Abstract
Dynamics of steady and unsteady operation of inductive discharges with attaching gases was studied. An instability can be described by a global model that consists of time-dependent equations for the electrons, ions, and electron temperature. The model qualitatively agrees with experimental observations. The analytic results indicate that the range of unstable behavior with varying power increases as the ratio of wall flux to recombination flux increases.
