A pulsed discharge light source was used to study the two and three times ionized argon (Ar II, Ar III) spectra in the 480–6218 Å region. A set of 129 transitions of Ar III and 112 transitions of Ar IV were classified for the first time....
The penetration and propagation of streamers in capillary tubes is critical for applications involving the plasma-enabled disinfection of medical devices like catheters and plasma catalysis. In this study, a guided streamer is generated in a pulsed p...
A capillary pulsed-discharge and a theta-pinch were used to record Kr spectra in the region of 330–4800 Å. A set of 168 transitions of these spectra were classified for the first time. We extended the analysis to twenty-five new energy levels belongi...
Carbyne, a linear chain of carbon atoms, possesses extraordinary properties but has remained elusive due to its extreme instability. While encapsulation within carbon nanotubes stabilizes carbyne, a lack of synthetic control over its location has pre...
Towards the next generation of compact plasma-based accelerators, useful in several fields, such as basic research, medicine and industrial applications, a great effort is required to control the plasma creation, the necessity of producing a time-jit...
We report on the development of a compact, gas-filled capillary plasma source for plasma accelerator applications. The one-body sapphire capillary was created through a diamond machining technique, which enabled a straightforward and efficient manufa...
This paper provides an overview of modern research on magnetoplasma methods of influencing gas-dynamic and plasma flows. The main physical mechanisms that control the interaction of plasma discharges with gaseous moving media are indicated. The ways...
Micro-dosing of fine cohesive powders is the key technology in additive manufacturing and especially in high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPI). However, high accuracy micro-dosing (<5 mg) of fine cohesive powder is less trivial and...
A five-month-old female mixed-breed dog presented with a two-week history of polyuria, polydipsia, and vomiting. Clinical examination revealed poor body condition, growth retardation, pale oral mucous membranes, weak pulse, and prolonged capillary re...
In this work, a jet of cold plasma is generated in a device supplied in helium and powered with a high-voltage nanopulse power supply, hence generating guided streamers. We focus on the interaction between these guided streamers and two targets place...
