The challenges and benefits of microwave-induced microdischarges are reviewed.
Transmission lines, resonators and surface wave launchers may be used for coupling …

A brush-shaped, large-volume plasma was generated at ambient pressure with a dc power
supply and flowing argon gas, as well as a narrow outlet slit. Based on the V–I curve and …

Technical plasmas have a wide range of industrial applications. The Encyclopedia of
Plasma Technology covers all aspects of plasma technology from the fundamentals to a …

Experiments observed that the pulse duty cycle has effects on the plasma homogeneity in
pulse-modulated radio frequency (rf) discharges. In this paper, pulse-modulated rf (13.56 …

Plasmas at atmospheric pressure are vulnerable to ionization overheating instability
followed by a destructive glow-to-arc transition (GAT) as power density increases. We report …

Ambient ionization techniques enable ion production in the native sample environment for
mass spectrometry, without a need for sample preparation or separation. These techniques …

In this paper, a spontaneous self-organized pattern in atmospheric pressure barrier
discharge driven by pulse-modulated radio frequency (rf) power is reported with the help of …

The art and science of microwave plasma (MWP) optical and mass spectroscopy is briefly
presented including very recent advances in the field up to 2015. The use of MWPs as …

An atmospheric pressure argon plasma was generated using a magnetic loop antenna with
a pulse modulated ultrahigh frequency signal of 850 MHz. Finite-element simulations were …

A device for formation of an ultrahigh frequency atmospheric pressure plasma jet is
presented. A nonthermal stable argon plasma jet was formed at the frequency of 850 MHz at …
