Micrometre-scale analytical devices are more attractive than their macroscale counterparts
for various reasons. For example, they use smaller volumes of reagents and are therefore …

Since the inception of mass spectrometry more than a century ago, the field has matured as
analytical capabilities have progressed, instrument configurations multiplied, and …

An overview of the activities of the research groups that have been involved in fabrication,
development and characterization of microplasmas for chemical analysis over the last few …

An update to the article “Dielectric-barrier Discharges: Their History, Discharge Physics, and
Industrial Applications” by Ulrich Kogelschatz from 2003 is given. The research and …

Similarity theory and scaling laws determine how physical laws remain the same when
control parameters are changed, which is essential for the correlation, prediction, and …

An atmospheric pressure microplasma jet is developed for depositing homogeneous thin
films from C 2 H 2⁠. The adjustment of the gas flow through the microplasma jet assures …

A novel direct current glow discharge sustained in helium at atmospheric pressure has been
developed. Current–voltage behavior and spectroscopic characteristics strongly suggest …

The present review reflects the importance of dielectric barrier discharges for optical
spectrometric detection in analytical chemistry. In contrast to usual discharges with a direct …

Atomic spectrometry remains one of the most powerful methods for the determination of the
elements and their compounds in a wide variety of types of samples and in widely differing …

Abstract Direct-current, atmospheric-pressure, glow discharge (dc-APGD) generated in
contact with flowing sample solutions is a new, very promising excitation source for …
