Physical processes of GDV image formation

Physical processes of image formation during gas-discharge visualization (the Kirlian effect)

Physical processes of GDV image formation (Review)

Abstract

A survey is made of previously published and original results on physical processes which determine Kirlian-effect visualization. Three types of gas-discharge visualization (GDV) are considered: (1) avalanche GDV, at atmospheric pressure and small discharge gaps; (2) surface GDV, at atmospheric pressure and a discharge sliding along the surface of a dielectric; and (3) ‘vacuum’ GDV, at reduced pressure and relatively large discharge gaps (of the order of a centimeter). The possibilities of the practical application of these techniques are assessed, and specific recommendations on their use are given.
