Sample transfer system for plasma surface interaction by means of reverse field pinch plasma apparatus.

Surface Decontamination by Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma

Background: Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), a source of non-thermal plasma, is used in surface decontamination. Objective: To study the effect of DBD plasma treatment, we evaluated the effect of plasma exposure time on inactivation of Bacillus subtilis. Results: Applying the DBD plasma to the culture of B. subtilis caused complete sterilization of the surface without any thermal effects. In...

Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges

In this work, applicability of Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation method for better understanding of the plasma physical mechanisms and real important aspects of a plasma column driven by surface wave plasma discharges that is used in plasma antennas is examined. Via the implementation of geometry and physical parameters of the plasma column to an Object Oriented PIC-M...

Plasma Modification of Paper by Means of Surface Barrier Discharge

Plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) at atmospheric pressure becomes a promising technology. The objective of the present work is to develop technique for deposition of thin films with desired properties on paper surface by means of atmospheric pressure discharge. The depositions were carried out by the means of surface discharge at atmospheric pressure. The films were deposited f...

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Plasma Surface Interaction

New interlayer intermolecular potential model was proposed and it represented “ABAB” staking of graphite. Hydrogen atom sputtering on graphite surface was investigated usingmolecular dynamics simulation. In the initial short time period, maintaining the flat structure of graphenes, hydrogen atoms brought about the difference interaction process in each incident energy. The first graphene often ...
