Influence of electron backflow on discharge asymmetry in atmospheric helium dielectric barrier discharges

In this paper, the transition mechanisms between symmetric and asymmetric discharges in atmospheric helium dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are investigated via a one-dimensional fluid model. By gradually increasing the gap width, a complete evolution trajectory of the discharge states (i.e. fro...
