The first report of a discharge in a hollow cathode was by F. Paschen in 1916. That study
showed that such a system was capable of producing a high electron flux and relatively low …

Non equilibrium plasmas such as glow discharges have become a commonly used tool in
direct surface and interface analysis of solid materials. The application of pulsed glow …

This completely revised second edition of the standard work has been expanded by some
twenty percent to include more information on the latest developments and new apparatus …

Atomic spectrometry remains one of the most powerful methods for the determination of the
elements and their compounds in a wide variety of types of samples and in widely differing …

In this work we present results of two significantly different types of plasma treatment on
Paulownia tomentosa Steud. seeds. In the first type, seeds were directly treated in low …

A hybrid model is developed for describing the effects of oxygen addition to argon glow
discharges. The species taken into account in the model include Ar atoms in the ground …

We report studies on argon glow discharges established between flat disc electrodes, at
pressure× electrode separation (pd) values between 45 and 150 Pa cm, with special …

Gas discharge plasmas are used for a wide range of applications. To improve our
understanding about gas discharges, which is necessary to obtain good results in the …

The so-called standard model is a semi-empirical, physically based model describing the
signal response in the glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy. Its assumptions …

A millisecond pulsed glow discharge is used as a versatile ion source for time-gated
generation of elemental, structural, and molecular ions. The utility of this ion source for …
