Results of vacuum cleaning techniques on the performance of LiFfield-threshold ion sources on extraction applied-B ion diodes at 1-10TW

Uncontrolled plasma formation on electrode surfaces limits performance in a wide variety of pulsed power devices such as electron and ion diodes, transmission lines, radio frequency (RF) cavities, and microwave devices. Surface and bulk contaminants on the electrodes in vacuum dominate the composition of these plasmas, formed through processes such as stimulated and thermal desorption followed by ionization. We are applying RF discharge cleaning, anode heating, cathode cooling, and substrate surface coatings to the control of the effects of these plasmas in the particular case of applied-B ion diodes on the SABRE (1 TW) and PBFA-X (30 TW) accelerators. Evidence shows that our LiF ion source provides a 200-700 A/cm² lithium beam for 10-20 ns which is then replaced by a contaminant beam of protons and carbon. Other ion sources show similar behavior. Our electrode surface and substrate cleaning techniques reduce beam contamination, anode and cathode plasma formation, delay impedance collapse, and increase lithium energy, power, and production efficiency. Theoretical and simulation models of electron-stimulated and thermal-contaminant desorption leading to anode plasma formation show agreement with many features from experiment. Decrease of the diode electron loss by changing the shape and magnitude of the insulating magnetic field profiles increases the lithium output and changes the diode response to cleaning. We also show that the LiF films are permeable, allowing substrate contaminants to affect diode behavior. Substrate coatings of Ta and Au underneath the LiF film allow some measure of control of substrate contaminants, and provide direct evidence for thermal desorption. We have increased lithium current density by a factor of four and lithium energy by a factor of five through a combination of in situ surface and substrate cleaning, substrate coatings, and field profile modifications

It is explored that the physical property of Ar/Ar-O₂ discharge and the variation trend of electron excitation temperature with the changes of pressure, forward power and O₂ content in experiment. The result of residual gas analysis indicates that Ar/O₂ plasma processing can eliminate the carbide of the inner surface of cavity.

A cold thermionically emitting dusty air plasma formed by radiativeheating of graphite particulates

Formation of an atmospheric pressure dusty air plasma is explored experimentally in this paper. The plasma is created by seeding an air flow with graphite particles and irradiating the particulates with a focused CO₂ laser beam. The graphite particles are, thus, heated to thermionically emitting temperatures, and average particle temperatures and average particle number densities are measured. The presence of charges is inferred both from these measured quantities using a simple theoretical transient model, and experimentally by applying a dc bias across the irradiated region. It is found that an electron density of ~6.7 × 10⁵ cm^-3 (6.7 × 10¹¹ m^-3) can be produced at steady state in the presence of O₂. This value can be increased to 3.6 × 10⁷ cm^-3 (3.6 × 10¹³ m ^-1) in the ideal case where an electron attachment to O₂ is suppressed and where a lower work function particulate is used     

Pressure dependence of plasma parameters in medium-vacuum nitrogenarc discharge with the titanium cathode

The plasma properties of a medium-vacuum nitrogen arc discharge from a titanium cathode were studied. The arc chamber use was 400 mm in diameter and 600 mm in length. The cathode diameter and thickness were 64 and 25 mm, respectively. The experimental conditions are given as follows: pressure range=1×10^-3~2×10^-1 torr; N₂ gas flow rate=6 ml/min; arc current=50 A. Electric probe characteristics are measured as a function of pressure and distance from the cathode surface. The analytical results obtained show that the electron energy distribution takes 1-Mx at pressures above 1×10^-2 torr but 2-Mx at pressures under 4×10^-2 torr and that the electron density has a maximum value at a certain pressure. The Ti⁺, Ti⁺⁺, and N ⁺₂ ion spectral intensities are measured as a function of pressure and distance from the cathode surface. On comparison of these results and the electron density, the Ti⁺ spectral intensity turns out to be proportional to that of the electron density. This suggests that the major ion in the plasma volume is of the Ti⁺ species     

Effect of P2O5 addition on the structural and spectroscopic properties of sodium aluminosilicate glass

