Stationary self-organized patterns of cathodic spots have been observed in DC glow microdischarges in xenon1. Recently, such patterns have been obtained in the numerical modelling2: multiple steady-state solutions have been found for the same discharge current, some of these solutions describing modes with a normal spot and other describing modes with several spots, which are qualitatively similar...
