Stability of the Plasma-sheath

KdV dynamics in the plasma-sheath transition

A mathematical model is formulated to catch the dynamics hidden in the plasma-sheath transition layer and the inner sheath layer for planar motion of a plasma. It is shown that the rescaled potential in the plasma-sheath transition layer and inner layer is governed by a perturbed KdV equation, through which some of the complex interactions and couplings among physical mechanisms acting in the p...

Vertical pairing of identical particles suspended in the plasma sheath.

It is shown experimentally that vertical pairing of two identical microspheres suspended in the sheath of a radio-frequency (rf) discharge at low gas pressures (a few Pa) appears at a well-defined instability threshold of the rf power. The transition is reversible, but with significant hysteresis on the second stage. A simple model which uses measured microsphere resonance frequencies and takes...

Revisiting biomarker discovery by plasma proteomics

Clinical analysis of blood is the most widespread diagnostic procedure in medicine, and blood biomarkers are used to categorize patients and to support treatment decisions. However, existing biomarkers are far from comprehensive and often lack specificity and new ones are being developed at a very slow rate. As described in this review, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has become a power...
