Spraying of MgO films with a well-controlled plasma jet

With the use of our original thermal plasma reactor, spraying of MgO films was studied. Under some experimental conditions, MgO films were well prepared, although spraying of MgO is usually said to be difficult due to its particular properties. The relationship between spraying conditions, including basic parameters of plasma jet (i.e. chamber pressure, jet power, jet temperature, jet velocity and spraying distance) and the films prepared are briefly discussed.
