What is the lowest temperature plasma we can make? What substance is it.. what is the temperature it becomes a plasma (ions brake loose (?)) ? And what is the theoretical minimum - or even is there a limit?
From what I know it depends on how strong the bounds are and how well the electrons are held.. but for a super heavy not-yet-made element where there is enormous amount of electrons - the upper ones would be held weaker and weaker as the atom increases in proton number/ size. Or maybe not even atoms alone, but molecular groups.. they can share and hold electrons in a weird way..
