It has already been demonstrated that fluid models can be used to simulate two-dimensional axisymmetric inductively coupled plasma via implementation in the COMSOL (multi-physics simulation software) platform. In this study, we improved the model and simulated a large scale magnetized ... Read More

In this paper, we examine changes of the electric field distributions in waveguide-based axial-type microwave plasma source (MPS) during tuning procedure. The distributions strongly depend on position of the movable short, so does the wave reflection coefficient of the incident wave. A ... Read More

Arc plasma can heat and melt the metal material and flows of molten metal can be affected by several forces such as Lorentz force which is ruled by current, Marangoni force controlled by surface tension, buoyancy force, and arc drag force. Usually, surface tension variation is determined ... Read More

Plasma torches are used in processing of materials as well as in the energy industry for producing plasma. In a non-transferred arc plasma torch, an electric arc can be initiated by applying a direct current (DC) between the cathode and anode, both placed inside the torch. Then, the ... Read More

Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (ICPCVD) has been widely used for carbon-based nanomaterial synthesis because it provides high plasma densities and uniform plasma distribution and allows plasma to be generated in room temperature.[1] During the ICPCVD process, the ...

Chipmakers widely use the plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) technique for depositing thin dielectric or conducting films on wafers. The primary objective for a deposition process is to have a good flow and species uniformity on the wafer. Typically, a carefully designed ... Read More

Small-scale plasma jets in atmospheric air can produce regions of highly reactive chemistry coincident with temperatures approaching room temperature allowing his type of cold plasma jet to be used for decontamination of surfaces and sterilization of living tissue. In the device under ... Read More

Microwave discharges have a wide range of applications, such as gas conversion, material processing and surface treatment; also they can provide an efficient way for dissociation of molecular gases as CO2 and N2O. Depending on the operating pressure and temperature, non-equilibrium ... Read More

Standard approaches to reproduce the coupling of wave propagation and plasma transport inside a helicon plasma source rely on electromagnetic simulations coupled to either kinetic or particle-in-cell strategies to reproduce the plasma response. If the plasma density reach values higher ... Read More

In order to gather more detailed information on the rising sea level, glacier melting and tectonic plate movements to improve our understanding of global and climate change, the Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) is being prepared by the European Space Agency (ESA) in cooperation ... Read More
