Tenders Are Invited For Miscellaneous Special-Purpose Machinery – Acquisition Of An Atmospheric Plasma System

Miscellaneous Special-Purpose Machinery – Acquisition Of An Atmospheric Plasma System. The System Will Be Used To Carry Out Condensation And Nucleation Experiments Of Various Materials Introduced Into The Plasma In The Form Of Powders. Note That The Introduction Of Chemical Elements Into The Plasma In The Form Of Species Dissolved In The Solvent Will Also Be A Technical Option. The Powders Will Be Rapidly Vaporized In The Plasma And Then Condensed As The Vapor Moves Away From The Plasma. During This Transport, Cooling Allows For Homogeneous Nucleation And Condensation Of Nanometer-Sized Particles That Can Be Collected Directly From The Vapor Along A Thermal Gradient, Without Any Prior Interaction With The Casing. Below The Plasma Will Be A Chamber Used For Collecting Nucleated Particles In The Vapor Derived From Cooling The Plasma. Nucleation Will Take Place Without Interaction With The Internal Walls Of The Chamber. It Will Be Possible To Collect Particles Generated At Different Temperatures Within The Chamber.
