Diagnostics and modeling of plasma processes in ion sources

Influence of coexisting analytes in atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry

“…As shown in Figure 1, as the plasma density increases the curves shift outwards. In low-pressure plasmas, like glow discharges, the plasma densities are of the order of 1012 cm"3 (9). Moreover, in the case of microwave-induced discharges, even higher plasma densities can be obtained.…”

Radiation Hydrodynamics of Laser‐Induced Plasmas Using Dynamic Collision Frequencies

“…We describe the laser intensity profile Φ(x, t), integration of the specific intensity I over all frequencies and directions, by a simplified radiation transport equation neglecting scattering, reflection and emission [18]. The laser-profile is given by a Lambert-Beer expression [19] Φ(…”

Laser ablated zirconium plasma: A source of neutral zirconium

“…1,2 The dynamics of plasma generated by the interaction of intense laser pulses and target materials have been a subject of intensive investigation owing to its importance in a wide range of applications such as laser ablation for micromachining, 3 pulsed laser deposition for film growth, 4 plasma acceleration of relativistic high-energy charged particles 5 among others. 14 Laser-initiated ablation of neutral species, ions, and clusters has gained considerable importance in the recent past due to its applications such as laser-induced mass analysis, 15 generation of particle beams for secondary experiments 16 and even of atomic species that are difficult to produce by other means. 14 Laser-initiated ablation of neutral species, ions, and clusters has gained considerable importance in the recent past due to its applications such as laser-induced mass analysis, 15 generation of particle beams for secondary experiments 16 and even of atomic species that are difficult to produce by other means.…”
