A low-temperature plasma (LTP) is being advanced as an alternative radiation source that offers unique chemical properties owned by a variety of reactive plasma species (RPS), such as radicals, electrons, and excited species, delivered and formed in media upon exposure. Our current research explores the possibility of implementing DNA and its damage as a probe for specific plasma diagnostics...
Within the past decade micro-plasma jets in contact with liquids have been the focus of international research. They have shown great potential in applications ranging from surface treatment to medicine. To be able to control these jets for precise application, a fundamental understanding of the underlying processes is required. For this, detailed diagnostics need to be performed, which are...
Thomson scattering (TS), the elastic scattering of light photons by charged particles, is a powerful diagnostic for the measurements of electron properties (density and temperature) in low-temperature plasmas (LTP). It is in fact one of the few diagnostics capable of providing simultaneously electron density (ne) and electron temperature (Te) information at the nanosecond timescale. As a...
Non-equilibrium effects are ubiquitous in laboratory plasmas and need to be considered to optimize the reactor performance for specific applications. In the low temperature plasma (LTP) community, there are on-going discussions on how to define reaction mechanisms and verify them. Such efforts would allow going toward predictive modelling and accelerate innovation. In this contribution, we...
