A feature of fusion plasma rf discharges is the formation of near-wall volume-space charges (VSC) of positive ions. Nonlinear properties of VSC layers exert a determining influence on the rf discharge characteristics. The rf discharge includes the inductive and capacitive elements of the power input into the plasma, i.e. it is a hybrid discharge.
