Waveforms ofthe first negative corona current pulses have been measured in C02 and C02+SF6 mixtures as a function of applied voltage and gas pressure in the range 6�67-66�7 kPa. A complex form of the pulses with a step on the pulse leading edge and a current hump on the pulse trailing part has been found at gas pressures below 40 kPa. Changing the cathode surface material from copper to copper iodide, which has an exceptionally high photoelectric yield, resulted in at least a twofold increase in height of the step on the pulse leading edge, but had little effect on the main current rise to the pulse peak. The use of unconditioned cathodes resulted in the appearance of peculiar current spikes on the pulse tail, which are tentatively attributed to positive-streamer-like instabilities of the cathode sheath. The implications of these results for theories of Trichel pulse formation are discussed, and a physical picture of the phenomenon based on the presumed existence of a cathode-directed streamer associated with the steep pulse rise is outlined.

Abstract:Excitable media, such as nerve, heart and the Belousov-Zhabo- tinsky reaction, exhibit a large excursion from equilibrium in response to a small but finite perturbation. Assuming a one-dimensional ring geometry of sufficient length, excitable media support a periodic wave of circulation. As in the periodic stimulation of oscillations in ordinary differential equations, the effects of periodic stimuli of the periodically circulating wave can be described by a one-dimensional Poincaré map. Depending on the period and intensity of the stimulus as well as its initial phase, either entrainment or termination of the original circulating wave is observed. These phenomena are directly related to clinical observations concerning periodic stimulation of a class of cardiac arrhythmias caused by reentrant wave propagation in the human heart.
