Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-17"> <span style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 20px;"> A mathematical model for microscopic point&hyphen;to&hyphen;plane&nbsp;coronas&nbsp;in the steady&hyphen;state regime has been developed and current&hyphen;potential relations have been derived from the model. The potential and&nbsp;electric field&nbsp;distributions for the region outside of the&nbsp;corona&nbsp;glow are also predicted. The model is applicable for both gaseous and liquid media. Hyperboloid geometry is assumed for the point and a constant&nbsp;mobility&nbsp;model is asumed for the transport of the&nbsp;charge carriers.&nbsp;The derived relation for the functional dependence of the&nbsp;corona&nbsp;current on point potential is shown to be in agreement with experimental data in helium. Empirical values for some of the parameters of the equations are presented for microscopic&nbsp;coronas&nbsp;in gaseous helium. </span></div>
