Abstract :
Hexagon-arranged pattern is formed in a dielectric barrier discharge employing a radio frequency power source, where argon mixed with a small concentration of nitrogen was used as discharge gas. The pattern formations were observed through a water electrode. In this paper, the influence of applied voltage and the concentration of nitrogen in the mixture gases on the pattern formation were emphasized.
