Metallic alloys are, by essence, ductile and stiff and can support loads without sudden
rupture. This ductility becomes a disadvantage when applications require wear resistance …

In order to characterize a nonequilibrium molecular plasma from the point of view of
translational, vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom and their interaction, the …

Active screen (AS) is an advanced technology for plasma surface engineering, which offers
some advantages over conventional direct current (DC) plasma treatments. Such surface …

The present report is devoted to the study of distinct ionization waves in terms of temporally-,
spatially-, and wavelength-resolved analyses. The study is based on the technique of two …

Spectroscopic studies of microwave discharges in H 2–Ar–B 2 H 6 gas mixtures (f= 2.45
GHz, P= 1.2–3.5 kW, p= 1–8 mbar) have been performed to improve the possibilities of …

Active screen plasma nitriding (ASPN) was conceived in order to reduce negative effects
observed in direct current plasma nitriding arising from the application of bias to the …

The nonequilibrium state of gas is introduced as a medium suitable for tailoring the surface
properties of solid materials. Such a state of a molecular gas is characterized by a huge …

The active screen (AS) nitriding is an advanced technology for the plasma nitriding of steel
components providing a number of advantages over conventional plasma nitriding …

This work concerns two stages of research into plasma nitriding (change of nitriding steel
and modification of nitriding parameters). In the first stage, pins obtained from currently used …

The density of O and H atoms have been measured by emission spectroscopy and by
catalytic probes in a flowing post-discharge reactor. In the post-discharge reactor at 1 torr …
