Plasmas

Advanced Materials for Design and Photonic Applications Unit

• Processes assisted by thermal plasmas: plasma metallurgy; synthesis of nanomaterials; spheroidization of metal and ceramic powders; waste disposal and reuse; cutting and welding of metallic materials.

• Processes assisted by non-equilibrium plasmas at atmospheric pressure: surface treatments; thin film deposition; nanoparticle synthesis; disinfection; therapeutic applications.

• Chemical, physical, and electrical characterization of plasma systems.

• Modelling of equilibrium and non-equilibrium plasmas.

• Design of equilibrium and non-equilibrium plasma systems.
