Plasma Physics and Technology Programme
The programme of plasma physics and technology conducts basic and applied research on the dynamical behaviour of plasmas. Our research has two main branches: fusion energy plasma physics and low-temperature plasma physics. Our research on fusion plasma physics focuses on experimental investigations of fast ion dynamics using our microwave collective Thomson scattering diagnostic systems, and on theoretical and numerical studies of turbulence and transport in fusion plasmas. Our research on low-temperature plasmas focuses on technical and industrial applications primarily in the areas of energy supply and emissions control, materials with designed properties, and sterilisation. The activities range from modelling of discharge plasma chemistry, through development and characterisation of plasma sources and processes, to the deployment of prototype devices.
Reactive Plasma Processing Group
Reactive plasmas are currently used in various advanced technologies involving etching, ashing, sputtering, deposition, oxidation, surface activation, passivation or implantation and also play an essential role in fabrication of nanostructures such as nanotips, nanotubes, nanowalls or ultracrystalline diamond. Strong research and development trends based on reactive plasmas also include atmospheric discharges, tribology, micro-discharges, sterilization and bio-inactivation, ozone production and NOx reduction.
Our research expertise includes:
- Development and characterization of plasma sources (CCP, ICP, SWP, magnetron, DBD, gliding arc, micro-discharges);
- Three dimensional plasma sheath lenses;
- Adhesion;
- Ozone production and NOx reduction;
- Tribology;
- Plasma immersed ion implantation;
- Plasma aided nanotechnology;
- Optical diagnostics;
- Plasma sterilization and bio-inactivation;
- Plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy;
- Productions and diagnostics of negative ions;
Current research projects:
- NOx reduction
- Improvement of Adhesion
- Plasma Sheath Lens
- Microdischarges
- Triboplasma
- Sterilisation
