The 2022 Plasma Roadmap: low temperature plasma science and technology
Journal of Physics D Applied Physics · 2022 · 497 citations
1st authorCorrespondingAbstract The 2022 Roadmap is the next update in the series of Plasma Roadmaps published by Journal of Physics D with the intent to identify important outstanding challenges in the field of low-temperature plasma (LTP) physics and technology. The format of the Roadmap is the same as the previous Roadmaps representing the visions of 41 leading experts representing 21 countries and five continents in the various sub-fields of LTP science and technology. In recognition of the evolution in the field,…

Abstract In this work, the propagation of the surface ionization wave (SIW) in the nanosecond pulsed surface dielectric barrier discharge with different dielectric materials and pulse repetition rates is investigated. The current waveforms at different locations along the route of the SIW propagation are obtained, based on a specially designed ground strip array geometry. The temporal evolution and spatial distribution of the electric field during the SIW propagation are measured by using the el…
Measurements of electric field in an atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet by the E-FISH method
Plasma Sources Science and Technology · 2020 · 67 citations
Senior authorCorrespondingAbstract Temporal and spatial distributions of the electric field in an atmospheric pressure, ns pulse, positive and negative polarity helium plasma jets are measured by ps electric field induced second harmonic generation. The measurements have been done in a quasi-two-dimensional plasma jet impinging on liquid water, using a laser sheet and a focused laser beam positioned at different heights above the water surface. Absolute calibration of the electric field is obtained by measuring a known L…
Availability and reactivity of N<sub>2</sub>(v) for NH<sub>3</sub> synthesis by plasma catalysis
Plasma Sources Science and Technology · 2023-11-29 · 22 citations
articleOpen accessAbstract Production of vibrationally excited N 2 (N 2 ( v )) in atmospheric pressure nonthermal plasma and loss of N 2 ( v ) by gas-phase reactions and reactions on catalytic surfaces are analyzed to examine the role of N 2 ( v ) in NH 3 formation by plasma catalysis. Vibrational state-to-state kinetic models complemented with molecular beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) measurements demonstrate that N 2 ( v > 0) is produced with densities 100× greater than the density of N radicals by a radiofreq…
Plasma Sources Science and Technology · 2023-12-19 · 15 citations
articleOpen accessAbstract Atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) are increasingly being used to functionalize polymers and dielectric materials for biomedical and biotechnology applications. Once such application is microfluidic labs-on-a-chip consisting of dielectric slabs with microchannel grooves hundreds of microns in width and depth. The periodic channels, an example of a complex surface, present challenges in terms of directly and uniformly exposing the surface to the plasma. In this paper, we discuss re…
