Numerical results for different versions of the fluid model of an atmospheric-pressure glow discharge in helium are compared. It is shown that efforts to improve the fluid model are to a large extent prospectless and often even impair previous results. This is because the fluid model has...

A method to control negative ion density in SF6/Ar capacitive discharges with a biased grid is proposed. It is observed that the negative ion density and its ratio to positive ion density are variable in a wide range from 2.8×107 to 4×109 cm-3 and from 0.18 to 0.86, respectively,...
