  • Abstract
    Nonarcing microdielectric barrier discharges (mDBDs) using radio-frequency excitation are attractive in that the arrays of devices can be inexpensively produced to generate surface sources of plasma or radicals. Images of the time evolution of electron extraction from an mDBD sustained in atmospheric-pressure N2 are presented.
