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...
Spokes are patterns of increased light emission, observed to rotate in front of the targets of magnetron sputtering discharges. They move through the plasma at velocities of several km/s in or against the E⃗ × B⃗ direction of the discharge. The...
High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) plasmas produce a very energetic growth flux for the synthesis of thin films with superior properties. High power densities in the range of a few kW/cm^2 are applied to a metal target electrode in...
The COST Reference Microplasma Jet is a plasma jet designed as a reference source for research of cold atmospheric pressure plasmas and their biomedical application. The device was developed within the COST Action M1101 “Biomedical Applications...
A volume and a twin surface dielectric barrier discharge (VDBD and SDBD) are generated in different nitrogen–oxygen mixtures at atmospheric pressure by applying damped sinusoidal voltage waveforms with oscillation periods in the microsecond time...
Here we present a method for the operando determination of absolute absorbed power in an RF atmospheric pressure helium plasma discharge using miniaturized probes. A detailed error analysis demonstrates the reliability of the measured power...
Experiments are performed to assess the inactivation of Bacillus subtilis spores using a non-thermal atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge. The plasma source used in this study is mounted inside a vacuum vessel and operated in...
