Plasma-surface interaction phenomena induced by corona discharges. Application to aerosols detection and to diagnosis on surface layers

Atmospheric glow-like discharges can be powerful for gas and for surface diagnoses in gaseous environment. This paper deals specifically with interaction phenomena between such type of discharges and surfaces, which have proved their efficiency either for detection and diagnoses on gas polluting particles or for diagnoses on some characteristics of surface layers, especially on metals, but also on insulating materials.
