Laser-induced incandescence (LII) is a widely used combustion diagnostic for in situ
measurements of soot primary particle sizes and volume fractions in flames, exhaust gases …

Current fabrication of nanomaterials is facing the following two challenges: high selectivity
toward specific chemical compositions or morphologies and their scalable production. This …

A self-consistent unified model of direct current (DC) gas discharges in molecular gases
describing the processes both in the discharge gap and in the electrodes is developed …

Pulsed arc discharges can improve arc control and tailor the ablation process in the
production of 1D and 2D nanostructures from carbon anodes. In this work, low-dimensional …

Carbon nanotips and nanowhiskers were produced through etching of an amorphous
carbon layer (ACL) by controlling the plasma environment. Discharge types and different …

In this work, solid targets made from boron and boron nitride (BN) materials are ablated by a
nanosecond pulsed laser at sub-atmospheric pressures of nitrogen and helium gases. The …

Here, the synthesis of Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS 2) flakes by means of anodic
atmospheric arc discharge is reported for the first time. The vertical electrode configuration …

In pursuit of diamond nanoparticles, a capacitively-coupled radio frequency (CCRF) flow-
through plasma reactor was operated with methane argon gas mixtures. Signatures of the …

According to the classic theory of nucleation around a charged particle, dipoles induced in
the particle's neighbors by the charged nucleation center decrease the electric field around …

Based on the in situ diagnostic system and the digital image post-processing technique,
