“…In Figure 9a and Figure 9b, 1 0 1 0 1 2 follows in P2 and 1 0 1 1 1 2 patterns observed in the P3 and the pattern continues for the whole signal which signifies the regular MMO patterns in the discharge state at V dc ∼ 370 V. Such patterns indicate the occurrence of ionization instability. [25] On increasing the discharge voltage, the pattern turns significantly irregular at V dc ∼ 400 V, as shown in Figure 10a with 1 0 1 4 1 4 , 1 0 1 5 1 4 , and so on. Such irregular patterns are also observed in the P2 and P3 as shown in Figure 10a, b.…”
