Interview with JPhysD Section Editor: Peter Bruggeman
In the first of a series of interviews with JPhysD’s Section Editor, we begin with Peter Bruggeman; Richard and Barbara Nelson Associate Professor at The University of Minnesota and Section Editor of the ‘Low-temperature plasmas and plasma–surface interactions’ section.
DAMOP 2015, my post conference report
DAMOP 2015 has drawn to a close, and I have been reflecting on what has made this conference once again so special and enjoyable to attend. DAMOP is remarkable on many levels, but first and foremost, it has a very… Read More ›
Magnetic fluid spikes for air pollution control
Pollutants due to flue gases and exhaust emissions have been a significant worldwide problem in recent years. To date, non-thermal plasma has been employed in air purification devices, specifically the corona discharge technique. This technique typically uses a needle-like electrode or small diameter… Read More ›
Glow discharges and fast electrons
Glow discharges with electrostatic confinement of fast electrons, of which the best known example are hollow cathode discharges (HCDs), are widely used for diverse technological applications such as light sources, high-power electric switches and electric propulsion, amongst others. In a recent… Read More ›
JPhysD mid-year highlights
We’re coming up to almost halfway through 2015; where has the time gone?! In this years’ volume of JPhysD (48) we’ve published over 350 papers, including two special issues; Heusler compounds and Aluminium Plasmonics, and filled more than half of the years’ issues already. So let’s cast our eye over some of my highlights of 2015 so far in each section of JPhysD.
Special Issue on Filamentation
Last week JPhysB published a Special Issue on the subject of Filamentation. In their editorial Guest Editors Ruxin Li, Howard Milchberg and Andre Mysyrowicz explain: Twenty years after its first observation in air, the filamentation of ultrashort optical pulses remains… Read More ›
