A nonequal current transient effect exists in the Trichel pulse discharge. By reducing the limiting current resistance, the simulated current waveforms of Trichel pulse discharge are qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with those in the experiment. The dominant positive ions vary at different stages, which originate from the evolution of dominant reactions for the generation and consumption of charged particles. The existence of positive and negative charged layers results in the attenuation of the electric field at the rising edge of the Trichel pulse. The formation of the Trichel pulse originates from the changes in spatial charge density, resulting in alterations in the spatial electric field and ionization rate.","PeriodicalId":20135,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Processes and Polymers","volume":"143 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139475568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Changes in bacterial viability, metabolic activity, membrane integrity, intracellular reactive oxygen species level, and cell morphology reveal different patterns of cellular damage of the bacteria. Our results emphasize the importance of cell membrane integrity and maintenance of intracellular redox balatnce to resist plasma treatment. The physicochemical properties of the plasma-treated liquid (PTL) are monitored.
