Abstract

Gas breakdown caused by triboelectricity during friction between two insulators was observed in measuring two-dimensional spatial distributions of luminescence from gas discharge plasma. The insulators were chosen among diamond, quartz, sapphire, MgO single crystal, and quartz-glass. The discharge between identical materials was also observed. The patterns of the gas discharge luminescence had a shape of a ring for all frictions between insulators. By using a gold-coated diamond pin for friction with a quartz disk, the discharge pattern differed from the ring pattern
