ABSTRACT A novel plasma source suitable for controllable nanostructured thin film deposition processes is proposed. It exploits the separation of the process in two distinct phases. First precursor dissociation and radical formation is performed in a dense oxidizing plasma. Then nucleation and aggregation of molecular clusters occur during the expansion into vacuum of a supersonic jet. This allows a superior control of cluster size and energy in the process of film growth.

Reactive thermal plasmas: ultrafine particle synthesis and coating deposition1997 •
Thermal plasmas jets produced by d.c. arcs or RF discharges at pressures close to atmospheric pressure are characterized by the high temperatures (between 6000 and 14 000 K) of heavy species and high velocities (between 100 and 2500 m s−1) of plasma flow. They can be used either for their physical properties, i.e. acceleration and melting of solid particles (in the diameter range 10–100 μm) to spray thick coatings (from 0.1 mm to a few millimetres), or for their reactive properties. When reagents are introduced in the plasma stream, they are transformed in highly reactive radicals and/or atoms in excited states. These reactive species can form a coating with high deposition rates (∼100 μm h−1) due to the steep gradients in the boundary layer plasma–substrate: this process is called thermal plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition (PCVD). Without substrate and using adequate quenching, they can also form ultrafine particles, the size of which is controlled (with difficulty) by temperature during the quenching process. These PCVD processes can be used to form new chemical species on the surface of solid and molten particles in flight in the plasma jets, or on the resulting splats and between the successive passes to produce coatings with dispersed hard phases (reactive plasma spraying). It is also possible to agglomerate reactive particles (e.g. carbon and metal) a few micrometres in diameter, to achieve exothermic reactions within the particles in flight and spray carbide coatings in air. This paper presents our knowledge in these fields as follows: (1) the main characteristics of plasma d.c. and RF torches, transferred arcs and the injection of reagents and/or quenching gases; (2) the modelling problems of reactive gas flow injection; boundary layer close to the substrate; ultrafine particle synthesis with the corresponding experimental results obtained for PCVD coatings; thin film deposition by flash evaporation and ultrafine particle synthesis; and (3) the reactive plasma spraying achieved either by spraying agglomerated particles (in the 10–50 μm size range) where self-propagating high-temperature synthesis occurs, or by mixing a reactive gas with the plasma jet.
The requirements of nanocomposite thin films, having non-aggregated nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed in the matrix, have been realized using a new method of Direct Liquid Reactor-Injector (DLRI) of nanoparticles. In this approach, unlike conventional aerosol-assisted plasma deposition, the nanoparticles are synthesized before their injection as an aerosol into plasma. In our experiments, we have used two different plasma reactors, namely an asymmetric low-pressure RF plasma reactor and a parallel plate dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure. Our results have shown that DLRI can be easily coupled with various plasma processes as this approach allows the deposition of high-quality multifunctional nanocomposite thin films, with embedded nanoparticles of less than 10 nm in diameter. Hence, DLRI coupled with plasma processes meets the specifications for the deposition of multifunctional coatings.

In seventeenth-century Cartagena de Indias, a portcity in today's Colombia, enslaved Africans recently disembarked from the Middle Passage faced a Jesuit-designed multisensory catechesis. The process involved listening to translations of the Christian doctrine delivered by African interpreter-catechists enslaved by the Jesuits, often in conjunction with images. Hell featured prominently in this oral and visual catechesis. This essay analyses the violent confrontation between infernal imagery and survivors of the Middle Passage from regions in and around Kongo and Angola by unfolding a strategically oblique approach to the lacunar, biased records about this critical moment. It examines the vast Atlantic linguistic, spiritual, and visual ramifications of the catechesis to highlight the affective response of enslaved men and women to their captivity and displacement as subjects in history, viewers of works of art, and actors in the dramatic events of enslavement. It brings new, documented, historically situated, and culturally elucidated insights to the study of the transatlantic slave trade.
