On this occasion, we extend our sincere thanks to each and everyone who has made our first issue a grand success. We hope this second issue will be much more acceptable to our well-wishers who search for new sources of information. In recent decades, the growth of knowledge has prompted researchers and academicians to join in addressing complex problems that must be attacked simultaneously with deep knowledge from different perspectives. We strongly believe that in this modern world of unrest and uncertainties the vision of our patron St. Thomas Aquinas, a scholar and theologian with unparalleled insight, is of great importance. He views that knowledge is what helps man to actualize the potentialities of the human mind. It is with this in mind that we have ventured into the ever evolving area of research and its publication. The present issue of Aquinas Journal of Multidisciplinary Research is a glance across the research landscape of different ideas and approaches from various disciplines. It provides a platform for the researchers and academicians to share their knowledge. We wish all to stimulate your discussions and innovations through this journal. It aims to be a space for discussion and critique through the presentation of theoretical and empirical evidences. The editorial board expresses the sincere gratitude to all the contributors who have generously shared their expertise with us. We thank all our well-wishers for their whole hearted support and co-operation in making the publication of this issue a reality. We would also take this opportunity to thank the editorial board for their commitment and passion in bringing out this eventful issue. Editors: Prof. Sylvia K.

The device comprises of a resonant structure fabricated on a dielectric substrate that consists of two concentric rings having splits at diametrically opposite ends. The presence of splits allows the geometry to resonate at a particular frequency which is a function of the electric pat length between the rings, the composite dielectric constant of the substrate and the medium in which SRR is immersed. The resonance characteristics are investigated for different geometries using commercial electromagnetic simulation tools, Ansoft-HFSS and CST-Microwave Studio, and validated experimentally. Using this method qualitative information of spatial sensitivity and the Quality factor of the resonators are studied. The device is applied to magnetized plasma chamber for measuring electron density and compared against standard Microwave Hairpin probe. Keywords: Split Ring Resonator, Hairpin Resonator, Low-Temperature Plasma. 1 Aquinas Journal of Multidisciplinary Research INTRODUCTION Modern life-style is predominantly dependent on plasma technologies ranging from communication, energy security and bio-medical applications. The plasma technologies are inevitably used for a large variety of applications from the manufacturing of Pentium chips, anti-reflection coatings on solar photo-voltaic cells, surface modification of artificial medical implants, etc. These technologies require precise controlling of plasma parameters involved during the processing of substrates. Plasma diagnostics plays a vital role for characterizing the plasma tools. Precise measurement of plasma parameters and sensors for monitoring plasma properties can ensure process reproducibility thereby reducing the manufacturing cost [1]. The present study focuses on investigating the property of a split-ring-resonator for diagnosing the electron density of a given Plasma environment. The device is based on microwave resonance of a well-defined geometry. The main advantage of the device is that it is a planar device that can be embedded on the wall of the plasma source and has adequate spatial resolution. 1. THE SPLIT RING RESONATOR PROBE A simple circular split ring resonator is used for the study [2]. The geometry of the structure used is depicted in fig. 1. The design of the resonator based on the equivalent circuit of the split ring resonator is explained in the following paragraphs. The resonance frequency of the SRR depends on the geometry and the dimensions of the resonator i.e. the dielectric properties of the substrate, the width of the rings, gap between the rings, the radius of the rings, the position of the slot, etc. A MATLAB based GUI calculator [3] is used in this study to calculate the dimensions of the SRR. The parameters of the Split Ring Resonator are detailed below. 2 Aquinas Journal of Multidisciplinary Research h = height of the Desired frequency = 3GHz. substrate, rex = Substrate used = FR4 (Relative
