摘要
In this letter, a room temperature atmospheric pressure plasma jet device is reported. The high voltage electrode of the device is covered by a quartz tube with one end closed. The device, which is driven by a kilohertz ac power supply, is capable of generating a plasma plume up to I I cm long in the surrounding room air. The rotational and vibrational temperatures of the plasma plume are 300 and 2300 K, respectively. A simple electrical model shows that, when the plasma plume is contacted with a human, the voltage drop on the human is less than 66 V for applied voltage of 5 kV (rms).
