Joule-heating-supported plasma filamentation and branching during subcritical microwave irradiation
Breakdown physics induced by a subcritical microwave was numerically reproduced by using a two-dimensional effective diffusion model for plasma transport and combining it with Maxwell’s equations and a neutral gas dynamics equation. A discrete plasma structure was obtained when E0,rms/Ec≧0.69, where...
