Course Details

Objectives : The Science and Technology of Plasmas (STP) course can be followed:
either entirely at the University of Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier,
or as part of a dual degree with one of the Canadian partner universities.
In both cases, the objective is to train students in the physics of cold plasmas and the technologies using these plasmas by giving them solid theoretical and experimental bases. For this, this course relies on long periods of internships in both Master 1 and Master 2.

Regarding the international part, students can follow this course as part of a dual degree with one of the Canadian partner universities (INRS, Université Laval and Université de Montréal). For this, we rely on the many relationships that exist with Quebec, as is the case, for example, with the International Research Network (IRN) Controlled Multifunctional Nanomaterials, which brings together a community of more than a hundred researchers. Each year, 5 to 10 students go to Canada for a one-year stay in this framework.

Public concerned : Students, Professionals in Continuing Education

Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)

Admission requirements : Since Sept. 2022, the Master's course "Sciences et Technologies des Plasmas" (STP) which was attached to the Master's mention EEA of the University Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier is attached to the new Energy mention.

For entry in M1:
- The Master 1 Energy STP is open to holders of an EEA, Physics or Physics-Chemistry license, Sciences for Engineers, but there is no full access to Master 1 Energy: All Students who have acquired a degree of license may apply.
- Foreign students holding a foreign diploma must obtain information in order to use the application procedure adapted to them (Study in France, ...).
- As part of the Bi-Diploma program, the partner Canadian University reserves the right to request a specific license to host students. For example, for the Université de Montréal, students must hold a degree in Physics.

For entry into M2 Energy STP:
- Students holding the first year of the Master EEA STP of Paul Sabatier University are admitted as of right in M2.
- Students who hold another M1 from Paul Sabatier University or an M1 (or equivalent) from another French institution must apply on the university's website.
- Foreign students holding a foreign diploma must obtain information in order to use the application procedure adapted to them (Study in France, ...).
- Students coming from lateral flows entering directly in M2 will not be able to access bi-graduation with a Canadian partner university

Acquired skills during the training : Analyze the different physical mechanisms involved in plasma media by mobilizing the fundamental physical principles associated with plasmas and electrical discharges
Dimension and create a measurement chain for a plasma system.
Understand the interactions and the coupling between the plasma and the electrical network (power circuit).
Design dedicated simulation software.
Use and configure commercial simulation software (COMSOL, Fluent Ansys, etc.).
Identify and implement different characterization techniques for plasma media based on instrumentation adapted to plasma diagnosis: electrical diagnostics, optical emission and absorption spectroscopy, laser diagnostics, thermography, imaging.
Dimension and design a plasma system in a complex environment according to specifications.
Identify the technologies adapted to the different plasma sources.
Identify the type of plasma suitable for the intended application.
