Space and time resolved discharge images from an atmospheric pressure non-thermal bioplasma jet have been observed by a high-speed single-frame camera to investigate the electron temperatures. The plasma propagation speed on the cathode has been shown to be about 5 km/s at input voltage of 4.7 kV and driving frequency of 40 kHz. Particularly, the electron temperature in atmospheric pressure non-thermal bioplasma jet were found to be about 1.5 eV at input voltage of 4.7 kV and driving frequency of 40 kHz, respectively. Implications of the results and directions for further studies are discussed. Key words : Non-thermal plasma jet, Plasma propagation speed, Electron temperature ______________ # This project is supported by Kwangwoon University Research Fund, Korea .
