Inactivation of spores by nonthermal plasmas

Characterization of Silicon Nanoparticles Generated by Nonthermal Silane Plasmas

This project is focused on understanding the optoelectronic properties of silicon nanoparticles produced by nonthermal silane plasmas. In situ FTIRis capable of distinguishing surface hydride coverage of silicon nanoparticles and is a prominent technique used to study the surface chemistry of nanoparticles during exposure to plasma environments. Ex situ photoluminescence,UV-vis, SEM, RBS, XRD, ...

Inactivation of bacterial spores by charged particles.

谷 田貝文夫,高 橋 旦,北 島淑男,松 山 晃:理 化学研究所,埼 玉 県和光市広沢2-1 〒351 Bacillus subtilis spores were bombarded with ƒ¿-particles and heavy ions of carbon , nitrogen, and oxygen accelerated in the IPCR cyclotron. The maximum RBE was found at an unrestricted LET of about 120 keV•EƒÊm-1 The effective inactivation cross section, Seff, for ƒ¿-particles increased with LET, reaching a stationary level of Sƒ¿st, 0.145 ƒÊ...

Inactivation of Bacteria by Non-Thermal Plasmas

Modeling nonthermal plasmas generated in glow discharges*

Over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in the modeling of nonthermal plasmas, and models have now reached the point that they are being used to help guide the experimental optimization of plasma based devices. In this communication we provide an overview of models used to describe nonthermal plasma generated in glow discharges. We show results from two applications, plasma disp...

Inactivation of Bacillus anthracis Spores

After the intentional release of Bacillus anthracis through the U.S. Postal Service in the fall of 2001, many environments were contaminated with B. anthracis spores, and frequent inquiries were made regarding the science of destroying these spores. We conducted a survey of the literature that had potential application to the inactivation of B. anthracis spores. This article provides a tabular ...
