Plasma technology is actively used for nanoparticle synthesis and modification. All plasma
techniques share the ambition of providing high quality, nanostructured materials with full …

A 2D two-temperature chemical non-equilibrium model considering both cathode and anode
space-charge sheath is applied to investigate the plasma–electrode interaction in a laminar …

Fluid dynamics simulations of melting and crater formation at the surface of a copper
cathode exposed to high plasma heat fluxes and pressure gradients are presented. The …

Graphite ablation by an electric arc or a laser/solar flux is widely used for the synthesis of
carbon nanomaterials. Previously, it was observed in multiple arc experiments that the …

Ablation of a graphite anode by an arc is used to produce nanoparticles. The flow of the
ablated carbon particles hampers access of plasma ions to the anode sheath. While the …

An arc with ablating graphite anode is used to produce nanoparticles. At the high anode
temperatures taking place in the arc, graphite sublimates almost exclusively in the form of …

The liquid metal bridge generated at the microspot of the contact has a crucial role in the
formation of the arc, which provides the initial energy distribution for the ignition of the arc …

Calculation of thermodynamic properties and air transport properties at 19 pressures and a
temperature range from 300 to 100,000 K and calculation of argon properties at atmospheric …

In the atmospheric pressure anodic carbon arc, ablation of the anode serves as a feedstock
of carbon for production of nanomaterials. It is known that the ablation of the graphite anode …

A graphite anode ablates in an arc system producing nanoparticles. Experiments show that
the ablation rate increases sharply when the current density at the anode exceeds some …
