Numerical and experimental study of the dynamics of a μs helium plasma gun discharge with various amounts of N2 admixture (2016, methodology): “The absorption coefficient of the ionizing radiation kph is assumed to depend on the level of nitrogen admixture as σ=k N Xph N ph2 , where for the photoionization cross section a typical value of σ = × −3 10 cmph 17 2 is assumed as in Naidis (2010).”
Dynamics of a guided streamer (‘plasma bullet’) in a helium jet in air at atmospheric pressure (2013, methodology): “Naidis (2010) showed that the electric field required for streamer propagation in air is 4–5 times that needed for propagation in helium and that the streamers are prevented from branching because the electric fields are too low to enable propagation in the air surrounding the helium jet.”
