4.1 Introduction
Microscale plasmas are a special class of electrical discharges formed in geometries where at least one dimension is reduced to submillimeter length scales. 1 As a result of their unique pD (where p is pressure and D is the smallest physical dimension) scaling, microplasmas are characterized by high-pressure stability,2 non-equilibrium thermodynamics, ...
