Cold plasma treatment of seeds: deciphering the role of contact surfaces through multiple exposures, randomizing and stirring
T. Dufour, Q. Gutierrez
Cold plasma technologies are an efficient approach to improve the germination properties of seeds, especially in a stacking configuration within a dielectric barrier device. In suc…
Effect of limiting the cathode surface on direct current microhollow cathode discharge in helium
T. Dufour, R. Dussart, P. Lefaucheux +5
This paper describes how to light several microdischarges in parallel without having to individually ballast each one. The V-I curve of a microhollow cathode discharge is character…
Self-organized patterns by a DC pin liquid anode discharge in ambient air: Effect of liquid types on formation
Shiqiang Zhang, Thierry Dufour
A pin liquid anode DC discharge is generated in open air without any additional gas feeding to form self-organized patterns (SOPs) on various liquid interfaces. Axially resolved em…
Single and multiple pin(s)-to-liquid discharges: connecting self-organization patterns and ROS production in liquids for plasma agronomy application
S. Zhang, A. Rousseau, T. Dufour
Pin-to-liquid discharges are investigated for the activation of liquids dedicated to agriculture applications. They are characterized through their electrical and optical propertie…
Optical diagnostics and mass spectrometry on the afterglow of an atmospheric pressure Ar/O radiofrequency plasma used for polymer surface treatment
Corinne Y. Duluard, Thierry Dufour, Julie Hubert +1
In the context of polymer surface treatment, the afterglow of an atmospheric pressure Ar/O radiofrequency plasma is characterized by optical emission spectroscopy, laser induce…
Chemical mechanisms inducing a dc current measured in the flowing post-discharge of an RF He-O2 plasma torch
Thierry Dufour, J Hubert, N Vandencasteele +1
The post-discharge of an RF plasma torch supplied with helium and oxygen gases is characterized by mass spectrometry, optical emission spectroscopy and electrical measurements. We…
