Spontaneously generated temporal patterns correlated with the dynamics of self-organized coherent space charge configurations formed in plasma

Experimental Study of the Creation of a Fire-rod I: Temporal Development of the Electron Energy Distribution Function

“…These mechanisms are described in more detail in the papers by Sanduloviciu and coworkers [3,7]. Electrons from the cathode plasma are then accelerated across this structure and on the high potential side of the double layer gradually the anode plasma electron population is formed.…”

“…Statical [1,2,4,6] and dynamical [7,8] properties of anode type double layers have been studied. To our knowledge experimental studies of the temporal development of the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) during the creation of double layers are rare.…”

Modelling of the Temporal Behaviour of the Inter-Anode Current in a System of Two Coupled Electrical Discharges

“…In the last few years, the dynamical features of SCC's have been studied mainly in terms of self-organisation scenarios [9], [10], [11]. The discharge current, considered as a global parameter, reflects the periodic formation and disruption of two or more SCC's, the processes during the first disruption stage serving as a triggering mechanism for the dynamics of the next [12], [13], [14].…”

Ball lightning as a self‐organization phenomenon

“…They are known as fireballs [Sanduloviciu and Lozneanu , 1986;Sanduloviciu et al , 1995Sanduloviciu et al , , 1997 or plasmoids [Sanduloviciu, 1987], formed after self-organization, in dc and RF plasma devices, respectively.…”
