Abstract
Recent papers show that space charge configurations generated in sever al plasma devices after a self-organization process are able to assure their existence by a proper dynamics during which matter and energy a re exchanged with the environment. This dynamics is macroscopically ev idenced by ordered and disordered time structures observed in the curr ent transported by the gaseous conductor. In this paper we discuss the phenomenological basis of these time structures and its relation to t he modem concepts of nonlinear dynamics. (C) Published by Elsevier Sci ence B.V.
