    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2022) Adamovich, I.; Agarwal, S.; Ahedo, E.; Alves, L.L.; Baalrud, S.; Babaeva, N.; Bogaerts, A.; Bourdon, A.; Bruggeman, P.J.; Canal, C.; Choi, E.H.; Coulombe, S.; Donkó, Z.; Graves, D.B.; Hamaguchi, S.; Hegemann, D.; Hori, M.; Kim, H.-H.; Kroesen, G.M.W.; Kushner, M.J.; Laricchiuta, A.; Li, X.; Magin, T.E.; Mededovic Thagard, S.; Miller, V.; Murphy, A.B.; Oehrlein, G.S.; Puac, N.; Sankaran, R.M.; Samukawa, S.; Shiratani, M.; Šimek, M.; Tarasenko, N.; Terashima, K.; Thomas Jr, E.; Trieschmann, J.; Tsikata, S.; Turner, M.M.; Van Der Walt, I.J.; Van De Sanden, M.C.M.; Von Woedtke, T.
    The 2022 Roadmap is the next update in the series of Plasma Roadmaps published by Journal of Physics D with the intent to identify important outstanding challenges in the field of low-temperature plasma (LTP) physics and technology. The format of the Roadmap is the same as the previous Roadmaps representing the visions of 41 leading experts representing 21 countries and five continents in the various sub-fields of LTP science and technology. In recognition of the evolution in the field, several new topics have been introduced or given more prominence. These new topics and emphasis highlight increased interests in plasma-enabled additive manufacturing, soft materials, electrification of chemical conversions, plasma propulsion, extreme plasma regimes, plasmas in hypersonics, data-driven plasma science and technology and the contribution of LTP to combat COVID-19. In the last few decades, LTP science and technology has made a tremendously positive impact on our society. It is our hope that this roadmap will help continue this excellent track record over the next 5-10 years.

    Numerical analysis of the effect of nitrogen and oxygen admixtures on the chemistry of an argon plasma jet operating at atmospheric pressure
    ([London] : IOP, 2015) Van Gaens, W.; Iseni, S.; Schmidt-Bleker, A.; Weltmann, K.-D.; Reuter, S.; Bogaerts, A.
    In this paper we study the cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet, called kinpen, operating in Ar with different admixture fractions up to 1% pure ${{{\rm N}}_{2}}$, ${{{\rm O}}_{2}}$ and ${{{\rm N}}_{2}}$ + ${{{\rm O}}_{2}}$. Moreover, the device is operating with a gas curtain of dry air. The absolute net production rates of the biologically active ozone (${{{\rm O}}_{3}}$) and nitrogen dioxide (${\rm N}{{{\rm O}}_{2}}$) species are measured in the far effluent by quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy in the mid-infrared. Additionally, a zero-dimensional semi-empirical reaction kinetics model is used to calculate the net production rates of these reactive molecules, which are compared to the experimental data. The latter model is applied throughout the entire plasma jet, starting already within the device itself. Very good qualitative and even quantitative agreement between the calculated and measured data is demonstrated. The numerical model thus yields very useful information about the chemical pathways of both the ${{{\rm O}}_{3}}$ and the ${\rm N}{{{\rm O}}_{2}}$ generation. It is shown that the production of these species can be manipulated by up to one order of magnitude by varying the amount of admixture or the admixture type, since this affects the electron kinetics significantly at these low concentration levels.
