In complex plasmas, dust particles are charged through their interactions with the electrons
and ions of the surrounding plasma. In low-temperature laboratory plasmas, dust particles …

In this paper we present a systematic study of the gas breakdown potentials. An analysis of
the key elementary processes in low-current low-pressure discharges is given, with an aim …

This paper reports gas breakdown characteristics in microgaps with multiple concentric
protrusions on the cathode in the transition from the Townsend to the subnormal glow …

Atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasmas are often utilized to perform particle
synthesis, treatment, and removal. It is well-known that dust particles are highly negatively …

In this work, charge control of micro-particles from∼− 40 to+ 10 elementary charges is
presented. This is achieved at 0.9 mbar argon in the spatial afterglow of an inductively …

Discharging of dust particles in an argon plasma afterglow is investigated using different
approaches. First, the dust charge distribution function (DCDF) is obtained by solving …

The influence of diffusive losses on residual dust charge in a complex plasma afterglow has
been investigated. The residual charge distribution was measured and exhibits a mean …

This paper discusses the growth of nanoparticles in capacitively and inductively coupled
radio-frequency plasmas operated in hydrocarbon gases and the back-reaction of particles …

Over the past decade the use of ICCD cameras as a means for characterizing non-
equilibrium plasmas has been steadily increasing. Due to their high sensitivity and high …

The use of silicon nanoparticles for lithium-ion batteries requires a precise control over both
their average size and their size distribution. Particles larger than the generally accepted …
