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 …

Since the 1980s, functionalized plasma polymer films have attracted a considerable
attention owing to their promising utilization in a wide range of modern applications. For …

The effluent of a microscale atmospheric pressure plasma jet (μ-APPJ) operated in helium
with a small admixture of molecular oxygen (< 1.6%) has been analyzed by means of two …

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 …

Plasma processing is one of the key technologies worldwide, especially using nonthermal,
low-temperature plasmas. Recently, the situation is characterized by the fast-growing …

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 …

Small carbon clusters (C n, n= 2− 15) are produced in a molecular beam by pulsed laser
vaporization and studied with vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization mass spectrometry …

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 …

Ambient molecular beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) has been used to study how different
capillary widths (530 µm and 2.4 mm) and excitation waveforms (continuous wave kHz and …

A plasma needle is a radio-frequency (rf) micro-discharge operated in a mixture of helium
and air at atmospheric pressure. This source is designed for medical treatment of living …
