磁场引起的潘宁离子源阻抗变化研究

以11 MV回旋加速器潘宁离子源作为研究对象,通过调节磁场强度研究了磁场对工作在弧放电模式下的潘宁离子源的影响规律,深入分析了该放电模式下的放电自持机制、磁场引起的阻抗变化规律、异常发光现象。实验在6 mL/min氢气流量下,保持离子源弧流不变,调节磁场强度,记录磁场强度对弧压的影响。实验结果表明:二次电子发射机制与热电子发射机制在潘宁源自持放电过程中发挥了同样重要的作用;在强磁场情况下离子源阻抗受到磁场变化影响不大,在磁场小于0.15 T时磁场的作用才变得明显;当磁场减弱至等离子体进入阻抗增长区后,存在一段等离子体剧烈放电、光强突然增加的区域。在实验的基础上,得到了设计潘宁源的启发,并分析了磁场对等离子体电导率影响的微观物理机制,这些有助于研制或使用工作在弧放电模式下的潘宁离子源。

磁场调控型离子源的设计与实验

磁场调控型离子源在离子源等离子体扩散空间中引入轴向强脉冲磁场,磁场起两方面的作用,一是形成潘宁放电效应,使原子、气体分子碰撞电离效率增加;二是在脉冲强磁场的作用下,强轴向磁场将质量较轻的离子约束在轴线上,对质量较重的金属离子约束能力较弱,导致其在等离子体膨胀引出通道中碰壁损失,能够提升引出轻离子的比例。开展了磁场调控的离子源放电结构、强脉冲螺线管磁场以及引出束流光学结构的设计;测量分析了引出离子流强和离子打靶束斑形貌。研究结果表明,强轴向磁场通过等离子体对混合离子成分的筛选作用,可有效提高引出离子流强中的轻离子成分比例。

ICP-AES法的外加磁场效应

等离子体与一般气体的不同之处就是它的运动受到磁场的影响,当等离子体横越磁力线运动时就会受到磁场的阻力,还会产生电流。发射光谱中常用的等离子体直流电弧的磁场效应已被研究和应用,它在外加磁场(50—400高斯)作用下可增加试样微粒在等离子体中的停留时间,改变激发温度和电子密度及其分布,改变电弧的外形,并使放电稳定,以致谱线强度有明显变化。例如在直流电弧和氩气气氛的情况下,非均匀磁场可使弧温提高780 K,电离度和电子密度也为之增加,钴、镍和锰的谱线强度分别提高到36.8、32.4和7.5倍。在直流电弧中加100高斯的均匀磁场,可使17个元素的谱线增强到1.7—43倍。对于交流电弧也发现了外加磁场的影响。将试液气溶胶喷入交流电弧进行分析时,600高斯的均匀磁场可使放电稳定,弧温增高600K,锰、铬、钼和铁的谱线强度增加到3—5倍。此外用空心阴极光源作光谱分析时,以及在激光微区光谱分析中,外加磁场也能提高灵敏度。但ICP光源的外加磁场效应尚未见报导。     

5MW中性束弧电源DC/DC变换器的设计与实现

中性束离子源弧放电具有气体放电等离子体的非线性特性,工作时还会受到气体压强、外磁场、阴极状态等因素的影响,采用晶闸管相控调压技术的弧电源很难实现对这种大功率电弧的稳定的闭环控制。为此,提出了一种多相多重的大电流DC/DC变换器,具有响应速度快、电流上升时间短、电流纹波小等特点,大幅提高了离子源弧放电闭环控制的稳定性。设计了滤波电感能量回馈电路,弧电源可以根据中性束系统的需要使弧电流快速减小0%~100%(可调),然后根据控制信号迅速恢复正常弧电流输出,形成一个弧电流凹坑。电源还采用超级电容储能技术,使电源体积减小了2/3,电网容量小于10kV·A。离子源放电时不会受到电网波动的影响,弧放电更加稳定。实验数据显示:该电源最大输出为220kW/1500A,电流纹波在1%以内,电流上升时间约100μs,最大超调量小于3%,可以满足5 MW中性束离子源及系统的要求。

Measurement of Mach probe on plasma flow velocity in highly collisional plasma jet

A normalized plasma flow velocity in highly collisional plasma formed by a microwave plasma jet, which is dimensionless unit for plasma flow velocity/ion acoustic velocity, was measured by the parallel Mach probe. To deduce the normalized plasma flow velocity under highly collisional plasma conditions, the collisional model of a Mach probe was proposed. In addition, neutral gas flow velocity which assumed to be plasma flow velocity was calculated by the turbulent model. The results for the two different models were compared with those for the collsionless models of the Mach probe. The turbulent model produced 2–4 times reduced values than by measurements with collsionless models. The measured results with the collisional model were shown as approximately 100–250% lower than those for collsionless models. They were obtained to be in good agreement with difference rate of 10–30% when compared to those for the turbulent model.     

