Overview of the Princeton Collaborative Low Temperature Plasma Research Facility (PCRF)

PCRF (http://pcrf.pppl.gov) is a collaborative research facility providing expertise and instrumentation for comprehensive characterization of low temperature plasmas (LTPs) with focuses on i) plasma-liquid and plasma-solid interactions, ii) plasma transport, iii) collective phenomena in LTP, iv) use of LTP in modern applications, including nanomaterials processing and synthesis, microelectronics and quantum systems, energy and sustainability, aerospace and plasma medicine. PCRF collaborative users have access to the state-of-the-art research capabilities, including advanced plasma diagnostics, a variety of plasma sources, computational codes (e.g. 2-D and 3-D Particle-in-Cell codes and fluid codes), and theory support. Since its launch in 2019, more than 100 users from the plasma and other scientific communities including from academia, national labs and industry have been awarded runtime at the PCRF. In this presentation, we will overview PCRF research, capabilities, and opportunities for collaboration.
