New applied technology of plasma heat sources.

New approaches in thermal plasma technology*

Thermal plasmas offer unique advantages for materials processing, such as high fluxes of heat and of reactant species. Recent developments have concentrated on improving control of these fluxes across the boundaries surrounding the thermal plasma. Secondary discharges (hybrid plasma generators) and pulse modulation of the plasma have been some of the approaches for this end. The use of such met...

Low Temperature Plasma Technology Laboratory Physical Mechanisms in Industrial RF Plasma Sources

RF plasma sources are essential for producing semiconductor chips, but they are developed empirically, with incomplete knowledge of how they work. Inductively coupled plasmas (ICPs) employ rf fields without a dc magnetic field B0 and produce ionization well outside the skin layer. Helicon sources with a B0 can generate much higher densities but pose a number of puzzling physical questions. Of t...

Low Temperature Plasma Technology Laboratory RF Plasma Sources for Semiconductor Processing

Scenario based technique applied to photovoltaic sources uncertainty

There is an increasing need to forecast power generated by photovoltaic sources in day-ahead power system operation. The electrical energy generated by these renewable sources is an uncertain variable and depends on solar irradiance, which is out of control and depends on climate conditions. The stochastic programming based on various scenarios is an efficient way to deal with such uncertaintie...

New Electronic Technology Applied in Flexible Organic Optical System

The synthesis and application of new organic materials, nanostructured, for developing technology based on organic devices, have been the main focus of the scientific community. In recent years, the first polymeric electronics products have entered the market (organic semiconductor materials) and there are some electrochromic devices among them that have been called smart windows, once they con...
