27.09.2012 - ALUSHTA WORKSHOP „NANO- AND MICRO-SIZED STRUCTURES IN PLASMAS“
The Workshop „Nano- and micro-sized structures in plasmas“ has been organized from 17th to 22nd of September 2012 in Alushta (Crimea) Ukraine, as a part of collaboration between Institute for Experimental Physics II (Bochum) and V. N. Karazin Kharkov National University (Kharkov, Ukraine). During one-day session, several invited lectures and progress reports on various aspects of nanoparticle production and nanostructure processing in reactive plasmas have been presented. Young scientists have been encouraged to take part in a poster session with their original work. Among the numerous applicants, the six best contributors have been financially supported for their travel expenses. Two contributions form Bochum have been presented: Dr. Ilija Stefanović gave a lecture on “Fabrication of Nanopowders in RF Plasmas: Diagnostics and Modelling” and PhD student Thomas Gautier reported on “Titan’s Aerosol Analogues Produced by RF Plasma”.
This workshop has been organized as a part of International Conference & School on Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion and its organization has been financially supported by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
York
01.10.2012 - VISIT OF DANIEL SCHRÖDER AT THE YORK PLASMA INSTITUTE
From September 23rd to September 26th, 2012, PhD-student Daniel Schröder from project A1 visited the group of Professor Timo Gans at the University of York. His group is investigating the physics of low temperature plasmas at low and high pressures and is resident at the York Plasma Institute.
Within the already well-established cooperation, common experiments in the field of high pressure micro-plasmas for bio-medical applications have been planned. Complementary laser-based diagnostics together with optical emission spectroscopy are used to develop a deeper understanding of the production of reactive species in jet-like discharges and their interaction with biological materials. A return visit is planned for spring 2013.
