Abstract
Microplasmas inside confined cavities, pores and capillaries of dielectric materials present a great potential for various environmental applications. The paper briefly introduces the physical properties of the AC microplasmas generated by the discharges inside porous ceramics foams and focuses on their chemical effects in various mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen. Ozone formation as an example tool to evaluate the chemical potential of the microplasmas was investigated as a function of discharge power, gas mixture composition and total gas flow rate.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
