According to recent research from Nasr City, Egypt, "Homogeneous atmospheric pressure discharge using a dielectric barrier discharge in air at 50 Hz was investigated. Porous alumina ceramic sheets were used as a dielectric barrier."
"In this paper we compare the filamentary discharge initiated by using glass sheets as a dielectric and the glow discharge obtained by the porous alumina sheets as a dielectric. Generally, the discharge in a dielectric barrier arrangement consists of a large number of filaments. Using porous alumina sheets Al2O3, an atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) plasma has been obtained. This APGD discharge is characterized by a ...
