Ionization driven phase change

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of utilizing the repulsive force between negatively ionized particles to induce a phase change from liquid to plasma. The user, Tay, inquires about applying a voltage from a flyback transformer to a liquid substance within a vacuum to achieve this transition. The concept of ionization is confirmed as the relevant process, indicating that the application of sufficient voltage can indeed facilitate this phase change. Further exploration of ionization techniques and their practical applications is suggested for deeper understanding.

Greetings,
I've been searching online without success for information related to the process (name?) Of utilizing the repusive force between negatively ionized particles to facilitate a change of phase from liquid to plasma.
I would like to be able to take a substance in liquid form inside a vacuum, apply a voltage from say, a flyback transformer to the liquid and have the liquid transition to a plasma.

I would appreciate some feedback of its feasability or links to more information on the subject.

Thanks a bunch,
-Tay

Isn't that just called ionization?
