  • Publication number: 20160298237
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma electrode including: an electrode main body having a discharge surface on the outer circumference surface thereof, the interior of the electrode main body having a magnet disposed therein for forming a tunnel-shaped magnetic field on the discharge surface; and ground members which face at least a portion of the discharge surface with a gap therebetween and face each other so as to sandwich the electrode main body therebetween. The discharge surface surrounds the outer circumference of the electrode main body, either with or without a gap interposed therebetween.
