Many different gas discharges and plasmas exhibit bistable states under a given set of
conditions, and the history-dependent hysteresis that is manifested by intensive quantities of …

Semiconductor nanocrystals have attracted considerable interest for a wide range of
applications including light-emitting devices and displays, photovoltaic cells, nanoelectronic …

In order to characterize a nonequilibrium molecular plasma from the point of view of
translational, vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom and their interaction, the …

In this paper we study the growth of nanometer particles in low pressure plasmas due to
coagulation. We describe results of a model which involves the self-consistent determination …

Typical inductive discharges, such as are used for plasma processing, exhibit two modes of
operation: the true inductive discharge known as the H mode, and a weak capacitive …

In low-pressure capacitive radio frequency discharges, two mechanisms of electron heating
are domi<? format?> nant:(i) Ohmic heating due to collisions of electrons with neutrals of the …

The inclusion of plasma in atomic layer deposition processes generally offers the benefit of
substantially reduced growth temperatures and greater flexibility in tailoring the gas-phase …

New approaches are required in the agricultural sector to keep pace with the ever-growing
