Change of fundamental properties of dielectric barrier discharge due to the alumina-based barrier layer composition

Properties of MgAl2O4 doped alumina barrier layers for dielectric barrier discharge

“…The thin ceramic tapes were prepared by the gel-tape casting method previously described in the work of Stastny et al [18] and Kelar et al [19]. The gel-tape casting method was based on the novel epoxy-based gel-casting method introduced by Stastny et al [20].…”

Robust current peak detection method for dielectric barrier discharges

“…For figure 15 the full scale was 16 kV, which means (lower) error 320 V. On the other hand, the amplitude of the HV signal can be determined from fitting equation (3) to a much larger sample of measured points (typically several 1000), which rapidly decreases the fit error. The upper bound on the fit error considered in this work (and [13,14]) is 1 V.…”

“…The dimensions in our CDBD configuration are between 'ideal' case for studyone or two filament problem and 'realistic' case-hundreds filament problem that can be seen in the industry-DCSBD discharge (see above). For more details, see [13,14]. Figure 1 illustrates the examples mentioned above.…”

“…permittivity, loss tangent, etc, and the discharge properties on the ceramics such as ignition and quenching voltage. One of the first systematic studies were introduced in [13,14,17], where the impact of magnesium on the ignition and quenching voltages was studied. Such measurement requires a proper method also suitable for further statistical processing.…”

Thin high-strength zirconia tapes with extreme flexibility

“…Thin self-supporting ceramic tapes with the thickness in the range from tens to hundreds of microns are used in many industrial applications (ceramic barrier layers [1][2][3][4], sensors [5][6][7], and flexible substrates [8,9]). Due to the subtle thickness of ceramic tapes, it is possible to reach an unusually high strength of ceramic tapes and even their substantial elastic deformations [8,9].…”
