On the mechanism of branching in negative ionization fronts
M. Arrayas, M. A. Fontelos, J. L. Trueba
We explain a mechanism for branching of a planar negative front. Branching occurs as the result of a balance between the destabilizing effect of impact ionization and the stabilizi…

Power laws and self-similar behavior in negative ionization fronts
Manuel Arrayás, Marco A. Fontelos, José L. Trueba
We study anode-directed ionization fronts in curved geometries. When the magnetic effects can be neglected, an electric shielding factor determines the behavior of the electric fie…
