Аннотация:Experimental data on particle generation in the corona-discharge zone are obtained. The size dis-tribution of these particles is measured as a function of the discharge parameters. The particle-size spectra areshown to slightly depend on the polarity of the corona point and are only determined by the potential differ-ence and current strength. Various materials such as iron, copper, silver, molybdenum, tungsten, and graphiteare the objects studied. The measurements are carried out under normal conditions in various gaseous atmo-spheres such as air, nitrogen, and argon. A theoretical model for the interaction of corona-discharge plasmawith a metal surface is developed. The extraction of atoms from lattice sites supposedly occurs as a result ofcollective excitations of the electron gas in the metals. This theoretical model is based on the resonant exci-tation of a plasmon in the surface layer of a metal upon the inelastic scattering of charged particles of a coronadischarge on the electrons of a metal sample. It is shown using the electrostatic-imaging method that theCoulomb interaction of a negative-charge-density wave on the surface with a surface ion of the crystal latticeis capable of extraction the ion from the metal. The interaction cross section of this process is estimated.These results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental data, which confirms the validity of the cho-sen interaction model.
