Ion-induced secondary electron emission at a target surface is an essential mechanism for laboratory plasmas, i.e. magnetron sputtering discharges. Electron emission, however, is strongly affected by the target condition itself such as oxidation...

The in-plasma-catalytic synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen admixed to a helium RF plasma is studied with infrared absorption spectroscopy, optical emission spectroscopy, and through chemical kinetics modeling. Sandblasted glass is...

Surface dielectric barrier discharges (sDBD) are efficient and scalable plasma sources for plasma-based gas conversion. One prominent feature of an sDBD in this application is its ionic wind, which exerts a force on the neutrals, thus leading to...

NO synthesis using plasma catalysis is analyzed in a parallel-plate atmospheric pressure RF plasma from N$_2$/O$_2$ admixed to helium exposed to Fe and Pt catalysts on a SiO$_2$ support. The NO$_x$ species are measured by Fourier-transform...
