This paper describes the recent progress in understanding the nature of striations in rare
gas plasmas. Striations are ionization waves with unique properties determined by transport …

In low temperature plasmas, the interaction of the electrons with the electric field is an
important current research topic that is relevant for many applications. Particularly, in the low …

Two classic radio-frequency (RF) plasmas, ie, the capacitively and the inductively coupled
plasmas (CCP and ICP), are widely employed in material processing, eg, etching and thin …

This paper illustrates the application of particle simulation methods for the description of low-
pressure discharges: Townsend discharges, cathode fall dominated dc glows and …

This article presents an overview of recent advances in the field of electron kinetics in low-
temperature plasmas (LTPs). It also provides author's views on where the field is headed …

We developed and tested 2D “extended fluid model” of a dc glow discharge using COMSOL
MULTIPHYSICS software and implemented two different approaches. First, assembling the …

This paper describes an Adaptive Mesh and Algorithm Refinement (AMAR) methodology for
multi-scale simulations of gas flows and the challenges associated with extending this …

Three models for nonlocal electron thermal transport are here compared against Vlasov-
Fokker-Planck (VFP) codes to assess their accuracy in situations relevant to both inertial …

The electron power absorption dynamics in radio frequency driven micro atmospheric
pressure capacitive plasma jets are studied based on experimental phase resolved optical …

We developed and tested a simple hybrid model for a glow discharge, which incorporates
nonlocal ionization by fast electrons into the “simple” and “extended” fluid frameworks …
