Gas discharge and dielectric insulation represent critical research domains at the intersection of physics and electrical engineering. From a physical perspective, gas discharge encompasses intricate phenomena such as ionization processes, plasma dynamics, and electron motion within the medium. This process involves fundamental mechanisms including collisions, ionization events, and the recombination of free electrons with gas molecules. Dielectric insulation is related to the electrical properties of materials, dielectric loss, and their behavior under high-voltage conditions; moreover, the dielectric breakdown process is characterized by electron movement, ionization phenomena, and the impact of internal material defects. A comprehensive investigation into these phenomena will enhance our understanding of their underlying physical principles while providing a robust theoretical foundation for the design, operation, and maintenance of electrical equipment.
The study aims to deeply explore key issues in gas discharge and dielectric insulation, with the following objectives:
1. Analysis of Gas Discharge Mechanisms: A systematic examination of the discharge behavior exhibited by various gases under electric field influence, focusing on key physical processes such as gas ionization and energy transfer.
2. Characterization of Dielectric Performance: Comprehensive electrical characterization of dielectric materials will be undertaken to measure and analyze critical parameters including dielectric constant, dielectric loss, breakdown strength, etc.
3. Investigation of Breakdown Mechanisms: An enhanced understanding of the breakdown process in dielectrics subjected to high electric fields will be pursued by analyzing factors such as electron multiplication, ionization phenomena, material defects, and establishing corresponding theoretical models for predicting insulation performance across diverse operational conditions.
4. Exploration of Plasma State Physical Characteristics: A systematic exploration will be conducted regarding the energy distribution, motion dynamics, and interaction mechanisms among electrons, ions, and neutral particles during plasma discharge to elucidate the fundamental physical characteristics.
The Research Topic of gas discharge and dielectric insulation covers a wide range of areas within the field of interdisciplinary physics. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Mechanisms and characteristics of gas discharge phenomena
2. Performance and effects of gas discharge under different dielectric conditions
