/The results in this dataset have been published in J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 54 (2021) 365201. / CO2 dissociation stimulated by vibrational excitation in non-equilibrium discharges has drawn lots of attention. Nanosecond (ns) discharges are known...
The present study investigates the physics of a nanosecond-pulsed microplasma operated at a pressure of 200 mbar with the help of a particle-in-cell simulation with Monte Carlo treatment of collision (PIC/MCC) and (semi-)analytical models. The...
We report first ns-resolved absorption measurements of the ro-vibrational excitation of CO2. The high temporal resolution of 8 ns is made possible by a fast detector (rise-time 5 ns), sensitive in the mid-infrared region. The resolution is...
The electric field in the He:N_2 nanosecond Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet (ns-APPJ) is studied using Electric-Field Induced Second Harmonic generation (E-FISH) technique. It is shown that the calibration obtained with a DC voltage applied to...
The non-equilibrium ro-vibrational distribution functions of molecules in a plasma can heavily influence the discharge operation and the plasma-chemistry. A convenient method for measuring the distribution function is coherent anti-Stokes Raman...
The understanding of the ro-vibrational dynamics in molecular (near)-atmospheric pressure plasmas is essential to investigate the influence of vibrational excited molecules on the discharge properties. In a companion paper Kuhfeld et al (2021 J....
