The Center for Plasma-Material Interactions is a research center that is housed in the Nuclear Radiation Laboratory within the Department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The center studies all aspects of plasma-material interactions that are relevant to fusion, semiconductors, and plasma manufacturing. This is achieved through experimental, theoretical and computational methods via and extensive suite of experimental devices. Projects are supported by government grants and commercial partners to further the application and knowledge of plasma physics and engineering to various applications.
History
The Center for Plasma-Material Interactions was established in 2004 by Professor David N. Ruzic and focuses on understanding the complex behavior between the ions, electrons and energetic atoms generated in plasmas and the surfaces of materials. CPMI has grown to not only encompass low temperature plasmas, plasma processing but also fusion plasmas.
