In this review we describe a transient type of gas discharge which is commonly called a
streamer discharge, as well as a few related phenomena in pulsed discharges. Streamers …

Fast gas heating (FGH) is an abrupt increase in gas temperature in non-equilibrium low-
temperature plasma due to relaxation of electronically excited states of atoms and …

Plasma jets are sources of repetitive and stable ionization waves, meant for applications
where they interact with surfaces of different characteristics. As such, plasma jets provide an …

Measurements of current and voltage are the basic diagnostics for electrical discharges.
However, in the case of dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs), the measured current and …

The growing demand for food represents an enormous problem for agri-food industries. It is
driven by global population growth on the one hand and constrained by greenhouse gas …

Fungal diseases seriously affect agricultural production and the food industry. Crop
protection is usually achieved by synthetic fungicides, therefore more sustainable and …

In this paper, a review of general and specific properties of ionization waves—streamers is
presented. Characteristics of streamers in gases and liquids, sprites in the Earth's …

A novel method for fast and robust calculation of Boltzmann plots from molecular spectra is
presented. Its use is demonstrated on the OH (AX) spectrum near 310 nm. A limitation of the …

We investigate the electric field development in weak microseconds-lasting atmospheric
pressure Townsend discharge operated in a barrier discharge arrangement in pure …

One of the primary basic plasma parameters within transient nonequilibrium plasmas is the
reduced electric field strength, roughly understood as the ratio of the electrical energy given …
