Description
During the spring semester of the year 2021, fellow student Miquel Hillen and I designed and constructed a high voltage, DC plasma reactor for Hasselt University, as part of a semester project. The reactor is automated using fundings both from FuseNet and PHYSXLAB, and offers the study of DC discharges in low pressures, the optical spectrum characterisation of low-pressure gases and the pressure/voltage relationships of self-sustaining plasmas of different gas types.
