Plasma, Volume 7, Issue 2

In recent years, plasma medicine, as an innovative and rapidly growing field, has garnered increasing attention. Nonetheless, the fundamental mechanisms of the interaction processes of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and biomolecules remain under inves...

The outstanding properties and chemistry of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) are not sufficiently understood due to their relatively complex systems and transient properties. In this paper, we tried to present a detailed review of the applications of CA...

We study the effect of the rotational transform profile on the L–H confinement transitions in the neutral beam-heated plasmas in the TJ-II stellarator. The rotational transform profile in the vacuum is determined by the external coil currents b...

Spectral line shapes are a key ingredient of hot-plasma opacity calculations. Since resorting to elaborate line-shape models remains prohibitive for intensive opacity calculations involving ions in different excitation states, with L, M, etc., shells...

Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) within recent years have shown great promise in the field of plasma medicine, encompassing a variety of treatments from wound healing to the treatment of cancerous tumors. For each subsequent treatment, a different app...

This article provides an up-to-date overview of the problems associated with the detection of hot electrons escaping from laser-produced plasma and corresponding return current flowing from the ground to the target, which neutralises the positive cha...

This work is an addition to the previously developed two-dimensional model of the shock–plasma interaction, extending it into the third dimension. The model can trace the evolution of the state of the hypersonic flow and the shock front refract...

A vacuum arc is an electrical discharge, in which the current is supported by localized cathode heating and plasma generation in minute regions at the cathode surface called cathode spots. Cathode spots produce a metallic plasma jet used in many appl...

This study utilizes the Kerr effect in the analysis of a pulsed electric field (intensity ~10⁸ V/m, limited by the liquid dielectric strength) in deionized water at the sub-nanosecond time scale. The results provide information about voltage waveform...

The short-term (5 min) exposure to the supersonic flow of carbon dioxide plasma on ultrahigh-temperature ceramics of HfB₂-30vol.%SiC composition has been studied. It was shown that, when established on the surface at a temperature of 1615–1655...

A detailed review of the scientific literature was undertaken to examine the most recent developments in plasma processing in the field of medicine. The first part of the review includes a detailed breakdown of the different types of coatings that ca...
