“…Therefore, the working medium was considered as consisting of two subsystems, electrons and molecular species (HgBr 2 , HgBr(B), HgBr(X), Br, Hg, and Br 2 ). The electron-energy distribution functions (EEDFs), ( ) ε f , were calculated for di electric barrier discharges (DBDs) in different mixtures including HgBr 2 /He [9], HgBr 2 /N 2 /He [8] HgBr 2 /Kr/He [12], and HgBr 2 /Ne [11]. In most cases, the logarithms of the EEDFs decreased approximately linearly with increasing ε from 0 to 25 eV.…”
