Nanoparticle formation and dynamics in laboratory hydrocarbon plasmas
Résumé
Nanoparticles can easily be grown in typical low-pressure laboratory plasmas containing hydrocarbon precursors coming from injected gases or sputtered films. In this presentation, the formation and dynamics of dense nanoparticle clouds are studied, in particular the interaction between the charged nanoparticles and the plasma that leads to complex nanoparticle cloud structures and to low frequency instabilities.
