Abstract :
Atmospheric pressure plasma jets offer a unique route to transport reactive chemical species generated under highly non-equilibrium conditions to a remote downstream sample; as such, they have become the device of choice in many biological and materials processing applications.1 While our understanding of the propagation mechanism behind the plasma plume is ever increasing,2 little is known of how, once launched, the properties of the ionisation front can be manipulated in such a way that a particular chemistry can be delivered to a particular spatial location downstream.
