Nonthermal plasmas have emerged as a viable synthesis technique for nanocrystal
materials. Inherently solvent and ligand-free, nonthermal plasmas offer the ability to …

This foundation article discusses the diagnostics of electrons and ions in plasmas and fluxes
of charged and neutral species toward plasma-facing surfaces by non-optical methods. The …

Reactive plasmas are a well-known tool for material synthesis and surface modification.
They offer a unique combination of non-equilibrium electron and ion driven plasma …

Reactive plasmas are highly valued for their ability to produce large amounts of reactive
radicals and of energetic ions bombarding surrounding surfaces. The non-equilibrium …

Optical emission spectroscopy measurements are presented to characterize the different
excitation and ionization processes of both atomic and molecular species in Ar–N2 mixture …

Highly crystalline boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) having multi-walls (≤ 5 walls) and a
small diameter (~ 7 nm) were synthesized using a triple DC thermal plasma reactor with …

A global (volume averaged) model is developed for a nitrogen discharge in the steady state
for the pressure range 1–100 mTorr. The electron energy distribution function is allowed to …

Atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasmas (APPs) are effective source of radicals,
metastables and a variety of ions and photons, ranging into the vacuum UV spectral region …

A comprehensive experimental investigation of absolute ion and neutral species densities in
an inductively coupled H 2-N 2-Ar plasma was carried out. Additionally, the radical and ion …

Optical emission spectroscopy of the active species in N 2 plasma is carried out to
investigate their concentration as a function of discharge parameters such as filling pressure …
