The results of experimental study of the characteristics of high-voltage nanosecond discharge between electrodes of polycrystalline argyrodite (Ag8GeS6) in air at different pressures (p = 7-101 kPa) and different frequencies of voltage pulses are presented. The introduction of vapors of the electrode material into the dis-charge plasma occurred as a result of the ectonic mechanism. High spatial uniformity of the discharge was ignited by preliminary ionization of the discharge gap with a beam of runaway electrons and the accompanying soft X-ray radiation. The spatial and spectral characteristics of the discharge were studied at a distance between the electrodes of 2 mm. The optimal conditions for the deposition of thin films based on the superionic conductor Ag8GeS6 compound from the discharge plasma onto a solid substrate installed near the electrode system are established. The synthesized thin films may find applications in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors.
