Plasma jets have been studied for a long time for their ability to generate fluxes of reactive species at low gas temperatures. This property makes plasma jets suitable for many different applications, such as surface treatments, food decontamination, plasma medicine, and water treatment.
Despite being relatively simple devices, their behavior is characterized by the coexistence of multiple physical and chemical mechanisms occurring across different spatial and temporal scales, as typically found for non-thermal plasma devices.
Experimental characterization and numerical simulations are essential tools for elucidating the underlying physical mechanisms of their operation and extending both the effectiveness and the spectrum of applications of these devices.
This Research Topic is aimed at providing the current state of the art concerning basic aspects of atmospheric pressure plasma jet design, construction, operation, and characterization, both from the experimental and modeling point of view. Furthermore, it is intended to give an overview of their applications. We thus invite scholars to submit both original research papers or reviews covering one or more of these topics. The papers are required to have a broad enough introduction and bibliographic section, so as to allow scientists from other fields to get a gentle introduction to the topic.
The Research Topic shall collect original research papers and review papers on the following topics:
- plasma jet design and construction
- plasma jet operational regimes, experimental characterization, and modeling
- diagnostics and modeling of the physical properties of plasma jets
- diagnostics and modeling of the chemistry induced by plasma jets in gas, liquid, and solid phase
- diagnostics and modeling of the interaction of plasma jets with matter
- applications of plasma jets in material science
- applications of plasma jets in the biomedical field
- applications of plasma jets in agriculture
- applications of plasma jets in cultural heritage protection
- production of plasma-activated liquids and their applications
- other applications of plasma jets
Keywords:
plasma jet, plasma physics, plasma sources, plasma applications, plasma medicine, plasma modeling
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
