A plasma-chemical zero-dimensional model for non-thermal atmospheric pressure Argon plasma jet

Plasma jets are currently used in many technological application. In this kind of plasma sources, plasma is delivered by “afterglow”. The main advantage is that the temperature of the afterglow is relatively low, therefore, it is applicable for treating the heat sensitive material. However, the chemistry of the delivered plasma is complicated due to presence of ambient air. For plasma treatment of living tissues in medicine and inanimate surfaces, it is important to have knowledge and control of the chemistry of plasma.
