TLDR
In this paper, a collection of individual works on electrical discharges is presented, including fundamental processes in the electrical breakdown of gases, vacuum breakdown, spark breakdown in uniform fields, corona discharge, and burst in non-uniform fields.Abstract:
A collection of individual works on electrical discharges is presented. Topics covered include: fundamental processes in the electrical breakdown of gases; vacuum breakdown; spark breakdown in uniform fields; corona discharge; spark breakdown in non-uniform fields; breakdown voltage characteristics; irradiation and time lags; high-frequency breakdown of gases; laser-induced electrical breakdown of gases; spark channels; and electrode phenomena.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Actuators for Flow Control
TL;DR: A particular type of plasma actuator that has gained wide use is based on a single-dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) mechanism that has desirable features for use in air at atmospheric pressures as mentioned in this paper.

Electrostatic Charging Due to Separation of Ions at Interfaces: Contact Electrification of Ionic Electrets
TL;DR: This Review proposes--as a still-unproved hypothesis--that this ion-transfer mechanism may also explain the ubiquitous contact electrification ("static electricity") of materials, such as organic polymers, that do not explicitly have ions at their surface.
