A low-pressure double-inductively coupled plasma device is used to study the fundamental plasma parameters, plasma chemistry, and UV photon emission from the first excited state of nitric oxide, NO(A), in gas mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen. In...
This study investigates electron dynamics in three distinct discharge modes of a cross-field atmospheric pressure plasma jet: the non-neutral, quasi-neutral, and constricted modes. Using a hybrid Particle-In-Cell/Monte Carlo Collisions simulation...
Processes at the plasma boundaries, including the electrodes, can significantly influence plasma properties, among them the plasma density, the flux-energy distribution of various particle species, etc. The emission of secondary electrons, in...
A Direct Current (DC) nanosecond (ns)-pulsed plasma jet fed with N2 at near atmospheric pressure (20 000 Pa) is studied using a transient zero-dimensional (0-D) model coupled with a two-term Boltzmann equation solver. Good agreement is observed...
The effect of the shape of the applied voltage waveform on the energy efficiency of reactive species generation is investigated in an atmospheric pressure RF microplasma jet operated in a He/O$_2$ mixture (99.5\%/0.5\%) based on a one-dimensional...
Hydrogen is often envisioned as a green fuel and energy carrier. However, a greenhouse gas-free production method is still needed for this purpose. A promising method is the pyrolysis of methane. Here, we present the 3-dimensional simulation of...
Magnitude of the electric field of the microwave plasma torch simulated with ansys HFSS
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...
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 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...
