To maintain the desired vapor pressure in the chamber, perhaps the rest of the chamber could be filled with inert gas prior to delivering the decaborane to the anode tip. In any case, since cleaning the electrodes looks like next to impossible, minimizing the deposition seems like the way to go.
I don’t think that this would be possible. Correct me if I’m wrong here but it would seem that any inert gas introduced will either pollute the plasma or hinder plasma formation. Additionally, the decaborane gas would be distributed throughout the chamber nearly instantly upon introduction. I also imagine timing difficulties as the fuel would need to be introduced at the exact moment of the pinch in a precise volume.
