Of course, the dielectric layer can influence the process of the CF expansion, as can be seen from the fact that in the case of the CF expansion above the dielectric, the positive-charge deposition occurs primarily in the front of the ionizing wave, whereas in the case of the CF expansion above the metal, the deposition occurs everywhere below the dense plasma (above the cathode).
