Nonthermal plasmas have emerged as a viable synthesis technique for nanocrystal
materials. Inherently solvent and ligand-free, nonthermal plasmas offer the ability to …

Semiconductor nanocrystals have attracted considerable interest for a wide range of
applications including light-emitting devices and displays, photovoltaic cells, nanoelectronic …

Many fundamental issues in classical condensed matter physics can be addressed
experimentally using systems of individually visible mesoscopic particles playing the role of …

A summary is given of different elementary processes influencing the thermal balance and
energetic conditions of substrate surfaces during plasma processing. The discussed …

Recent developments in the theoretical investigations of complex (dusty) plasmas–low
temperature plasmas containing charged microparticles–are reviewed. The focus is mostly …

Low‐pressure gas discharge plasmas are known to be strongly affected by the presence of
small dust particles. This issue plays a role in the investigations of dust particle‐forming …

Nanoparticles produced in low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) are often found with crystalline
structure, which suggests rather high temperatures during synthesis. This even applies to …

While the formation of nanoparticles in nonthermal plasmas is well known, the heating
mechanism leading to their crystallization is poorly understood. In this study, we investigate …

Experimental results on self-excited density waves in a complex plasma are presented. An
argon plasma is produced in a capacitively coupled rf discharge at a low power and gas …

Complex plasma is the plasma state of soft matter which consists of weakly ionized gas
(plasma) and highly charged microparticles. The microparticles are large enough to be …
