The Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique involves serval fields of science, such as laser-matter interaction, plasma physics, atomic physics, plasma chemistry, spectroscopy, electro-optics, and signal processing. The LIBS plasma is transient, unlike an inductively coupled plasma, arc plasma, or glow discharge plasma, which are all stationary plasma. This characteristic makes...
Pulsed spark discharges in dielectric liquids have various applications such as precise machining, nanomaterial synthesis, or for liquid depollution/reformation. Discharge in liquids produce highly reactive species, in addition to shock waves, heat, and radiation. Discharges at the interface of two immiscible liquids have been recently introduced, and they showed great interests for...
Large volume, atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma volumes are desired for uniform plasma processing applications. Nanosecond (ns) pulsed plasma sources are effective at igniting and sustaining plasmas in atmospheric pressure gases and gas mixtures. These pulses produce large quantities of excited species and highly reactive radicals participating in the desired chemical reaction pathways....
A streamer discharge is a highly reactive and dynamic non-thermal plasma. It has been used in many applications, including environmental remediation, medicine, and material processing. Although the physics of streamer discharges in gaseous media is well understood, its interaction with a solid and liquid dielectric surface remains under investigation, in particular when quantitative data are...
Rupture of the supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for increased local food production. Coupled with population increase, there is steadily increasing demand for fresh local produce. While hydroponic growth allows year-long environmentally controlled production, its humid environment brings undesirable side effects like the proliferation of fungi. For example,...
