Looking back on the history of plasma science and technology, new various types of plasma sources, such as atmospheric-pressure low-temperature plasmas, have been developed, establishing new application frontiers of it, for examples, plasma medicine.
In this talk, as a typical example, we will give a topic about plasmas in cryogenic conditions, especially, cryoplasmas, whose plasma gas temperatures are controlled at temperatures lower than room temperature [1-4].
