Abstract
A dielectric barrier discharge device for generating a plasma discharge is disclosed. The device includes a first electrode, a second electrode separated from the first electrode, and a dielectric material disposed between the two electrodes. Each electrode has a first end, a first surface, and a second surface. The first end of the first electrode is disposed proximate to the first end of the second electrode. The first end of the first electrode comprises a set of saw-tooth features disposed between the surfaces configured to stabilize location of streamers of the plasma discharge upon generation thereof.
