Reactive high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) of a cobalt cathode in pure
argon gas and with different oxygen admixtures was investigated by time-resolved optical …

An Ar plasma sustained by a surfaguide wave launcher is investigated at intermediate
pressure (200–2667 Pa). Two 2D self‐consistent models (quasi‐neutral and plasma bulk …

Abstract The resonance $1 s_4~({\hspace {0pt}}^ 3P_1),~ 1s_2~({\hspace {0pt}}^ 1P_1) $
and metastable $1 s_5~({\hspace {0pt}}^ 3P_2),~ 1s_3~({\hspace {0pt}}^ 3P_0) $ level …

A collisional radiative model for fast estimation and monitoring of atomic oxygen ground and
excited state densities and fluxes in varying Ar: O 2 mixtures is developed and applied in a …

Radiation trapping phenomenon is often observed when investigating low-temperature
plasmas. Photons emitted from the upper excited states may be reabsorbed by the lower …

A surfaguide microwave discharge operating at 2.45 GHz in Ar and Ar-CO 2 mixtures is
studied using diagnostics methods based on optical emission spectroscopy. The population …

Optical emission and absorption spectroscopy has been utilized to investigate the instability
of acetylene-containing dusty plasmas induced by growing nano-particles. The density of Ar …

Iron oxide films were deposited using high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) of
an iron cathode in an argon/oxygen gas mixture at different gas pressures (0.5 Pa, 1.5 Pa …

This study is devoted to the characterization of a 40 MHz RF discharge at 2 Torr pressure in
argon–oxygen mixtures (0–5% O 2 fraction). The electrical characteristics were used to …

Plasma chemical reactions in complex Ar/C 2 H 2 and Ar/C 2 H 2/O 2 radiofrequency
