Abstract :
The effect of temperature on the visual and electrical characteristics of the microdischarges generated inside porous alumina ceramics is presented. The temperature was found affecting discharge onset voltage, current pulse amplitudes, and other discharge properties. The increase in temperature caused the onset voltage to decrease and the current pulse amplitudes to increase. The uniformity of the discharge distribution was also improved by the temperature increase.
