Atmospheric-pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD) enables low-temperature coating in open air, yet the interplay between precursor activation and ambient-derived species remains unclear. Here, thin films from an amine precurso...
Underwater electrical explosions of single metallic wires driven by microsecond current pulses are investigated and compared with previously reported sub-microsecond experiments. Current and voltage waveforms, streak camera shadow imaging, and one-di...
A novel system aiming to electrically supply various cold plasma generators is proposed. It operates as a programmable linear current source which is able to maintain a dc constant discharge current at various discharge voltages required to sustain t...
The generation of atmospheric pressure nonequilibrium plasma using electrical discharges is an active area of research due to its significance in a wide spectrum of applications including medicine, combustion, and manufacturing. In our attempt to cre...
Filamentary mode, as a common phenomenon that appears in dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), is realized by rod-to-rod electrodes in N2-O2 mixtures at 80 mbar. The effects of the dielectric thickness on the characteristics of filamentary DBD are inve...
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma provides a solvent-free and energy-efficient approach for the in situ polymerization of styrene on cotton textiles. Traditional methods for polystyrene (PS) coating often require elevated temperatures, chemic...
Recent advances in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) plasma simulations, for example in modeling kilonova ejecta, have emphasized the need for consistent and reliable atomic data. Unlike LTE modeling, non-LTE calculations must include a c...
This computational study investigates the optical properties of a sixth-order Fibonacci quasi-periodic photonic crystal cavity designed for the infiltration of near-infrared colloidal quantum dots (QDs, e.g., InAs/ZnSe or PbS) and fully compatible wi...
