Nonlinear behavior of glow discharge plasmas is experimentally investigated. The glow is generated between a barrier semiconductor electrode, Chromium doped namely Gallium Arsenide (GaAs: Cr), as a cathode and an Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass electrode as an anode, in reverse bias. The planar nature of electrodes provides symmetry in spatial geometry. The discharge behaves oscillatory in the time domain, with single and sometimes multiperiodicities in plasma current and voltage characteristics. In this paper, harmonic frequency generation and transition to chaotic behavior is investigated. The observed current-voltage characteristics of the discharge are discussed in detail.

Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision Method for Simulation of RF Glow Discharges: Effect of Super Particle Weighting
ERDEN, E.; Rafatov, İsmail (Wiley, 2014-08-01)
A parallel Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) numerical code for glow discharge plasma simulations is developed and verified. This method is based on simultaneous solution of the Lorentz equations of motion of super particles, coupled with the Poisson's equation for electric field. Collisions between the particles are modelled by the Monte Carlo method. Proper choice of particle weighting is critically important in order to perform adequate and efficient PIC simulations of plasma. Herein, effe...
On the modelling of a nonequilibrium spherical microwave discharge at atmospheric pressure
Rafatov, İsmail (Wiley, 2007-01-01)
The work presents results of calculation of a spherical microwave discharge characteristics in an argon at atmospheric pressure against the external parameters (the mode, frequency and power of the applied electromagnetic field and the size of the discharge chamber). Model assumes a thermal and ionization non-equilibrium of discharge plasma and takes into account first three modes of incident electromagnetic waves. Calculation results are compared with the results for the ionization equilibrium model. (c) 2...
The influence of a longitudinal magnetic fields on a non-uniform positive column
Akbar, D.; Bilikmen, S. (Wiley, 2007-01-01)
The variations of plasma parameters of a dc discharge in a non-uniform magnetized plasma were measured using fast floating double Langmuir probes. A solenoid is used to produce a uniform magnetic field parallel to the discharge axis. The axial changes of the plasma parameters are presented in the range of longitudinal magnetic fields 200 to 600 Gauss at the pressure range 0.3 to 2.1 Torr and discharge currents 5 and 15 mA in argon gas. The experimental results indicate that, as a consequence of the axial ma...
Space-charge-limited currents and photoconductive properties of Tl2InGaSe4 layered crystals
QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01)
The extrinsic electronic parameters of Tl2InGaSe4 layered crystals were investigated through measurement of the temperature-dependent dark conductivity, space-charge-limited currents and photoconductivity. Analysis of the dark conductivity reveals the existence of two extrinsic energy levels at 0.40 and 0.51 eV below the conduction band edge, which are dominant above and below 260 K, respectively. Current-voltage characteristics show that the one at 0.51 eV is a trapping energy level with a concentration of...
Numerical evidence of spontaneous division of dissipative solitons in a planar gas discharge-semiconductor system
Rafatov, İsmail (AIP Publishing, 2019-09-01)
This work deals with the formation of patterns of spatially localized solitary objects in a planar semiconductor gas-discharge system with a high Ohmic electrode. These objects, known as dissipative solitons, are generated in this system in the form of self-organized current filaments, which develop from the homogeneous stationary state by the Turing bifurcation. The numerical model reveals, for the first time, evidence of spontaneous division of the current filaments in this system, similar to that observe...
