Thanks to their portability and the non‐equilibrium character of the discharges,
microplasmas are finding application in many scientific disciplines. Although microplasma …

Low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma (produced by a 250 mW pulsed gliding arc
discharge) with water spray was utilized to inactivate bacteria colonies of Escherichia coli …

The sterilization of medical equipment was performed using low-pressure RF discharge
plasma. Oxygen radicals as oxidizing materials for sterilization were produced from oxygen …

Optical emission spectroscopy was applied for the characterization of inductively coupled
RF oxygen plasma at pressures between 10 and 300Pa. The plasma was generated with an …

This article reports on the performance of a miniature APGD‐t conceived for the production
of reactive species participating in bio‐applications. Two operating parameters were varied …

Plasma interactions with biologically derived compounds and materials as well as with live
organisms, including proteins, DNA, infectious agents, single microbial cells and viruses …

In this study, we attempted to characterize the biomolecular effects of an atmospheric-
pressure cold plasma (APCP) system which utilizes helium/oxygen $(He/O_2) $. APCP …

Actinometry is a non-invasive optical technique that can be used to quantitatively monitor
atomic oxygen number densities [O] in gas discharges under certain operating conditions …

Transition metal nitride coatings are used in electronics industry as a diffusion barrier
coating. In the present study, tantalum nitride thin films were coated at room temperature …

Low pressure capacitively coupled He–O 2/Ar mixture plasma is investigated using optical
emission spectroscopy and Langmuir probe (LP) techniques and the effects of discharge …
