This paper attempts to give an overview of gas discharge plasmas in a broad perspective. It
is meant for plasma spectroscopists who are familiar with analytical plasmas (glow …

We review the data and models describing the production of the electrons, termed
secondary electrons, that initiate the secondary and subsequent feedback avalanches …

Low-temperature radio frequency plasmas are essential in various sectors of advanced
technology, from micro-engineering to spacecraft propulsion systems and efficient sources …

The enlarged new edition of this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the
basic processes in plasmas and demonstrates that the same fundamental concepts describe …

Large dust grains (rp= 10μm) are found to form hexagonal Coulomb lattices with an
interparticle distance of R p= 880μm in the sheath of an argon rf discharge. The charge on …

The first publication of its kind in the field, this book describes comprehensively and
systematically radio-frequency (rf) capacitive gas discharges of intermediate and low …

In low temperature plasmas, the interaction of the electrons with the electric field is an
important current research topic that is relevant for many applications. Particularly, in the low …

We present results from a two-dimensional (2D) numerical fluid model of rf discharges in
conditions close to recently published measurements of the spatial distribution of plasma …

A four‐grid electrostatic energy analyzer for measurements of the ion velocity distribution
and the emission of secondary electrons on the electrodes of low‐pressure radio frequency …

Atomic oxygen formation in a radio-frequency driven micro-atmospheric pressure plasma jet
is investigated using both advanced optical diagnostics and numerical simulations of the …
