Imaging Mie ellipsometry: dynamics of nanodust clouds in an argon-acetylene plasma

For the in situ analysis of nano-sized particles in a laboratory plasma, Mie ellipsometry is a well established technique. We present a simple setup with two CCD cameras to gain online spatiotemporal resolved information of the growth dynamics of particles which are produced by plasma chemical proce...

Description
Summary:For the in situ analysis of nano-sized particles in a laboratory plasma, Mie ellipsometry is a well established technique. We present a simple setup with two CCD cameras to gain online spatiotemporal resolved information of the growth dynamics of particles which are produced by plasma chemical processes in an argon-acetylene plasma. Imaging Mie ellipsometry proves to be a powerful technique to study the growth processes of nanodust in all its details.
