Collaborative Research: Understanding Nanoparticle-Plasma Interactions in Dusty Non-Thermal Plasmas by Nanoparticle Probes and Online Aerosol Characterization
Research Objectives The goal of this research project is to understand the nature of charge interactions between plasmas and aerosol particles. Specifically, the project has the following objectives: 1) Study the effect of solid nanoparticles on properties of an atmospheric pressure plasma. 2) Study the influence of plasma density on the final charge of nanoparticles. 3) Develop a theoretical understanding of charge decay and charge dynamics in the spatial afterglow in support of experimental observations of the final charge of nanoparticles exiting a plasma.
