Notes:
Vacuum emission, breakdown, and current–voltage characteristics of a large surface area-to-volume ratio planar dc microdischarge have been measured for different He–Xe mixtures in the range of 10%–100% Xe and pressures in the range of 60–500 Torr. The electrical measurements show that the Paschen breakdown curves and the current–voltage characteristics are primarily controlled by the xenon concentration in the mixture. A study of the vacuum ultraviolet emission of xenon atoms at 147 nm and of xenon dimers at 150 nm normalized to the discharge power reveals the presence of local maxima in the emitted intensity as a function of discharge pressure and xenon concentration, indicative of complex excited-state atomic and excimer kinetic processes. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
