Plasma jet devices generate plasmas in an open space (surrounding air) rather than in lieu of confined discharge gaps. Hence, they can be used for direct treatment and there is also no limitation on the size of the object. However, to the best of our knowledge, the dimensions of plasma jet nozzles that have been reported in the literature are mainly very small (sub-millimeter to several millimeters)...
Summary form only given. Because of their ability to achieve enhanced plasma chemistry at low temperatures, pulsed plasmas are very attractive in applications that require a rich chemical environment, such as combustion. Here, we report on a cold plasma jet launched by a pulsed plasma device (the plasma pencil). The plasma pencil can generate relatively long plasma plumes at atmospheric pressure....
Summary form only given. As low-temperature nonequilibrium plasmas come to play an increasing role in biomedical applications, reliable and user friendly sources need to be developed. These plasma sources have to meet stringent requirements such as low temperature (at or near room temperature), operation at atmospheric pressure, portability, etc. We have recently developed a plasma pencil that is...
Summary form only given. One of the attractive characteristics of nonequilibrium plasmas is their enhanced plasma chemistry without the need for elevated gas temperatures. This is because the plasma chemistry is driven by the energetic electrons, while the heavy particles remain at low energy. To enhance the gas chemistry, the electron energy distribution function can be controlled in a way to shift...
Summary form only given. Atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasmas have recently received increased attention because of several emerging applications. Recently, we presented a novel method to produce a non-thermal, large volume, atmospheric pressure plasma. This method used a similar configuration to the dielectric barrier discharge. However, instead of a dielectric, a resistive layer was used to...
