RF glow-discharge plasmas provide mild energetic ion bombardment of exposed surfaces. The characteristics of a 10 MHz RF glow-discharge Ar plasma are studied by particle-in-cell simulation. The model simulates a spherical plasma device using a one-dimensional plasma model. The code is used to determine the breakdown voltage, Vrf , for a given pd , where p is the gas pressure and d is the plasma...

Glow and filamentary regimes of atmospheric pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in a planar dielectric barrier discharge configuration were compared for thin-film from ethyl lactate (EL). EL decomposition the plasma phase composition both characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. bonds' concentration along gas flow decreases progressively glow (GDBD), whereas it d...

Electrolyte Cathode Discharge (ELCAD) spectrometry, a novel sensitive multielement direct analytical method for metal traces in aqueous solutions, was introduced in 1993 as a new sensing principle. Since then several works have tried to develop an operational mechanism for this exotic atmospheric glow plasma technique, however these attempts cannot be combined into a valid model description. In...

The newly designed plasma display with the cylindrical hollow cathode has been proposed and investigated to study the relationship between the photoluminous efficiency and the discharge characteristics. The photoluminous efficiency and the discharge characteristics are dependent on the geometry factors of cylindrical hollow cathode and gas pressure in the plasma display. When p (gas pressure) d...

Plasma technology reaches rapidly increasing efficiency in catalytic applications. One such application is the splitting reaction of CO2 to oxygen and carbon monoxide. This could be a cornerstone power-to-X processes that utilize electricity produce value-added compounds as chemicals fuels. However, it poses problems practice due its highly endothermal nature challenging selectivity. In this co...

A two-dimensionally imaging spectrometer system was employed to obtain the spatial distribution of the excitation temperature in a glow discharge plasma for emission analysis. A Grimm-style glow discharge excitation source, whose hollow anode had an inner diameter of 8 mm, was observed over the whole emission area. The mapping of the excitation temperature was conducted by using a two-line meth...
