Pin-to-liquid discharges are investigated for the activation of liquids dedicated to agriculture applications. They are characterized through their electrical and optical properties, with a particular attention paid to their filaments and self-organized patterns occurring at the liquid interface. We show how modulating their interaction with ambient air can promote the production of reactive species in liquids such as H2O2, NO2- and NO3-. The effects of the resulting plasma activated media are reported on lentils seeds.

In this work, the temporal decay of electrons produced by an atmospheric pin-to-pin nanosecond discharge operating in the spark regime was measured via a combination of microwave Rayleigh scattering (MRS) and laser Rayleigh scattering (LRS). Due to t he initial energy deposition of the nanosecond pulse, a variance in local gas density occurs on the timescale of electron decay. Thus, the assumption of a constant collisional frequency is no longer applicable when electron number data is extracted from the MRS measurements. To recalibrate the MRS measurements throughout the electron decay period, temporally-resolved LRS measurements of the local gas density were performed over the event duration. Local gas density was measured to be 30% of the ambient level during the later stages of electron decay and recovers at about 1 ms after the discharge. A shock front traveling approximately 500 m/s was additionally observed. Coupled with plasma volume calibration via temporally-resolved ICCD imaging, the corrected decay curves of the electron number and electron number density are presented with a measured peak electron number density of 4.5*10^15 cm^-3 and decay rate of ~ 0.1-0.35*10^7 s^-1. A hybrid MRS and LRS diagnostic technique can be applied for a broad spectrum of atmospheric-pressure microplasmas where a variation in number gas density is expected due to an energy deposition in the discharge.
A pin liquid anode DC discharge is generated in open air without any additional gas feeding to form self-organized patterns (SOPs) on various liquid interfaces. Axially resolved emission spectra of the whole discharge reveal that the self-organized p atterns are formed below a dark region and are visible mainly due to the N2 transitions. The high energy N2 (C) level is mainly excited by the impact of electrons heated by the local increased electric field at the interface. For the first time, the effect of the liquid type on the SOP formation is presented. With almost the same other discharge conditions, the formed SOPs are significantly different from HCl and H2SO4 liquid anodes. The SOP difference is repeated when the discharge current and gap distance change for both liquid anodes. The variations of SOP size and discretization as a function of discharge current and gap distance are discussed and confirm that different SOPs are formed by the HCl liquid anode from tap water or the H2SO4 liquid anode. A possible explanation is brought up to explain the dependence of SOPs on the liquid type.
In this work, we present an experimental study of nanosecond high-voltage discharges in a pin-to-pin electrode configuration at atmospheric conditions operating in single-pulse mode (no memory effects). Various discharge parameters, including voltage , current, gas density, rotational/vibrational/gas temperature, and electron number density, were measured. Several different measurement techniques were used, including microwave Rayleigh scattering, laser Rayleigh scattering, optical emission spectroscopy enhanced with a nanosecond probing pulse, fast photography, and electrical parameter measurements. Spark and corona discharge regimes were studied with discharge pulse duration of 90 ns and electrode gap sizes ranging from 2 to 10 mm. The spark regime was observed for gaps < 6 mm using discharge pulse energies of 0.6-1 mJ per mm of the gap length. Higher electron number densities, total electron number per gap length, discharge currents, and gas temperatures were observed for smaller electrode gaps and larger pulse energies, reaching maximal values of about 7.5x10^15 cm-3, 3.5x10^11 electrons per mm, 22 A, and 4,000 K (at 10 us after the discharge), respectively, for a 2 mm gap and 1 mJ/mm discharge pulse energy. Initial breakdown was followed by a secondary breakdown occurring about 30-70 ns later and was associated with ignition of a cathode spot and transition of the discharge to cathodic arc. A majority of the discharge pulse energy was deposited into the gas before the secondary breakdown (85-89%). The electron number density after the ns discharge pulse decayed with a characteristic time scale of 150 ns governed by dissociative recombination and electron attachment to oxygen mechanisms. For the corona regime, substantially lower pulse energies (~0.1 mJ/mm), peak conduction current (1-2 A), and electron numbers (3-5x10^10 electrons per mm), and gas temperatures (360 K) were observed.
High density ($.3 < bar{n}/10^{20}{rm m^{-3}} < .8$), low $q_a$ ($1.9<q_a<3.4$), Ohmic discharges from the ASDEX experiment is analysed statistically. Bulk parameter scalings and parameterised temperature and density profile shapes are presented. T he total plasma kinetic energy, assuming $T_i=T_e$, scales as $bar{n}^{ .54pm .01} {I_p}^{.90pm .04 } $ and is almost independent of $B_t$. The electron temperature profile peaking factor scales as ${T_0^{3/2}/<T^{3/2}>} = .94(pm.04){q_a}^{1.07pm.04}$ in close agreement with the assumption of classical resistive equilibrium. In the inner half of the plasma, the inverse fall-off length for both temperature and density has a strong dependence on $q_a$, with the temperature dependence being more pronounced. Outside the half radius, the $q_a$ dependence disappears but the density profile broadens near the edge with increasing plasma current.
A lightning surge generator generates a high voltage surge with 1.2 microsec. rise time. The generator fed a spark gap of two pointed electrodes at 0.7 to 1.2 m distances. Gap breakdown occurred between 0.1 and 3 microsec. after the maximum generator voltage of approximately 850 kV. Various scintillator detectors with different response time recorded bursts of hard radiation in nearly all surges. The bursts were detected over the time span between approximately half of the maximum surge voltage and full gap breakdown. The consistent timing of the bursts with the high-voltage surge excluded background radiation as source for the high intensity pulses. In spite of the symmetry of the gap, negative surges produced more intense radiation than positive. This has been attributed to additional positive discharges from the measurement cabinet which occurred for negative surges. Some hard radiation signals were equivalent to several MeV. Pile-up occurs of lesser energy X-ray quanta, but still with a large fraction of these with an energy of the order of 100 keV. The bursts occurred within the 4 nanosec. time resolution of the fastest detector. The relation between the energy of the X-ray quanta and the signal from the scintillation detector is quite complicated, as shown by the measurements.
