In this paper, we consider the method for observing and detecting of high-frequency pulsed plasma spark discharge by means of stroboscopic digital holographic interferometry to demonstrate the feasibility of the electron concentration assessment in nonthermal plasma. A spark discharge with a 5 kHz frequency and 1250 ns duration has been exited between two electrodes in atmospheric pressure. The sequence of holograms acquired due to the proper synchronization between plasma pulses, laser radiation, and the camera's frame grabbing that ensure the recording of the plasma pulses at different moments of time, and the temporal optical scanning of plasma pulse were realized. We also show that the phase difference contrast variation corresponds to the plasma's instant and indicates a change in the electron concentration in the discharge. The concentration of electrons at different moments of plasma existence has been estimated. The limitations of the proposed method are considered, and its applicability for the study of low-temperature pulsed plasma are discussed.

This work covers a Mg-Zn-Ca-Pr alloy fabricated by a novel method of mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Currently, magnesium alloys used as biomaterials are mostly commercial alloys without consideration of cytotoxicity from the perspective of biosafety. So far, the tribological and cytotoxic properties of Mg-Zn-Ca-Pr alloys have not been investigated.

Five carbide powders, TiC, CrC, ZrC, NbC and SiC, were selected as raw materials and mixed by dry or wet milling. Then (TiCrZrNb)C-SiC multiphase ceramics were successfully prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1900 °C, using D-HECs-1900 (dry milling method) and W-HECs-1900 (wet milling method), respectively. In this study, the effects of the ball milling method on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the multiphase high-entropy ceramics were systematically investigated.
