Mass spectrometry has recently undergone a second contemporary revolution with the
introduction of a new group of desorption/ionization (DI) techniques known collectively as …

Barrier discharges (BDs) produce highly non-equilibrium plasmas in a controllable way at
atmospheric pressure, and at moderate gas temperature. They provide the effective …

A new ion source based on dielectric barrier discharge was developed as an alternative
ionization source for ambient mass spectrometry. The dielectric barrier discharge ionization …

Mass spectrometric ionization methods that operate under ambient conditions and require
minimal or no sample pretreatment have attracted much attention in such fields as …

In the past 15 years, ambient ionization techniques have witnessed a significant incursion

A remote microscale atmospheric pressure plasma jet (µAPPJ) with He, He/H 2 O, He/O 2,
and He/O 2/H 2 O gas mixtures was used to study the transport of reactive species from the …

The aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the thin film growth mechanism
using an Atmospheric Pressure Townsend-like Discharge (APTD). Films obtained in …

Activation reactions of molecules in plasma are investigated using plasma polymerization of
hexamethyldisiloxane as a model system for plasma‐state polymerization. Underlying …

The piezoelectric direct discharge (PDD) is a comparatively new type of atmospheric
pressure gaseous discharge for production of cold plasma. The generation of such …
