About this ebook

Nonequilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma jets (N-APPJs) generate plasma in open space rather than in a confined chamber and can be utilized for applications in medicine. This book provides a complete introduction to this fast-emerging field, from the fundamental physics, to experimental approaches, to plasma and reactive species diagnostics. It provides an overview of the development of a wide range of plasma jet devices and their fundamental mechanisms. The book concludes with a discussion of the exciting application of plasmas for cancer treatment.

The book

  • provides details on experimental methods including expert tips and caveats.
  • covers novel devices driven by various power sources and the impact of operating conditions on concentrations and fluxes of the reactive species.
  • discusses the latest advances including theory, modeling, and simulation approaches.
  • gives an introduction, overview and details on state of the art diagnostics of small scale high gradient atmospheric pressure plasmas.
  • covers the use of N-APPJs for cancer applications, including discussion of destruction of cancer cells, mechanisms of action, and selectivity studies.
