Dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) are promising tools for air pollution removal and gas conversion based on excess renewable energy. Catalyst loading of dielectric pellets placed inside the plasma can improve such processes. The effects of such...
A uniform atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge is operated in helium with an admixture (0.45%) of nitrogen. The discharge is ignited in the gas gap between a driven and a grounded electrode and propagates along the dielectric surface...
Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas are used for surface decontamination or disinfection, e.g. in clinical settings. Protein aggregation has been shown to significantly contribute to the antibacterial mechanisms of plasma. To investigate the...
Non-thermal plasmas are used in various applications to inactivate biological agents or biomolecules. A complex cocktail of reactive species, (vacuum) UV radiation and in some cases exposure to an electric field together cause the detrimental...
This work utilizes 1d3v Particle-in-Cell/Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC/MCC) simulations of a symmetric discharge in the low-pressure regime with the inclusion of realistic electron-surface interactions for silicon dioxide. A diagnostic framework is...
The unipolar pulsed-plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of aluminum has been replaced by bipolar pulsed methods that use a so-called 'soft-sparking' mode. This method results in an effective reduction of intense microdischarges, which are...
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...
