#XEI Scientific and University of Southern California announce a publication in Advanced Materials on the use of downstream plasma cleaning The research team of Associate professor Stephen Cronin is located in the Ming Hseih Department of Electrical engineering
The paper describes how gentle oxygen plasma treatment produces direct bandgap transition in many-layer Mos2.*
*The authors (Rohan Dhall et al) chose to use the XEI Evactron Soft Clean plasma cleaner for the process.
Here, the plasma is generated by flowing room air past an electrode supplied with 20 W of RF power at 200 mtorr.
Samples are placed 6-10 cm away from the plasma source. Ionized oxygen atoms diffuse towards the sample chamber with low kinetic energies.
Samples were exposed to the O2 plasma for about three minutes. While typical plasma cleaners used in semiconductor fabrication operate using a"sputtering"mechanism where the sample is bombarded with ions carrying significant kinetic energy
remote plasma cleaners rely mainly on the chemical reactivity of the ionized oxygen to remove surface contaminants.
Analytical techniques including photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) are used to follow the effects of the plasma treatments on a range of samples having different numbers of layers.
The authors successfully demonstrate the generation of an indirect-to-direct bandgap transition in many-layer Mos2 through the use of an easy to use, scalable oxygen induced plasma process.
The direct gap semiconductor show a significantly enhanced PL emission due to the efficient absorption of light in direct gap materials
But graphene growth with the plasma technique is more orderly. The graphene deposits form lines that then grow into a seamless sheet,
A scaled-up version of their plasma technique could open the door for new kinds of electronics manufacturing,

This produces a plasma consisting of carbon ions, which is deposited as a coating on the workpiece in the vacuum.
The cylinder is converted evenly into plasma thanks to the scanning motion and rotation. To ensure a consistently smooth coating
a magnetic field guides the plasma and filters out any particles of dirt. The laser arc method can be used to deposit very thick ta-C coatings of up to 20 micrometers at high coating rates.
which can easily create self-ordered arrays of sub-20 nm features through simple spin-coating and plasma treatments.

#Aussie student proves existence of plasma tubes floating above Earth AN AUSTRALIAN scientist has discovered that giant, invisible,
moving plasma tubes fill the skies above Earth. It a finding that was met initially with a considerable degree of scepticism within the field of astrophysics,
Ms Loi has proven that the Earth atmosphere is embedded with these strangely shaped, tubular plasma structures.
and we are transitioning to the plasma of outer space. e saw a striking pattern in the sky where stripes of high-density plasma neatly alternated with stripes of low-density plasma.
Ms Loi said the drifting plasma tubes could distort astronomical data, especially satellite-based navigation systems.
The voxels are light emitted by plasma that's created when the laser's focused energy ionizes the air.
although some participants thought the plasma felt a little like a static shock. This isn't the first attempt at using femtosecond lasers to form air plasma,
says Chunlei Guo, professor of optics and physics at the University of Rochester, but the study should help in designing future femtosecond laser displays.
Ochiai says the most surprising thing he realized was that plasma was actually safe to touch in this application

and by standard RT-PCR (performed on plasma in the laboratory). Both RDT (on whole blood) and RT-PCR (on plasma) were performed also on 284 samples in the laboratory.
The RDT detected all confirmed cases of Ebola that were positive by RT-PCR in both point-of-care (28/105 patients)
They're made using tiny points of plasma light called voxels, that are created when the focused energy of a laser ionises the surrounding air.
"Our results led to calmer and safer plasma generation that can be incorporated into our daily lives."
and even plasmas stated Junhwan Kim a graduate student at Illinois and first author of the paper Nonreciprocal Brillouin Scattering Induced Transparency appearing in the journal Nature Physics.
The self-assembled pattern served as a template for forming posts in the solar cell like those in the moth eye using a plasma of reactive gases-a technique commonly used in the manufacture of semiconductor electronic circuits.
Novel method for controlling plasma rotation confirmed Such a method could prove important for future facilities like ITER,
Rotation can stabilize instabilities in plasma, and sheared rotation--the difference in velocities between two bands of rotating plasma--can suppress plasma turbulence,
making it possible to maintain the gas's high temperature with less power and reduced operating costs.
Today's tokamaks produce rotation mainly by heating the plasma with neutral beams which cause it to spin.
however, rotating particles that leak from the edge of the plasma accelerate the plasma in the opposite direction,
Stoltzfus-Dueck and his team influenced intrinsic rotation by moving the so-called X-point--the dividing point between magnetically confined plasma
and plasma that has leaked from confinement--on the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The experiments marked the first time that researchers had moved the X-point horizontally to study plasma rotation.
The results confirmed calculations that Stoltzfus-Dueck had published in a 2012 paper showing that moving the X-point would cause the confined plasma to either halt its intrinsic rotation
but modified rotation within the superhot core of the plasma where fusion reactions occur. The results indicate that scientists can use the X-point as a"control knob"to adjust the inner workings of fusion plasmas,
much like changing the settings on itunes or a stereo lets one explore the behavior of music.
"Why do plasmas rotate in the way they do? It's a puzzle. z
#Sweeping lasers snap together nanoscale geometric grids Now, scientists at the U s. Department of energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new technique to rapidly create nano-structured grids for functional materials with unprecedented versatility."
despite the fiery sheaths of superhot plasma around them, researchers say. The technology might also help keep communication lines open to other hypersonic vehicles,
This so-called"plasma sheath"acts as a mirror against electromagnetic signals under most conditions cutting off radio communications with anything outside the vehicle.
because sharp-nosed vehicles have thinner plasma sheaths than blunt-nosed ones. But sometimes, blunt-nosed bodies are preferable
Other approaches involve using magnetic fields to control the plasma sheath or injecting water or other liquids into the plasma sheath to make it more permeable to radio signals,
but these methods require extra power and weight, respectively. Now, Gao and his colleague Binhao Jiang, also of the Harbin Institute of technology, reveal they might be able to use the plasma sheath itself to enhance signals from antennas to maintain communications during hypersonic flight."
"We may have found a novel approach to solve the communication blackout problem, "Gao told Space. com. The researchers explained that,
In combination with the plasma sheath this"matched layer"would generate resonant conditions during hypersonic flight,
For the resonance to work, the thickness of this matched layer and the plasma sheath must be smaller than the wavelengths of the radio signals used for communication, the scientists noted.
The properties of the plasma sheath can vary during flight, complicating any efforts to generate resonance,
"We don't need to know exactly the properties of the plasma layer, but we need to know the ranges for these properties,

The plasma kills bacteria on the skin surface while the electrical fields stimulate microcirculation in the blood vessels, bringing more oxygen into the affected area;
