalous-energy electrons is formulated on the basis of a fractal model of the spatial structure of nanosecond gas discharges. The proposed mechanism ad...

Morphology of the imprints of spark current channels in a point–plane gap in air
Using the autograph (imprint) method, the imprint microstructure of current channels that are associated with a submicrosecond spark initiated in air in a point–plane gap with the point charged both negatively...

Pulse–Periodic Diffuse Discharge with Self-Ionization in a Gas Flow
A pulse–periodic diffuse discharge self-initiated in an atmospheric-pressure air flow passing through an annular gap with a strongly nonuniform electric field has been studied. The discharge serves as a source...
