Abstract :
Summary form only given. A major challenge in the production of large atmospheric glow plasmas is suppressing the transition to a thermal condition at higher power densities. One mechanism for forming a stable glow at moderate power densities is to sustain the plasma with a drive frequency where the glow exhibits ballasting characteristics that suppress the formation of thermally driven instabilities that lead to transition to a thermal discharge.
