Review of recent results on streamer discharges and discussion of their relevance for sprites and lightning (2010, background): “Li et al. [2009] calculate in pure N2, while Chanrion and Neubert [2010] have implemented artificial air (N2:O2 = 80:20), but no photoionization.”
Plasmas in liquids and some of their applications in nanoscience (2011, background): “…and strong acoustic effects [e.g. Devins and Rzad 1982, Chadband 1988, Beroual et al. 1988, Massala et al. 1998, Touya et al. 2006, An et al. 2007, Kolb et al. 2008, Ceccato et al. 2010] Applications in the low-voltage regime include some plasma-based electrosurgery [e.g. Stalder et al. 2001,…”
The physics of streamer discharge phenomena (2020, background): “Popular applications are plasma medicine [6–8] including cancer therapy [9] and sterilization [10], industrial surface treatment [11], air treatment for cleaning or ozone production [12, 13], plasma assisted combustion [14, 15] and propulsion [16, 17] and liquid treatment [18, 19].”
