在350~1150 nm范围内对开放空间Ar气介质阻挡放电等离子体的发射光谱进行测量,表明Ar发射谱线主要集中在680 nm~950 nm,且都为Ar原子谱线。采用发射光谱相对强度对比法,选取相距较近且有相同下能级的727.29 nm(2P2-1S4),738.40 nm(2P3-1S4)和751.47 nm(2P5-1S4)三条光谱测量电子温度。通过对在Ar气和空气中放电谱线的对比和分析,得出发射光谱相对强度与电源功率的关系。最终得出若要便于工业应用和光谱测量,需要选择特定的气体流量和电源功率。     

发射光谱法对早期激光诱导铝合金等离子体诊断研究

对激光诱导等离子体参数进行诊断有多种方法,其中采用发射光谱法对其诊断是一种重要的方法。文中采用Nd∶YAG固态激光器,输出波长1 064 nm红外激光与铝合金样品相互作用,深入研究了铝合金等离子体产生早期(<1 μs)谱线轮廓、谱线强度、线背比、谱线半峰宽及位移等随时间演变规律。研究表明,激光与物质相互作用早期,电子数密度非常大,电子与离子及原子之间的相互作用非常强烈,谱线的Stark展宽效应非常明显,导致多重谱线重叠在一起,随时间演变,电子数密度及电子温度的降低,多重谱线的半峰宽越来越窄且谱线轮廓对称性越来越好。MgⅠ285.212 6 nm谱线强度早期逐渐增强,大约100 ns左右谱线强度达到最大值,然后谱线强度呈逐渐减小的趋势,这是由于等离子体产生早期,电子及离子占主导地位,故早期原子谱线强度较弱,随时间演变,电子与离子之间的复合,原子数密度逐渐增加,故原子谱线逐渐增强,达到最大值之后,由于等离子体激发温度的降低,故谱线强度逐渐减弱。以NIST波长位置为参考,等离子体产生的早期谱线发生了红移,连续背景强度随时间演变呈幂函数形式急剧递减,与之相反,谱线的连续背景强度与谱线强度相比,连续背景衰减的速度更为迅速,故导致谱线信背比随时间演变呈增大趋势,本研究对等离子体早期这些现象从理论角度进行了深入探讨。     

Observation of the coherence between the plasma density fluctuations in the core and at the edge of the plasma column in the L-2M stellarator

Results are presented from the measurements of the radial coherence between the plasma density fluctuations in the core and at the edge of the plasma column in the L-2M stellarator. It is found that the radial coherence between these fluctuations is fairly high: the coherence coefficient attains a value of higher than 0.5 for the spectral wavelet components with frequencies lying in the range from several kilohertz to 30 kHz. The statistical characteristics of density fluctuations are also studied. It is shown that the power distribution function of the plasma density fluctuations in the plasma core differs from Gaussian.     

Investigations on the effect of process parameters on the growth of vertically oriented graphene sheet in plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition system

A multistage numerical model comprising the plasma kinetics and surface deposition sub-models is developed to study the influence of process parameters, namely, total gas pressure and input plasma power on the plasma chemistry and growth characteristics of vertically oriented graphene sheets (VOGS) grown in the plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition system containing the Ar + H₂ + C₂H₂ reactive gas mixture. The spectral and spatial distributions of temperature and number densities, respectively, of plasma species, that is, charged and neutral species in the plasma reactor, are examined using inductively coupled plasma module of COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2 modelling suite. The numerical data from the computational plasma model are fed as the input parameters for the surface deposition model, and from the simulation results, it is found that there is a significant drop in the densities of various plasma species as one goes from the bulk plasma region to the substrate surface. The significant loss of the energetic electrons is observed in the plasma region at high pressure (for constant input power) and low input power (for constant gas pressure). At low pressure, the carbon species generate at higher rates on the catalyst nanoislands surface, thus enhancing the growth and surface density of VOGS. However, it is found that VOGS growth rate increases when input plasma power is raised from 100 to 300 W and decreases with further increase in the plasma power. A good comparison of the model outcomes with the available experimental results confirms the adequacy of the present model.     

Emission properties of laser ablation of SnO2: Sb transparent conducting film and KTiOPO4 crystal

Optical emission spectra of Nd:YAG laser ablation of KTiOPO₄ (KTP) crystal and SnO₂:Sb transparent conducting thin film were recorded and analyzed in vacuum and in air. The integral intensities of spectral lines from laser-ablated KTP crystal were obtained as functions of distance from the target surface and laser power density in vacuum and in air. The ambient gas effects on pulsed laser ablation of target were discussed. We also performed laser ablation of SnO₂:Sb transparent conducting thin film in air and the electron temperature and full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of atomic and ionic spectral lines in the plasma were quantified using Boltzmann plot method and Lorentzian fit, respectively. Integral intensities of atomic and ionic Sn spectral lines were also obtained as functions of distance from the target surface and laser irradiance. The intensity ratio of ionic and atomic Sn spectral lines as a function of laser power density was got which gives some information about the variation of ionization ratio with laser irradiance in the plasma produced by high-power laser.

