Evolution of the forward and the reflected ionization waves

Caption

Evolution of the forward (a) and the reflected (b) ionization waves approaching and reflecting from the conductive dielectric surface. The ionization wave front is represented in the simulations by electron impact ionization source Se (cm-3s-1). The arrows indicate the direction of the IW propagation. Density of O-radicals (c), ozone O3 (d) and singlet delta O2(1Δ) (d) after the passage of forward, reflected, and secondary forward IWs.
