Self-generated magnetic fields are produced in high-intensity laser-plasma experiments from several mechanisms, including relativistic electron currents and misaligned density and temperature gradients (the Biermann Battery effect). Understanding the formation and timescales of these magnetic fields is important in several high energy density regimes ranging from astrophysical jets to the fast...

Dielectric barrier discharge is a well-known device for its diffuse discharge capability at atmospheric pressure. In a plane parallel configuration (2 mm gas width) with solid alumina dielectrics on each electrode, a diffuse discharge will occur under proper conditions. It is the case when the driving voltage is a sinusoidal waveform oscillating at 25 kHz and the feed gas is a Penning mixture...
