DOI: 10.1088/0022-3727/44/41/415203http://hdl.handle.net/10400.13/4540Stability of different axially symmetric modes of current transfer in dc glow discharges is investigated in the framework of the linear stability theory with the use of Comsol Multiphysics software. Conditions of current-controlled microdischarges in xenon are treated as an example. Both real and complex eigenvalues have been detected, meaning that perturbations can vary with time both monotonically and with oscillations. In general, results given by the linear stability theory confirm intuitive concepts developed in the literature and conform to the experiment. On the other hand, suggestions are provided for further experimental and theoretical work.engStability of dc glow dischargesdc glow dischargesComsol Multiphysics software.Faculdade de Ciências Exatas e da Engenhariajournal article10.1088/0022-3727/44/41/415203
