Magnitude of the electric field of the microwave plasma torch simulated with ansys HFSS
Here, a microplasma channel was investigated. The setup consists of three stacked layers: a magnet, a dielectric foil and two nickel foils that are separated by a 120 μm wide gap. The magnet is grounded while the two nickel foils are powered. The...

Nanosecond plasmas in liquids play an important role in the field of decontamination, electrolysis or plasma medicine. The understanding of these very dynamic plasmas requires information about the temporal variation of species densities and...
Nanosecond plasmas in liquids can initiate chemical processes that are exploited in the elds of water treatment, electrolysis or biomedical applications. The understanding of these chemical processes relies on unraveling the dynamics of the...
Nanosecond plasmas in liquids are often generated by applying a short high voltage pulse to an electrode immersed in a liquid for biomedical or environmental applications. The plasmas appear as streamers that propagate through the liquid. The...
High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) plasmas exhibit a high ionization fraction of the sputtered material and ions with high kinetic energies, which produce thin films with superior quality. These ion energy distribution functions (...
Nanosecond plasmas in liquids are being used for water treatment, electrolysis or biomedical applications. The exact nature of these very dynamic plasmas and most important their ignition physics are strongly debated. The ignition itself may be...
Al2O3 thin films, either amorphous or of varying degrees of crystallinity, were deposited by two-frequency radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. Film crystallinity was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray...
In high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) bright plasma spots are observed during the discharge pulses that rotate with velocities in the order of 10 km s −1 in front of the target surface. It has proven very difficult to perform any...
