This review paper presents historical perspectives, recent advances and future directions in
the multidisciplinary research field of plasma nanoscience. The current status and future …

Plasma-induced defects are often recognized in state-of-the-art semiconductors, high-
efficiency solar cells and high-sensitivity image sensors. These defects are in the form of a …

The dense plasma focus (DPF), a coaxial plasma gun, utilizes pulsed high current electrical
discharge to heat and compress the plasma to very high density and temperature with …

Low-temperature (<; 10 eV) plasmas with densities varying over a very wide range from 10
13 m-3 at the lower end to as high as 10 23 m-3 have firmly established themselves as one …

Recent advances in vacuum sciences and applications are reviewed. Novel optical
interferometer cavity devices enable pressure measurements with ppm accuracy. The …

Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were synthesized using Ar+ CH 4 multi-hollow plasma
chemical vapor deposition. The deposition flux of CNPs to a substrate was studied as a …

Plasma being the fourth and most abundant form of matter extensively exists in the universe
in the inter-galactic regions. It provides an electrically neutral medium of unbound negative …

We have developed a simple in-situ method for measuring the size distribution (the mean
size (mean diameter) and size dispersion) of nano-particles generated in reactive plasmas …

Stress reduction in hydrogenated amorphous carbon (aC: H) films is of considerable interest
for improving their performance as protective films. Herein, we reduced the compressive …

Silicon nanoparticles (Si‐NPs) are considered as possible candidates for a wide spectrum of
future technological applications. Research in the last decades has shown that plasmas are …
