  • Abstract
    Current sheath dynamics is an important parameter for good focusing or pinching in a dense plasma focus device. In this paper, we present pinching evidence and details of the filamentary structure of the current sheath in a miniature plasma focus device using a time-resolved laser shadowgraphic technique and time-integrated optical imaging.
