The present work aims to investigate the interaction between a plasma jet and targets with different physical properties. Electrical, morphological and fluid-dynamic characterizations were performed on a plasma jet impinging on metal, dielectric and...
Scientific breakthroughs tend to come in spurts when unique societal, economical, and political circumstances conspire (knowingly or unknowingly) and create an environment ripe for creativity. The field of low temperature plasma (LTP) recently experi...
The interaction of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet with different dielectric surfaces is investigated using a setup of two ring electrodes around a ceramic capillary. In this study, in addition to electrical measurement methods such as the determi...
Inductive plasma discharge has been a part of continuous investigations since it was discovered. Especially the E- to H-mode transition and the hysteresis behavior have been topics of research in the last few decades. In this paper, we demonstrate a...
Low temperature plasma jets are unique plasma sources capable of delivering plasma outside of the confinement of electrodes and away from gas enclosures/chambers [...]
Analysis of the L–H and H–L transition power thresholds (Pth) and pedestal parameters are presented for the mega ampere spherical tokamak (MAST). The dependencies of Pth on the average, core plasma electron density, X-point height, and plasma current...
The rapid advances in the field of cold plasma research led to the development of many plasma jets for various purposes. The COST plasma jet was created to set a comparison standard between different groups in Europe and the world. Its physical and c...
In this work, micro-arc discharge is investigated using a needle-to-plane electrode system placed with a micro-gap in highly conductive artificial seawater. A major problem with microarc discharge is the erosion of electrodes caused by the high curre...
Plasma-driven advanced oxidation represents a potential technology to safely re-use waters polluted with recalcitrant contaminants by mineralizing organics via reactions with hydroxyl radicals, thus relieving freshwater stress. The process results in...
A helium-based atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) with various flow rates of argon gas as a variable working gas was characterized by utilizing optical emission spectroscopy (OES) alongside the plasma jet. The spectroscopic characterization was p...
