Heterogeneous recombination of neutral oxygen atoms on the surfaces of oxidized materials

Author(s): Domen Paul (Author), Miran Mozetič (Supervisor), Rok Zaplotnik (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

In this dissertation, we studied heterogeneous surface recombination of neutral oxygen atoms. We described plasma as a reliable source of neutral oxygen atoms and the behavior of neutral atoms in low-pressure plasma sustained by high-frequency discharges. Neutral atom density in the flowing afterglow and the recombination coefficient on several surfaces …

Superhydrophility of plasma treated materials

Author(s): Kristina Eleršič (Author), Miran Mozetič (Supervisor), Uroš Cvelbar (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2012

Type: Doctoral dissertation

In this doctoral thesis, we present the superhydrophilic effect on surfaces of three different materials, i.e. highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, graphite foil and graphite grain in polymer composite. In order to induce this complicated effect on the surface we used reactive oxygen plasma treatment. The plasma was created in glass …
