Abstract
The discharge physics and plasma chemistry of dielectric barrier disch arges (silent discharges) is discussed. Numerical models describing el ectrical breakdown, microdischarge formation and the ensuing free radi cal chemistry are presented. Applications ranging from ozone generatio n, excimer UV lamps and CO2 lasers to surface treatment and pollution control are described. Experimental and modelling results on CO2 hydro genation in dielectric barrier discharges are also presented.
