Low operation voltage organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) were successfully fabricated with top contact structure at low fabrication temperature. The thin gate dielectric of OTFTs were deposited by atmospheric pressure plasma jet at the substrate temperature about 150 °C and under atmospheric pressure. The environment of processes would significantly improve the abilities of large area applic...

The use of non-thermal plasmas in bio-medical applications has been driven by the development of cold plasma devices capable of being operated in the open atmosphere. The generation of atmospheric pressure plasmas removes the need for costly high vacuum systems and avoids the inherent difficulties of treating living tissue under vacuum conditions. Moreover, since such plasmas are ‘cold’ they ar...

Introduction The aim of this study was toinvestigate the sterilization potential of atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) and interactions of this technology with double-stranded DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) techniques. Materials and Methods The plasma jet was produced through a high voltage sinusoidal power supplyusing a mixt...

Low temperature (cold) plasma finds an increasing number of applications in biology, medicine and agriculture. In this paper, we report a new effect of plasma induced morphing and movements of Venus flytrap and Mimosa pudica. We have experimentally observed plasma activation of sensitive plant movements and morphing structures in these plants similar to stimulation of their mechanosensors in vi...

This paper describes a study where an argon cold plasma jet, generated by dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD), is combined with nanosecond laser ablation (248 nm, 25 ns, 10 Hz) to deposit silver particle aerosols onto the substrate at atmospheric pressure. The deposition of examined using various microscopy techniques and absorption spectroscopy for jet produced operating DBD in normal reversed ...
