1.1. Historical Overview and Goals The knowledge that charged particles exist in the
atmosphere dates to the 1700s with Ben Franklin's discovery that the electrical properties of …

Atmospheric pressure plasmas are sources of biologically active oxygen and nitrogen
species, which makes them potentially suitable for the use as biomedical devices. Here …

Chemistry models that include dozens of species and hundreds to thousands of reactions
are common in low-temperature plasma physics. The rate constants used in such models …

This work presents experiments and modelling of OH densities in a radio-frequency driven
atmospheric-pressure plasma in a plane-parallel geometry, operated in helium with small …

The purpose of a plasma chemistry model is prediction of chemical species densities,
including understanding the mechanisms by which such species are formed. These aims …

The rate constants of O−+ N2→ N2O+ e− from 800 K to 1200 K and the reverse process e−+
N2O→ O−+ N2 from 700 K to 1300 K are measured using a flowing afterglow–Langmuir …

We investigate the production and loss rates of in the photochemical equilibrium region of
the Martian ionosphere near the subsolar point. We adopt neutral and ion densities …

Surface interaction probabilities are critical parameters that determine the behaviour of low
pressure plasmas and so are crucial input parameters for plasma simulations that play a key …

Azines are important in many extraterrestrial environments, from the atmosphere of Titan to
the interstellar medium. They have been implicated as possible carriers of the diffuse …

We have measured reaction rate constants for CO+ and CO 2+ reacting with N and O atoms
using a selected ion flow tube apparatus equipped with a microwave discharge atom …
