Effect of a small admixture of hydrogen on Lamp Characteristics of Xe Barrier Discharge Excimer Lamps

摘要

Simulations of Xe/H_2 dielectric barrier discharges were performed using a one-dimensional fluid model. In the spatio-temporal profiles of electron concentration, the peak of the concentration was observed during a half cycle. Therefore it is considered that a pulsed discharge was formed. Effect of a small admixture (～ 1%) of hydrogen on Xe lamp characteristics was also examind.
