Abstract :
Microdischarges are formed between a grounded hollow slot electrode and a radio frequency driven recessed wedge electrode. At low current, the discharges are uniform nonequilibrium glows, while for higher currents, the discharges transition to arcs. For certain operating conditions, patterned striations are produced in the discharge.
