Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jets with helium (He) and argon (Ar) plasma-forming gases were used to modify the structure, photoluminescence (PL), electrical properties of arrays silicon nanowires (SiNWs) initial cross-section sizes order 100 nm length about 7‒8 microns. The CAP source consisted a 30 kHz voltage generator full power up 5 W treatment for 1‒5 min resulted in spattering SiNWs’ tip...

An atmospheric pressure nonequilibrium Ar micro-plasma generated inside a micro-tube with plasma radius of 3 μm and length of 2.7 cm is reported. The electron density of the plasma plume estimated from the broadening of the Ar emission line reaches as high as 3 × 10(16) cm(-3). The electron temperature obtained from CR model is 1.5 ev while the gas temperature of the plasma estimated from the N...

Cold plasma is increasingly under research for decontamination of foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. The effect of cold plasma on food quality, however, remains under researched. This study investigates the effects of cold plasma generated within a sealed package from a dielectric barrier discharge on the physical quality parameters and respiration rates of cherry tomatoes. Respirat...

Novel, effective methods to control and prevent spoilage and contamination by pathogenic microorganisms in meat and meat products are in constant demand. Non-thermal pasteurization is an ideal method for the preservation of meat and meat products because it does not use heat during the pasteurization process. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma (APCP) is a new technology for the non-thermal pasteu...

Plasma medicine is an emerging research field which has been driven by the development of plasma sources suitable to generate low temperature plasmas. In many cases, such devices can operate without a gas flow, producing discharge from ambient air. However, most common case use working at given flow rate produce jet. Helium (He) one gases commonly used as carrier cold atmospheric pressure jets ...
