Organic contaminants (for example in wastewater effluents) cause serious health and environmental problems due to their high chemical oxygen demand (COD), low biodegradability, and toxicity. Non-equilibrium and thermal ...

Using a quasitoroidal set of coordinates with coaxial circular magnetic surfaces, Vlasov equation is solved for collisionless plasmas in drift approach and a perpendicular dielectric tensor is found for large aspect ratio ...

Plasma polymerization by RF excited low pressure plasmas is a powerful technique for synthesizing thin films for a wide range of applications such in microelectronics, biomaterials and aeronautical industries. Among these ...

Recently, cold atmospheric plasmas have demonstrated very promising antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo including selective destruction of tumor cells. However, the size and the rigidity of most plasma systems limit ...
