supply.
The weight ratio of ball to powder is 50:1.
The ball mill was a vibratory type and the milling cylinder vibrated with a
double amplitude of 7 mm and a frequency of 24 Hz.
The milling was under the protection of pure argon gas.
A.C. electricity (frequency 13 kHz) with the tension higher than 22 kV
was supplied to the electrodes. (depends on the experiment
requirement)
The tension and frequency of DBD was 24 kV and 14.4 kHz, respectively.
