Abstract:Motivated by a deeper understanding of plasma-surface interactions, this study presents experimental investigations into the transient surface charging process during dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) in an air gap in a needle-to-plane geometry based on a combination of the Pockels method and a custom-designed ultrafast multi-frame imaging system. We realized three-frame observations of transient surface charge distributions, with a remarkable temporal resolution of 3 ns, during positive primary discharges … Show more
