By using a tungsten wire with 75-/spl mu/m diameter, 2 cm apart from a plane cathode, and applying a 600-ns, 120-kV square wave pulse, we were able to obtain a pulsed-water corona discharge (PWC). The ...

In order to explore the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) with pulses, which are of the order of the charging time of bacterial membranes, we have studied the effect of 45 ns pulses on the ...
