Density effects on the spectral emission of a high temperature argon plasma

In order to explain the detailed features of radiation spectra obtained from dense argon plasmas, an ionization-radiation model for argon has been constructed which calculates time-integrated spectra as a function of plasma temperature, density and size. The model describes a plasma in collisional-radiative equilibrium (CRE) by solving the time-dependent atomic rate equations for ground state and selected excited state populations of argon coupled with a probability-of-escape radiation transport scheme for both bound-bound and bound-free photons. Results are presented which illustrate basic changes in the X-ray spectra of an argon plasma as density is increased, in particular, relative intensities of resonance, satellite and intercombination lines as well as the free-bound continuum. In addition, temperature and density profiles from 1-D MHD calculations characterizing the peak emission from argon puffed-gas plasmas (≈10¹⁹ions/cm³) and argon-seeded laser-imploded microballons (?10²²ions/cm³) are post-processed using the model and the resulting spectra are discussed.

Radiative opacity of plasmas studied by detailed term (level) accounting approaches

Detailed term and level accounting (DTA and DLA) schemes have been developed to calculate the spectrally resolved and Rosseland and Planck mean opacities of plasmas in local thermodynamic equilibrium. Various physical effects, such as configuration interaction effect (including core-valence electron correlations effect and relativistic effect), detailed line width effect (including the line saturation effect), etc., on the opacity of plasmas have been investigated in detail. Some of these physical effects are less capable or even impossible to be taken into account by statistical models such as unresolved transition arrays, super-transition-array or average atom models. Our detailed model can obtain accurate opacity of plasmas. Using this model, we have systematically investigated the radiative opacities of low, medium and high-Z plasmas under different conditions of temperature and density. For example, for aluminum plasma, in the X-ray region, we demonstrated the effects of autoionization resonance broadening on the opacity for the first time. Furthermore, the relativistic effects play an important role on the opacity as well. Our results are in good agreement with other theoretical ones although better agreement can be obtained after the effects of autoionization resonance broadening and relativity have been considered. Our results also show that the modelling of the opacity is very complicated, since too many physical effects influence the accuracy of opacity. For medium and high-Z plasmas, however, there are systematic discrepancies unexplained so far between the theoretical and experimental opacities. Here, the theoretical opacities are mainly obtained by statistical models. To clarify the discrepancies, efforts from both sides are needed. From the view-point of theory, however, a DLA method, in which various physical effects can be taken into account, should be useful in resolving the difference. Taking gold plasma as an example, we studied in detail the effects of core-valence electron correlation and line width on the opacity. Our DLA results correctly explained, for the first time, the relative intensity of the two strong absorption peaks located near the photon energy of 70 and 80 eV, which was experimentally observed by Eidmann et al. [Europhys. Lett., 1998, 44: 459].     

Spectroscopic Diagnostics of Pulsed arc Plasmas for Particle Generation

Pulsed arc plasmas were diagnosed by means of emission spectroscopy. A capacitor was discharged through argon and hydrogen leading to a few cycles of damped current oscillation with ≈120 μs period and 5‐12 kA maximum current. Spectroscopic measurements in the visible range were carried out in order to characterise the electron temperature and density in the arc channel as well as electron and gas temperatures in the afterglow plasmas. Spectra were integrated over 10 μs time windows and shifted in time from pulse to pulse. The plasmas also contained substantial fractions of electrode material (brass), namely copper and zinc. The electron density was measured in the conventional way from the broadening of H_β or from the Ar I Stark width. In the arc channel, it ranged from about 3 · 10²² to 2 · 10²³ m^–3. The broadening of Zn II lines could also be used. Ratios of Ar I to Ar II and of Zn I to Zn II line intensities were analysed for the electron temperature. Line pairs were found which lay conveniently close in one frame of the spectrometer allowing automatic on‐line analysis without relying on reproducibility. Atomic physics models including opacity were developed for Ar II and Zn II in order to check the existence of a Boltzmann distribution of their excited states. These calculations showed that the observed levels were in fact close to thermodynamic equilibrium, in particular, if the resonance lines were optically thick. Electron temperature measurements yielded values between 14000 K and 21000 K. The gas temperature in the afterglow, where particles should have formed, was derived from the rotational and vibrational temperatures of C₂ molecular bands. Ratios between Cu I line intensities yielded the electron temperatures. Both were found to be a few 1000 K. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

The Non—local Thermodynamical Equilibrium Effects on Opacity

Based on the detailed configuration accounting(DCA) model,a method is developed to include the resonant photoionization and the excitation-autoionization in the non-local thermodynamical equilibrium (NLTE) average atom (AA) model.Using this new model,the mean charge states and the opacity are calculated for NLTE high-Z plasmas and compared with other results.The agreement with AA model is poor at low electron density.The present results agree well with those of DCA model within 10%.The calculations show that the NLTE effects on opacity are strong.     

Calculation of Recombination and Ionization Coefficients in Argon

Various methods for calculating electron-ion recombination and ionization coefficients for argon (α and S) have been developed in the past. For given values of electron temperature and electron density, a large dispersion exists between the different results due to a great number of parameters. We have developed the method based on the collisional-radiative model to calculate α and S for limited conditions (atmospheric pressure; strong resonance radiation absorption) in order to obtain realistic values applicable in real cases such as arc plasmas. Influences of resonance radiation absorption and atom-atom collisions have been studied. The collisional-radiative recombination coefficient has been compared with results obtained by other calculation methods: the best agreement occurs with the “bottleneck” model for high values of electron density and temperature. Finally the comparison with available experimental results shows a good agreement between our computed values and experimental values when experimental and theoretical conditions are analogous.     

Power Consideration for Pulsed Discharges in Potassium Seeded Argon

Minimization of energy consumed in plasma generation is critical for applications, in which a large volume of plasmas is needed. We suggest that a high electron density atmospheric pressure plasmas can be generated by pulsed discharges in potassium seeded argon at an elevated temperature with a very small power input. The ionization efficiency and power budget of pulsed discharges in such plasmas are analytically studied. The results show that ionization efficiency of argon, especially at small reduced electric field E/N （the ratio of the electric field to the gas number density）, is improved effectively in the presence of small amount of potassium additives. Power input of pulsed discharge to sustain a prescribed average level of ionization in potassium seeded argon is three orders of magnitude lower than that in pure argon. Further, unlike in pure argon, it is found that very short high-voltage pulses with very high repetition rates are unnecessary in potassium seeded argon. A pulse with lOOns of pulse duration, 5kHz of repetition rate, and 2Td （1 Td = 1 × 10^-21 Vm^2） of E/N is enough to sustain an electron density of 10^19 m^-3 in 1 arm 1500K Ar＋0.1% K mixture, with a very small power input of about 0.08 × 10^4 W/m^3.     

Effect of focal spot size on in-band 13.5 nm extreme ultraviolet emission from laser-produced Sn plasma

The effect of focal spot size on in-band 13.5 nm extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission from laser-produced Sn plasmas was investigated for an EUV lithography light source. Almost constant in-band conversion efficiency from laser to 13.5 nm EUV light was noted with focal spot sizes from 60 to 500 microm. This effect may be explained by the opacity of Sn plasmas. Optical interferometry showed that the EUV emission must pass through a longer plasma with higher density when the focal spot is large, and strong reabsorption of EUV light was confirmed by a dip located at 13.5 nm in the spectrum.