Emission characteristics of a high-power glow discharge plasma in a mixture of inert gases with bromine and iodine vapor

The results of an investigation of the UV radiation from the plasma of a dc glow discharge in mixtures of inert gases with bromine and iodine molecules are presented. The current-voltage and spectral characteristics of a longitudinal glow discharge with a power of 10–250 W are studied. The power and the efficiency of the total UV radiation of the plasma, as well as the power of radiation at the spectral line of the iodine atom at 206.2 nm, are optimized as functions of the power deposited into the plasma and the composition of the gas mixture. In active media based on Kr-Br₂ mixtures, the molecular emission of the plasma was represented by bands at 207 (KrBr(B-X)) and 289 nm (Br ₂ ^* ), while, in He-Xe-I₂ mixtures, it was represented by bands at 253 (XeI(B-X)) and 342 nm (I₂).     

Mechanisms of the destruction of micron conductors by an electromagnetic pulse with a subnanosecond front

The results of the experiments on the destruction of micron-diameter conductors by an electromagnetic pulse, which is generated in an inhomogeneous coaxial line by a high-voltage power source and has a subnanosecond front, are reported. The role of electrodynamic processes in the surface layer of microconductors and in environment in the formation of the spatial structure of the plasma channel and in the transformation of the energy of the source to the energy of radiation has been revealed. The spectral characteristics of the radiation of the plasma channel have been analyzed. It has been shown that the radiation spectrum at the time of the formation of the plasma corona is continuous. The most intense spectral lines of copper (510.554, 515.324, 521.82 nm) appear at ∼3 ns after the formation of the plasma corona. The temperature has been estimated from the ratio of the intensities of the spectral lines as T _e ∼ 0.7 eV.     

Short wavelength X-ray emission generated by highly excited cluster beams

X-ray radiation is studied for large clusters consisting of 10⁷–10¹⁰ atoms and irradiated by an intense laser pulse with an intensity ranged from (10¹⁴ up to 10¹⁸ W/cm²). The model is developed for such a laser plasma that includes the radiative transitions and the processes of excitation and quenching of multicharged ions of this plasma by electron impact. Due to interaction of a radiating multicharged ion with a surrounding plasma, spectral lines of emission are broaden and neighboring spectral lines are overlapped. As a result, the spectrum of radiation of multicharged ions is transformed into a continuous spectral band. The model under consideration includes important plasma processes including dielectronic recombination, spontaneous radiation, excitation, quenching and ionization of multicharged ions by electron impact. On the basis of the model developed the X-ray spectrum and spectral power are evaluated. In the range of laser intensities under consideration a laser plasma formed contains multicharged ions with charges Z = 26?36 that corresponds to the 3d-electron shell in the xenon case.

Redistribution of average radiation power in individual spectral ranges is observed.

Superluminal spectral densities of ultra-relativistic electrons in intense electromagnetic wave fields

Superluminal radiation from electrons accelerated in electromagnetic waves is investigated. The radiation field is a Proca field with negative mass-square, minimally coupled to the electron current. The spectrum is continuous in the ultra-relativistic regime, where steepest-descent asymptotics can be used to evaluate the power coefficients. The time averaging of Lissajous orbits in polarized wave fields is discussed, and the tachyonic spectral densities of electrons orbiting in intense laser beams are derived. In the ultra-relativistic limit, realized by high injection energy or high field intensity, the spectral functions are evaluated in closed form in terms of Airy integrals. In contrast to electromagnetic radiation, there is a longitudinal polarization component, and oscillations emerge at high beam intensity in the longitudinal and transversal spectral slopes, generated by the negative mass-square of the tachyonic quanta. The thermal ultra-relativistic electron plasma of two active galactic nuclei is analyzed in this regard, based on TeV spectral maps obtained with imaging air Cherenkov detectors. Specifically, tachyonic cascade fits are performed to γ-ray flares of the TeV blazars RGB J0152+017 and 3C 66A, and the transversal and longitudinal radiation components are disentangled in the spectral maps. The curvature of the spectral slopes is shown to be intrinsic, caused by the Boltzmann factor of the electronic source plasma radiating the tachyonic cascades.
