介质阻挡均匀大气压氮气放电特性研究

基于一维流体力学模型，对介质阻挡均匀大气压氮气放电特性进行了数值计算研究.模型中考虑了氮气中主要的电离、激发过程，所包含的粒子种类为e，N₂，N⁺₂，N⁺₄，N₂(a¹∑^-_u)，N₂(A³∑⁺_u).模拟结果显示，氮中的放电具有低气压下汤生放电的特性.放电电流幅度较小，放电过程中气体电压变化缓慢，电子密度远低于离子密度，而且最大值出现在阳极，电子不能在放电间隙中被俘获，不存在中性等离子体区，气体中的电场趋于线性变化.亚稳态N₂(A³∑⁺_u)和N₂(a¹∑⁺_u)在整个放电空间都具有非常高的密度，比电子密度高三个量级以上，亚稳态密度的最大值出现在阳极，这样的分布决定了放电的空间结构.放电所需的种子电子主要由亚稳态之间潘宁电离提供，这种机理使放电的电离水平较低，导致氮气中的放电只能是汤生放电.随着放电参数的变化，多电流峰放电也可在氮气中获得. 关键词： 大气压均匀放电 介质阻挡放电 数值模拟 氮气

Numerical study on characteristics of nitrogen discharge at high pressure with induced plasma

Based on the fluid theory of plasma, a model is built to study the characteristics of nitrogen discharge at high pressure with induced argon plasma. In the model, the spices such as electron, N₂⁺, N₄⁺, Ar⁺, and two metastable states (N₂ (A³∑_u⁺), N₂ (a¹∑_u^-)) are taken into account. The model includes particle's continuity equations, electron's energy balance equation, and Poisson equation. The model is solved with a finite difference method. The numerical results are obtained and used to investigate the effect of time taken to add nitrogen gas and initially-induced argon plasma pressure. It is found that lower speeds of adding the nitrogen gas and varying the gas pressure can induce higher plasma density, and inversely lower electron temperature. At high-pressure discharge, the electron density increases when the proportion of nitrogen component is below 40%, while the electron density will keep constant as the nitrogen component further increases. It is also shown that with the increase of initially-induced argon plasma pressure, the density of charged particles increases, and the electron temperature as well as the electric field decrease.     

Electron Capture and Dissociative Excitation in Slow Collisions of Na+ and K+ Ions with Hydrogen and Nitrogen Molecules

Absolute cross sections of electron capture and dissociative excitation for the Na⁺-H₂, N₂ and K⁺-H₂, N₂ pairs are determined. The high intense hydrogen and nitrogen atomic lines HI (121.6 nm) NI (120.0 nm), have been observed. For the Na⁺-H₂ and K⁺-H₂ pairs the qualitative interpretation of experimental results in the framework of quasidiatomic approximation are carried out. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Production and loss of N2 + ions during the decay period of plasmas produced in helium-nitrogen mixtures

The time dependence of the number density of N₂ ⁺ ions during the decay period of plasmas produced in helium containing 0.05, 0.17 and 0.5 percent nitrogen was studied in the pressure range from about 0.3 to 7 Torr by means of mass spectrometer techniques. During the early part of the afterglow period the time dependence of N₂ ⁺ is controlled by ambipolar diffusion loss towards the plasma container walls. The product of the ambipolar diffusion coefficientD _a and the reduced pressurep ₀ wasD _ap₀=900± 50 cm² Torr/sec. The production of N₂ ⁺ by collisions between metastable nitrogen molecules determines the temporal behavior of the N₂ ⁺ density during the late afterglow for extremely pure discharge conditions. From the data it follows that the metastable molecules involved are de-excited by collisions with ground state helium atoms with a rate constant of 3.4 × 10^?15 cm³ sec^?1, while the radiative lifetime of these metastable molecules is at least 20 msec. The surface catalytic efficiency for de-excitation upon striking the molybdenum covered plasma container walls was estimated to be smaller than 10^?3. Energy and radiative lifetime requirements suggest that N₂ ⁺ is produced during the plasma decay period by the process N₂ (a′¹ Σ _u ^? )+N₂ (a′¹σ _u ^? →N₂ ⁺ (X²Σ _u ⁺ )+N₂(X)+e.     

The behavior of nitrogen excited in an inductively coupled argon plasma

An inductively coupled argon plasma, working at atmospherique pressure, was used as an excitation source for nitrogen gas. Excitation of atomic lines of N and of molecular bands of N₂ and N⁺₂ were observed. Two lines (389.2 and 388.8 nm) which were not previously described, are attributed to atomic nitrogen. Using the first negative system of N⁺₂, several temperature-measurement methods were used according to the resolving power of the monochromator. Good agreement is found between the rotational (4500–5000 K) and excitation temperatures (4500–5100 K) of elements injected into the plasma.     

