Abstract

Overall this research presents an analysis of a novel multi electrode discharge source in comparison to existing jet and parallel plate plasma (e.g. CCP) setups, via traditional parameters and electrical calculations and observations of transitions into different dynamic behaviours, where multiple advantages are evident. An SDBD used for comparison was installed in an SMPS system and compares favourably against traditional ionising sources for the purpose of nanoparticle detection, while a modified variant is utilised for successful chemical detection and quantification across a range of samples. (Truncated abstract due to embargo).
