Abstract

Abstract: The pulsed discharge mode of SF₆-C₂H₆ mixtures was investigated using plane electrode configuration assisted with pre-ionization spark array on the cathode. The results show that self-sustained volume discharge (SSVD) and arc discharge could occur and transform for different discharge conditions. The SSVD current waveform is influenced significantly by charging voltage and pressure instead of the gas mixture ratio and capacitance. The peak of SSVD current relates positively to charging voltage, while negatively to gas pressure, which indicates that synchronous electron avalanches initiated from cathode by the sliding spark and overlapped spatially into SSVD and thus SSVD is essentially Townsend discharge with a avalanche.

Key words: Non-chain HF laser, SF6-C2H6 mixtures, Self-sustained volume discharge, Avalanche ionization

摘要： 采用面阵滑闪火花预电离诱导的平行板放电结构，研究了SF6-C2H6混合气体中的脉冲放电模式，确认了不同放电条件下存在自持体放电(SSVD)和电弧放电两种模式，且两种模式可以互相转化。SSVD模式放电电流波形主要由电容电压和气压决定，气体混合比和储能电容值对其影响很小。SSVD电流峰值随电容电压增加基本线性增加，随气压增加线性减小，分析表明这一特性是因为SSVD是由多个同步电子雪崩在时空上叠加而成，属于a过程主导的电子雪崩放电。
