This review explores the use of microwave heating and microwave-generated plasma for biosecurity applications. Microwave has been shown to rapidly heat kill a wide range pests pathogens. Examples thermal disinfestation soils, grains, hay, timber are presented discussed. energy can also ionize various gasses, including air, create plasma. Plasmas described by many characteristics, such as temper...

The low pressure glow discharges considered in this paper are the hollow cathode (Paschen), and the flat cathode (Grimm). Both discharges have similar voltage—current characteristics which are responsible for their radiation stability. The analytical sample is supplied to the discharge through a sputtering mechanism which provides a stable and non-selective source of particles. Some of the fund...

The development of atmospheric pressure plasmas (APPs) for chemical synthesis, mat­ erials processing, environmental cleanup and now for biotechnology has been continually challenged by the desire, and the need, to produce uniform glow discharges. A scaling law in low temperature plasmas states that if ionization occurs only from the ground state, the gas density N is constant, and the E/N (ele...

Abstract We have developed a new method to detect solvated (hydrated) electrons at the plasma–water interface. The is based on laser-induced desolvation followed by release of free into plasma. employed an atmospheric-pressure dc glow discharge, in which water surface worked as cathode, experiment. When region just below cathode was irradiated with pulsed laser beam, we observed increase discha...

Some unusual structures on the surface of metals and films (various x-ray films and nuclear emulsions ) caused by exposure to bombardment by low-energy ions in glow discharge plasma, in electrolysis and other low-energy processes (when energy of particles doesn’t exceed several keV) have been found. The mechanism and model of the strange tracks formations and explanation of their structure chan...

Current dependence on fossil fuels to satisfy increasing energy needs has created an overabundance of CO2 emissions. This project aims to use a radio frequency (rf) plasma source to dissociate CO2 completely into solid carbon and gaseous oxygen to reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. An rf plasma excited by a double helix antenna with an axial magnetic field is used to create the CO2 di...
