This article reviews a variety of methods to obtain the electron temperature and density by
the emission line ratios for low-temperature plasmas containing argon or nitrogen gas …

This paper reviews the basics of kinetic modelling in low-temperature N 2–O 2 plasmas,
including the strong coupling between electron, vibrational, chemical and surface kinetics …

The kinetic modeling of low-pressure (torr) stationary nitrogen discharges and the
corresponding afterglows is reviewed. It is shown that a good description of the overall …

Air is obligatorily used as a supply gas in most of the plasma-aided processing (eg, plasma-
catalysis) systems because it is the most cost-effective approach, but the simultaneous …

Sprites are large scale manifestations of electrical streamers triggered in the upper
atmosphere by lightning in an underlying thunderstorm. Imaging of sprites at 10 000 frames …

The wide range of applications of cold plasmas originates from their special characteristic of
being a physical system out of thermodynamic equilibrium. This property enhances its …

A kinetic model for a flowing microwave discharge in N 2–O 2 at ω/(2π)= 2450 and 915 MHz,
in the pressure range p= 1–10 Torr, is constructed with the purpose of studying the …

In this paper, dielectric columns with different dielectric constants are employed as dielectric
materials in the packed bed reactor to investigate the dynamic behaviors of plasma …

Catalysis has optimized and improved production rates in many industrial processes.
Conventional catalysis plays a key role in the mass-production of otherwise difficult to obtain …

The flowing afterglow of an N 2–O 2 discharge in the 0.6–10 Torr range is examined in the
perspective of achieving sterilization of medical devices (MDs) under conditions ensuring …
