Deal all,

I'm working on the feasibility study of corona discharge
for micro actuators. However, I couldn't find papers talking
about that phenomena in the micro domain.
I need fundamental equations and experimental data for
point-plane (sharp electrode - plane coated with insulator)
corona system.

AND.. Could anybody explain me what is the different effect
on the insulator between field emission and corona discharge?
I think in both case ions (or electrodes) can stick to the insulator.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
