Abstract
A volumetric plasma can be generated between first and second electrodes. The first and second electrodes can be spaced from each other by a gap. The first electrode can comprise a first base layer and a plurality of first projecting portions that extend along a first direction from the first base layer toward the second electrode. The first base layer can comprise a first electrically-conductive material. At least some of the first projecting portions can comprise a second electrically-conductive material. A melting temperature for the first electrically-conductive material and a melting temperature for the second electrically-conductive material can be at least 1000 K. During the generating, a temperature of the volumetric plasma between the first and second electrodes can be in a range of 1000-8000 K, inclusive.
