plasmanlähteet
Plasmanlähteet, often translated as plasma sources, are devices or phenomena that generate and sustain plasma. Plasma, sometimes referred to as the fourth state of matter, is an ionized gas composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. Plasmanlähteet are crucial for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications due to the unique properties of plasma.
These sources can be broadly categorized into thermal and non-thermal plasmas. Thermal plasmas, such as those
The mechanisms for creating plasma vary. Common methods involve electrical discharges, where an electric field ionizes
