Atmospheric pressure air plasmas are often thought to be in local thermodynamic
equilibrium owing to fast interspecies collisional exchange at high pressure. This …

In recent decades particular interest in applications of nonequilibrium plasma for the
problems of plasma-assisted ignition and plasma-assisted combustion has been observed …

Initiation of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an important issue in cancer treatment
as cancer cells frequently have acquired the ability to block apoptosis and thus are more …

The synthesis of nanoparticles by means of electrical discharges between two electrodes in
an inert gas at atmospheric pressure, as driven by a constant current ranging from a few …

Optical diagnostics are between the most commonly used tools for the characterization of
plasmas and for the better understanding of physical and chemical processes controlling …

There is increasing interest in atmospheric pressure glow discharges APGDs largely
because they can be used for a wide range of material processing applications without the …

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is used to measure the number density of N2 (A3Σ
u+) metastables produced by nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in nitrogen and air …

The present work used a near-infrared methane cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS)
sensor to examine performance and limitations of open-path CRDS for atmospheric …

This article illustrates a variety of direct current and pulsed glow discharges obtained either
in ambient or preheated (2000 K) air or nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. The images …

Several variations of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) have been developed for
nondamaging living-tissue sterilization and blood coagulation. This so-called floating …
