GRK 1051: Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Low-Temperature Plasmas: Diagnostics - Modelling - Application

近几十年来，人们对低温等离子体的科学基础和技术应用产生了浓厚的兴趣。等离子体技术最初应用于半导体行业，现已在冶金、光学、照明、汽车、生物技术和医药等多种行业中得到广泛应用。气体放电物理学曾经是一门《双城之战》的神秘学科，如今已发展成为等离子体科学和技术，而物质第四态的利用现在已被公认为高科技的一个分支。研究培训小组使鲁尔大学波鸿和贝吉舍大学伍珀塔尔在等离子体科学和技术方面实现了一项科学上杰出的研究和培训计划。低温等离子体中的非平衡现象与其他本地等离子体研究方向相协调，例如远离平衡的等离子体的普遍行为合作研究中心。诊断和建模用于分析低温等离子体的复杂动力学，创新应用被视为跨学科努力成功的真正标志。毕业生预计将在三年内获得博士学位，并在科学和技术卓越的高水平。博士论文的科学研究将通过全面的研究计划和一系列实际的实验室练习以及在选定的工业公司实习来补充。定期举行研讨会，让博士生有机会相互交流，并观看领先科学家的演讲。我们将与合作研究中心携手合作，建立一个活跃的研讨会文化。除了科学技术教育外，还将努力教授沟通和项目管理的软技能，特别强调实现国际竞争力。国际WE-Heraeus暑期学校低温等离子体物理、基础和应用及其大师班是研究培训组的组成部分。大力鼓励参加国际会议。与知名的国际合作伙伴组织进行密切的科学互动。其中包括阿姆斯特丹的科学和信息中心、埃因霍温的等离子体物理和辐射技术中心以及日本名古屋大学的等离子体纳米COE。

The recent decades have seen a surging interest for the scientific fundamentals and the technical applications of low temperature plasmas. Originally employed by the semiconductor industry, plasma based technologies have found a multitude of applications in industries as diverse as metallurgy, optics, lighting, automobile, biotechnology and medicine. The once arcane subject of gas discharge physics has become plasma science and technology, and the utilisation of the fourth state of matter is now acknowledged as a branch of high technology.The Research Training Group enables the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Bergische Universität Wuppertal to realise a scientifically outstanding research and training programme in plasma science and technology. The subject Non-equilibrium phenomena in low temperature plasmas harmonises well with the direction of other local plasma research, such as the Collaborative Research Centre Universal Behaviour of Plasmas far from Equilibrium . Diagnostics and modelling are employed to analyse the complex dynamics of low temperature plasmas, innovative applications are seen as the true hallmark of a successful interdisciplinary effort.The graduates are expected to achieve their PhD degree within three years, and at a high level of scientific and technical excellence. The scientific research for a doctoral thesis will be supplemented by a comprehensive study programme and a series of practical laboratory exercises and internships in selected industrial companies. Regular symposia are held to give the PhD students the chance to interact among each other and view presentations of leading scientists. Forces will be joined with the Collaborative Research Centre to establish a lively seminar culture. In addition to the scientific and technological education, there will be an effort to teach the soft skills of communication and project management.Particular emphasis will lie on achieving international competence . The international WE-Heraeus summer school Low Temperature Plasma Physics, Basics and Application and its master class are an integral part of the Research Training Group. Participation at international conferences is strongly encouraged. A close scientific interaction is conducted with renowned international partner organisations. Among them are the Center for Science and Information, Amsterdam, the Center for Plasma Physics and Radiation Technology, Eindhoven, and the Plasma-Nano COE of Nagoya University, Japan.
