This paper attempts to give an overview of gas discharge plasmas in a broad perspective. It
is meant for plasma spectroscopists who are familiar with analytical plasmas (glow …

This review is on discharges maintained by travelling waves: new plasma sources,
discovered in 1974 and considered as a prototype of the gas discharges according to their …

A portable microwave plasma torch at atmospheric pressure by making use of magnetrons
operated at 2.45 GHz and used in a home microwave oven has been developed. This …

Plasma columns sustained at high enough gas pressures undergo radial contraction as
manifested by their glow not entirely filling the radial cross-section of the discharge tube …

Ferromagnetic–insulator–ferromagnetic trilayer tunnel junctions show magnetoresistance
(JMR) effects of about 14% or greater at room temperature. Much larger values of the JMR …

Low-temperature non-equilibrium gaseous discharges represent nearly ideal media for
boosting plasma-based chemical reactions. In these discharges the energy of plasma …

Laboratory investigations as well as practical applications involving plasmas most generally
call for a plasma source with specific characteristics. As a rule, this source should be stable …

The formation and advance of filamentary and diffusive microwave surface wave plasma
columns in xenon are studied by means of a high-speed camera. The framing photographs …

The planar-type surface wave plasma (SWP) device permits the generation of high-density
and uniform processing plasmas via 2.45-GHz microwave power without the application of …

Phase-sensitive microwave interferometry and trace-rare-gas optical emission spectroscopy
were used to measure the line-integrated electron density, ne, and electron temperature, T …
