energetic plasma
1Plasma cleaning — involves the removal of impurities and contaminants from surfaces through the use of an energetic plasma created from gaseous species. Gases such as argon and oxygen, as well as mixtures such as air and hydrogen/nitrogen are used. Lower energy… …
2Plasma source — Plasma sources generate plasmas. Excitation of a plasma requires partial ionization of neutral atoms and/or molecules of a medium. There are several ways to cause ionization:collisions of energetic particles, strong electric fields acting on bond …
3Plasma recombination — is a process by which ions of a plasma capture the free energetic electrons to form new neutral atoms.Recombination usually take place in the whole volume of a plasma (volume recombination), although in some cases it is confined to some special… …

5plasma — plasmatic /plaz mat ik/, plasmic, adj. /plaz meuh/, n. 1. Anat., Physiol. the liquid part of blood or lymph, as distinguished from the suspended elements. 2. Cell Biol. cytoplasm. 3. whey. 4. a green, faintly translucent chalcedony. 5. Physics. a …
6Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition — PECVD machine at LAAS technological facility in Toulouse, France. Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is a process used to deposit thin films from a gas state (vapor) to a solid state on a substrate. Chemical reactions are involved… …
7Plasma (physics) — For other uses, see Plasma. Plasma lamp, illustrating some of the more complex phenomena of a plasma, including filamentation. The colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined… …
8Plasma rifle — TOCrightPlasma rifles are theoretical weapons often used in science fiction. They are, in effect, a type of raygun. Plasma weapons use a small nuclear reactor or fuel cell or other type of advanced energy storage device to power an… …
9Energetic Particles Explorer — Explorer 15 (EPE C) S …
10Dense plasma focus — Plasma gun redirects here. For the science fiction weapon, see plasma weapon (fiction). A dense plasma focus (DPF) is a machine that produces, by electromagnetic acceleration and compression, a short lived plasma that is so hot and dense that it… …
