This paper provides perspectives on recent progress in understanding the physics of
devices in which the external magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the discharge …

Incorporation of realistic models of plasma-electrode interaction remains a bottleneck in the
development of predictive models of devices with high-pressure arcs. The most important …

In this work, on the basis of a unified model from the point of view of describing the gas
discharge gap and electrodes for 2D geometry, numerical calculations were carried out to …

In DC plasma spray torches, anode erosion is a common concern. It mainly depends on the
heat flux brought by the arc and on the dimensions and residence time of the arc attachment …

A self-consistent unified model of direct current (DC) gas discharges in molecular gases
describing the processes both in the discharge gap and in the electrodes is developed …

The paper gives an overview of the influence of the description of the electron transport
properties on the characteristics of a DC microplasma in argon at atmospheric pressure. A …

Abstract Analysis of the plasma parameters of a tungsten-inert gas microarc with a length of
0.4 mm is carried out by means of a unified one-dimensional model. The model solves the …

The near-cathode region plays a crucial role in exploring the transport characteristics of the
transition from arc column to the hot cathode in atmospheric-pressure arc discharges …

A short atmospheric pressure argon arc is studied numerically and analytically. In a short arc
with an inter-electrode gap of several millimeters, non-equilibrium effects in plasma play an …

Unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBMS) is used to deposit mechanical and optical
coatings due to the advantages of high deposition rate and low pollution level, but the low …
