Proposal Number: CTS-0602883Principal Investigator: Jose L. LopezInstitution: Saint Peters College, Jersey City, NJProposal Title: Partial Support for Graduate Students and Junior Faculty to Attend the 3rd International Workshop on Microplasmas This award partially supports the attendance of graduate students and junior faculty at the 3rd International Workshop on Microplasmas, which will be held from May 9-11, 2006 in Greifswald, Germany. The properties of microplasmas at high pressures are dominated by collisional and radiative processes beyond binary collisions involving ground-state species such as step-wise excitation processes (the excitation of excited states followed by collisions of the excited species with other particles resulting in new energy transfer routes) and three-body collisions leading e.g., to the formation of excimers. Such an environment facilitates many interesting applications including high power lasers, opening switches, novel plasma processing applications and sputtering, EM absorbers and reflectors, remediation of gaseous pollutants, medical sterilization and biological decontamination and excimer lamps and other non-coherent vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) light sources. The International Workshop on Microplasmas is uniquely positioned among the many plasma and gas discharge physics conferences as the only forum devoted exclusively to the advancement of the scientific challenges and technological opportunities afforded by microplasmas. The subject areas of the Workshop include basic plasma physics aspects relevant to microplasmas and microdischarges such as experimental and theoretical studies of these plasmas as well as modeling and simulation of the key processes in these plasmas. The Workshop also includes aspects related to the technological applications of microplasma and microdischarges with a special emphasis on biological and medical applications.Inspection of the scientific programs of many traditional gas discharge and plasma conferences reveals a rapidly increasing number of invited talks and entire session devoted to the physics and applications of microplasmas. This workshop series represents the only forum devoted entirely to this emerging field. The study of microplasmas is a new and emerging field that attracts young researchers in significant numbers because they see scientific challenges as well as technological opportunities in this area upon which they can build a successful academic careers. Additionally, microplasma applications appear to be an attractive playing field for small, hightech start-up companies which perceive that this field has a favorable timeline for marketplace realization of basic plasma concepts.

提案编号：CTS-0602883主要研究者：Jose L. Lopez机构：圣彼得学院，泽西城，新泽西州提案标题：部分支持研究生和初级教师参加第三届国际微等离子体研讨会该奖项部分支持研究生和初级教师参加第三届国际微等离子体研讨会，该研讨会将于2006年5月9日至11日在德国格赖夫斯瓦尔德举行。 高压下微等离子体的性质由碰撞和辐射过程支配，而不是涉及基态物质的二元碰撞，例如逐步激发过程（激发态的激发，然后是激发物质与其他粒子的碰撞，导致新的能量传递路线）和三体碰撞，准分子的形成这样的环境促进了许多有趣的应用，包括高功率激光器、断开开关、新型等离子体处理应用和溅射、EM吸收器和反射器、气态污染物的补救、医疗灭菌和生物净化以及准分子灯和其他非相干真空紫外（VUV）光源。微等离子体国际研讨会在众多等离子体和气体放电物理会议中具有独特的地位，是唯一专门致力于推动微等离子体所带来的科学挑战和技术机遇的论坛。讲习班的主题领域包括与微等离子体和微放电有关的基本等离子体物理学方面，如这些等离子体的实验和理论研究以及这些等离子体中关键过程的建模和模拟。研讨会还包括与微等离子体和微放电的技术应用有关的方面，特别强调生物和医学应用。对许多传统气体放电和等离子体会议的科学计划进行检查，发现邀请的演讲和整个会议的数量迅速增加，专门讨论微等离子体的物理和应用。这一系列研讨会是唯一一个完全致力于这一新兴领域的论坛。 微等离子体的研究是一个新的和新兴的领域，吸引了大量的年轻研究人员，因为他们看到了科学的挑战，以及在这一领域的技术机会，他们可以建立一个成功的学术生涯。 此外，微等离子体应用似乎是一个有吸引力的小，高科技创业公司认为，这一领域有一个有利的时间轴的市场实现的基本等离子体概念的竞技场。
