Abstract
The structure and voltage-current characteristic of a negative-corona generation zone are analyzed for the cases of cylindrical and spherica l electrodes. Using the Engel-Steenbeck model for the cathode sheath o f glow discharge we have shown the presence of a minimum in the voltag e-current characteristic curve of a corona ionization zone and have re vealed a dependence of the current density at the minimum upon cathode geometry.
