Research Interests and achievement
Updated on September 3, 2006
My research interest is to study the physics and application of the plasma. Plasma consists of electrons, ions and neutral particles. It will demonstrate collective behaviors, such as wave motions, when the density of charged particles is high enough. Above all, the interactions inside plasmas are mostly ¡¨ heterogeneous¡¨, which means they involve interactions among violet light, electrons, ions, radicals, especially energetic particles. Consequently, there are many novel physical and chemical reactions occurring in plasmas. For instance, the growth of diamond films, carbon nanotubes. My research topics includes: (1) microwave large area surface wave plasma source and plasma resonance; (2) plasma immersion ion implantation and the dynamics of sheath; (3) inductively coupled plasma sources and plasma heating modes; (4) low temperature atmospheric plasma sources (dielectric barrier discharges, plasma jets); (5) diamond /DLC films, field emission; (6) single crystal diamond rod and devices; (7) liquid crystal alignment by plasma beams.