Doubly‐Charged Xe Ions Evidenced by Time Resolved RPA Measurement in the Far Field Plume of a Low‐Power HET

A low power Hall Effect Thruster (HET), based on a permanent magnet circuit, was investigated in the GREMI laboratory facility. The thruster operated in the working range between 50 and 300 W and the previously measured thrust is between 4 and 16 mN for an anodic efficiency respectively between 15% and 27%. The pulsed character of the thruster current is an important feature of this HET. The ion current's bursts are recorded at 30 and 70 cm from the exit plane in the thruster plume and are time‐resolved, which lead to a preliminary analysis of the time of flight (TOF) phenomena. This paper presents a detailed study of these bursts of ion current in the plume. The total ion current is shown to be a superposition of 2 distinct contributions of charged species. In complement, a controlled single current interruption in stable anodic current condition leads to exactly the same features than in oscillating mode. This crucial verification garantees the validity of the time of flight origine of the two distinct contributions. Then, the slower one is the more intense and is proportional to the ion Xe+ current whereas the faster one could be attributed either to doubly‐charged Xe⁺⁺ or to superfast Xe⁺. The work presents a way to determine unambiguously the nature of the fast contribution by recording the Retardated Potential Analyser (RPA) signals at various repelling grid potentials with respect to time. The energy distribution of the 2 wellseparated contributions are reconstructed and confirms the contribution of doubly‐charged xenon ions (Xe⁺⁺) in the plume. This way of RPA collecting data and interpretation presents the main advantage tobe an easy way for the identification of the nature of the charged species in the plume.

Drift dissipative instability in a two temperature plasma

The presence of a small amount of relatively cold electrons in an otherwise hot plasma reduces the ion sound speed in the medium and hence reduces the growth rate of the drift dissipative ion acoustic mode in an inhomogeneous weakly ionized plasma. This is expected to improve the confinement time in certain magnetic confinement schemes. The propagation of a small but finite amplitude mode in the presence of ion viscosity is also investigated by using reductive perturbation method. It is shown that, when the damping due to ion viscosity is stronger than the growth due to collisions, there exists a stationary shock solution.

基于等离子体腔表面增强拉曼效应的研究

金属离子水滴与液态聚二甲基硅氧烷（PDMS）自发形成的等离子体腔作为一种新型的表面增强拉曼（SERS）基底将等离子体纳米颗粒整合到光学装置中，提高了SERS检测的实用性与可靠性，然而，与其他基底相比，对其最佳生长条件的研究很少。在此，用禁用兽药孔雀石绿（MG）作为探测分子，检验不同生长条件下等离子体腔的特性，包括生长温度和金属离子浓度，以研究等离子体腔的最佳生长条件。金属离子水溶液滴加到互不相容的液态PDMS上时，在表面张力和重力的共同作用下自发形成带开口的球形腔体。同时金属离子扩散到未固化的PDMS中并与残留的Si-H基团反应，金属离子逐渐还原成金属纳米颗粒，并随着PDMS的固化过程在腔体表面逐渐累积，最终形成等离子体腔。其不但能作为角度反射器将入射光限制在腔体中，而且可作为纳米级光子源将吸收的光散射到腔体中，这两个功能共同作用可在基底原本增强作用的基础上进一步提高对MG的拉曼增强效果。较高的生长温度在加快金属离子生长的同时也会加速PDMS的固化，以至于提前结束金属纳米粒子的生长过程。离子浓度越高，形成的金属离子颗粒越大，然而颗粒直径过大，等离子体腔表面的热点数量反而会减少，MG的拉曼增强减弱，因而，必定存在最优化的等离子体腔制备条件使基底对MG的增强效果达到最佳。设置了15，20，25和30 ℃的生长温度以及0.05，0.5，5和50 μg·mL-1的离子浓度，结果表明，在温度为25 ℃，0.5 μg·mL-1的生长条件下等离子体腔实现了对MG的最佳拉曼增强。对等离子体腔生长条件的优化，可为提高该类型基底的SERS增强效果，及可重复制备奠定基础。

Electrostatic ion cyclotron wave dispersion relation in a steady-state toroidal plasma

Summary Electrostatic ion cyclotron wave dispersion relation has been studied in the experiment THORELLO, a steady-state magnetized toroidal plasma, produced in different neutral gases by hot-filament electron emission and acceleration by a bias voltage. Electron temperature and density, evaluated by Langmuir probes, are of the order of 5eV and 10¹⁰ cm⁻³, respectively. The maximum toroidal magnetic field on the axis is about 2kG. The waves are excited by a pair of thin metallic blades, fed with opposite phase by a low power (<10 W) RF signal, and detected by a movable RF probe. An interferometric method allows the evaluation of the perpendicular wave number, for any given frequency. The fit of experimental data with theoretical curves gives the possibility to evaluate the order of magnitude of the ion temperature. To speed up publication, the authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.     

Temperature measurements in plasmas generated by using lasers at different intensities

The temperature of laser-generated pulsed plasmas is an important property that depends on many parameters, such as the particle species and the time elapsed from the laser interaction with the matter and the surface characteristics.

Laser-generated plasmas with low intensity (<10¹⁰ W/cm²) at INFN-LNS of Catania and with high intensity (>10¹⁴ W/cm²) in PALS laboratory in Prague have been investigated in terms of temperatures relative to ions, electrons, and neutral species. Time-of-flight (ToF) measurements have been performed with an electrostatic ion energy analyzer (IEA) and with different Faraday cups, in order to measure the ion and electron average velocities. The IEA was also used to measure the ion energy, the ion charge state, and the ion energy distribution.

The Maxwell–Boltzmann function permitted to fit the experimental data and to extrapolate the ion temperature of the plasma core.

The velocity of the neutrals was measured with a special mass quadrupole spectrometer. The Nd:Yag laser operating at low intensity produced an ion temperature core of the order of 400 eV and a neutral temperature of the order of 100 eV for many ablated materials. The ToF of electrons indicates the presence of hot electron emission with an energy of ～1 keV.