Excitation of bands of the first negative system of the N 2 + ion in collisions of N+ and O+ ions with N2 molecules

Absolute values of the excitation cross sections of the (0,0) bands [for O⁺(⁴ S), O⁺(² P)-N₂ pairs] and the (0,0), (0,1), (1,2), and (2,3) bands [for N⁺(³ P)-N₂ pairs] of the first negative system of the N ₂ ⁺ ion have been measured in collisions with nitrogen molecules of nitrogen and oxygen ions in the ground state and in a metastable state in the interval of ion energies 1–10 keV. The process of excitation of the (0,0) band of the first negative system of the N ₂ ⁺ ion by oxygen ions in the metastable ² P state is of a quasi-resonant character. The presence in the beam of ions in metastable states was monitored by measuring the excitation efficiency of the (0,0) band λ3914 Å of the N ₂ ⁺ ion in different operating regimes of the highfrequency ion source. For N⁺ ions in the ³ P ground state, as the collision frequency is decreased the relative vibrational population of the v′=1 and v′=2 levels of the B ²Σ _u ⁺ state of the N ₂ ⁺ ion is observed to deviate strongly from the value calculated in the Franck-Condon model.     

Production and loss of N 2 + , Ne+ and Ne 2 + during the decay period of plasmas produced in neon-nitrogen mixtures

Studies of the time dependencies of the number density of N ₂ ⁺ , Ne⁺ and Ne ₂ ⁺ ions have been made during the decay period of plasmas produced in neon containing various concentrations of nitrogen molecules. Reaction rate constants were obtained for N ₂ ⁺ +N₂+Ne→N ₄ ⁺ +Ne((1.2±0.2)×10^?29 cm⁶ sec^?1) and Ne⁺+N₂→N ₂ ⁺ + Ne ((2.9±0.3) × 10^?12 cm³ sec^?1). The ambipolar diffusion coefficient of N ₂ ⁺ in neon was found to beD _a p _o =350±20 cm² sec^?1 Torr.     

Emission of cyan upon excitation of nitrogen,air, and N<Subscript>2</Subscript>-CH<Subscript>4</Subscript> mixture by discharge pulses in an inhomogeneous electric field

We have studied spectral and amplitude-time characteristics of the emission by nitrogen, air, and the N₂-CH₄ mixture upon excitation by nanosecond and microsecond high-voltage discharge pulses in an inhomogeneous electric field in the pressure range of 0.01–3 atm. In the pulsed and pulse-periodic discharge regimes, we have observed emission bands of the violet system of cyan, the transition B ²Σ⁺ → X ²Σ⁺, which were comparable in intensity with bands of the (2⁺) system of nitrogen. We show that, in the pulsed regime, the highest intensity of the violet system of cyan is observed in the N₂-CH₄ mixture. We show that, in the pulse-periodic discharge in nitrogen with a small amount of a carbon-containing admixture, upon contracting the discharge, the efficiencies of formation and emission of the violet system of cyan considerably increase. We confirm that admixtures of oxygen to nitrogen lead to suppression of the emission of the violet system of cyan molecules.     

Electron spin resonance detection and identification of nitrogen centers in nanodiamonds

Individual nitrogen centers N⁰ and nitrogen pairs N ₂ ⁺ have been detected and identified in natural diamond nanocrystals by means of the high-frequency electron spin resonance method. The N⁰ nitrogen centers have been observed in synthetic diamond nanocrystallites with a size of less than 10 nm produced by high-temperature high-pressure sintering of detonation nanodiamonds. Thus, the possibility of the stable state of impurity nitrogen atoms in diamond nanoparticles has been demonstrated.     

Mass spectrometer studies of the ion composition in the pink afterglow

The time dependences of the ion number densities in the pink afterglow of nitrogen, as represented by the ion wall currents, have been measured. The ions were extracted through an orifice from a flow system and analysed by a quadrupol mass spectrometer. It has been found thatN ₂ ⁺ ions are dominating in the early afterglow. With the beginning of the ionization processN ₃ ⁺ and at pressure >6 TorrN ₄ ⁺ become the majority ions. The ratio of the number densities(N ₃ ⁺ )/(N ₂ ⁺ ) reaches a maximum during the increase of the ionization processes before the maximum is reached. This behaviour suggestsN ₃ ⁺ ions to be the primary ions created by the ionization processes. The time dependences of the ion number densities (N ₂ ⁺ ), (N ₃ ⁺ ) and(N ₄ ⁺ ) are found to vary similar, showing that the ions are strongly coupled by conversion processes. The conversion processes are discussed. In the maximum of ionization at a total pressure of 4.4 Torr the ratios of the number densities of the afterglow ions (N ₂ ⁺ )∶(N ₃ ⁺ )∶(N ₄ ⁺) are 1∶1.9∶0.64.
