Abstract

A one-dimensional self-consistent fluid numerical model was developed to study the ignition characteristics of a pulse-modulated (PM) radio-frequency (RF) glow discharge in atmospheric helium assisted by a sub-microsecond voltage excited pulsed discharge. The temporal evolution of discharge current density and electron density during PM RF discharge burst was investigated to demonstrate the discharge ignition characteristics with or without the pulsed discharge. Under the assistance of pulsed discharge, the electron density in RF discharge burst reaches the magnitude of 1.87×10¹⁷ m⁻³ within 10 RF cycles, accompanied by the formation of sheath structure. It proposes that the pulsed discharge plays an important role in the ignition of PM RF discharge burst. Furthermore, the dynamics of PM RF glow discharge are demonstrated by the spatiotemporal evolution of the electron density with and without pulsed discharge. The spatial profiles of electron density, electron energy and electric field at specific time instants are given to explain the assistive role of the pulsed discharge on PM RF discharge ignition.
