“…The decrease in several discharge pulses and the integrated charge at high frequency is due to retention of positive ion clouds near the anode (tip of semiconducting tape) from previous discharge. These positive ion clouds increase in concentration and shields the anode, thereby extinguishing the discharge [11][12][13]25]. Whereas at low frequency, there is sufficient time between the polarity reversal of voltage cycle and the probability of drifting way of positive ion clouds from the anode and recombination drift away and recombining is high.…”

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.
