Striations are observed only in coplanar or wedge-shaped planar AC-type discharges.
On the basis of the observation results, striations are analyzed and discovered to be related
to the ion waves generated by the self-sustained perturbations during the force-balancing
process between ion and electron wall charge clouds accumulated on the dielectric layer
over the metal electrodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