The structural and spectroscopic properties of Na₂O-Al₂O₃-SiO₂-xP₂O₅ glasses（x = 0 to 7 mol%） are investigated.Both Raman and IR spectra reveal that discrete phosphate species([PO₄]^-3,[PO3O_1/2]^-2) with low polymerization degree can be formed in the silicate glass.These phosphate structures scavenge non-bridging oxygen ions and cations from the silicate network,resulting in an increase of the glass transition temperature.According to the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters（Ω₂,Ω₄,Ω₆） of Er³⁺.the asymmetry of local environment around Er³⁺ becomes higher,and the bond covalency between Er³⁺ and O^2-decreases after P2O5 is introduced.In the emission spectra,photo-luminescence intensity increases with increasing P₂O₅ concentration and the spectra are inhornogeneously broadened,revealing that the ligand electric field around Er³⁺ is dramatically changed,and the glass matrix becomes disordered.     

Laser-particulate interactions in a dusty RF plasma

The interaction of particulates formed in an argon RF discharge containing 1-5% CCl₂F₂ admixture with a pulsed infrared laser (Nd:YAG, intensity ~10⁹ W m^-2, pulse duration ~10^-4 s) has been studied in situ. The white light emitted during this process has been monitored as a function of time and wavelength using a fast photo diode and an optical multichannel analyser. The spectra have been fitted with blackbody curves with a standard deviation of 5%. A spectral temperature of about 3500 K has been obtained for various plasma conditions and attributed to the decomposition temperature of the particulate material. A model based on laser heating, internal heat conduction and chemical decomposition is compared with the experimental results. This model predicts the time constants for heating and decomposition of the particulates and explains the dependence of the measured emission intensity on the laser intensity     

Sonochemistry of cytochrome c. Evidence for superoxide formation by ultrasound in argon-saturated aqueous solution

Formation of superoxide anion radicals (O₂^·−) induced by 50 kHz ultrasound in argon (Ar)-saturated aqueous solution was studied. Although EPR-spin trapping study with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO;100 mM) revealed the formation of DMPO-adducts of hydroxyl radicals (^·OH) and hydroperoxy radicals (HO₂^·; acid form of O2^·−) in O₂-saturated solution after sonication, no evidence of HO₂^· was found in Ar-saturated solution. When ferricytochrome c (cytochrome c) in Ar-saturated aqueous solution was sonicated, the reduced form of cytochrome c was observed and 80% of its formation was inhibited by the addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Sodium formate enhanced the production of the reduced form of cytochrome c. The % inhibition by SOD for the reduction increased in the order of Xe > Ar > He in accord with the higher temperatures of the cavitation bubbles. These results indicate that the O₂^·− is formed by directly by the sonolysis of water in the absence of O₂ when the temperature of cavitation bubble collapse is sufficiently high.     

Experimental and theoretical investigation of oxygen glow dischargestructure at low pressures

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the oxygen glow discharge structure at low pressures has been performed. Radial dependencies of the electron energy distribution function, the ambipolar plasma potential, and the negative ion concentration, as well as the axial electric field and the concentrations of atomic and singlet oxygen were measured. A new approach to the application of laser photodetachment method has been used to measure the negative ion concentration. It allows one to obtain information about fast processes after the photodetachment at low frequencies (~100-200 Hz) by using the simplest modulation technique. A self-consistent model involving the electrodynamics and kinetics of the discharge was developed. The observed variations of the negative ion densities with current density and oxygen pressure were explained in the model frame by a dependence of the detachment rate constant of the O^-+O→e+O₂ process on the effective ion temperature (k=1.9·10^-10-√1100/T_i^eff). It was shown that the feature of oxygen dc discharge at low pressures is a possibility to change the basic type of negative ions from the O^- to the O₂^-. This effect become more pronounced with decreasing current density

Characteristics of a vacuum spark triggered by the transient hollowcathode discharge electron beam

The discharge characteristics of a vacuum spark triggered by the transient hollow cathode discharge (THCD) electron beam is investigated over a wide variety of discharge conditions. Two systems of the vacuum spark device have been considered-the first system powered by eight 2700-pF doorknob capacitors charged to a voltage of 40 kV (input energy of 17.6 J); while the second system employs a single 1.85-μF Maxwell capacitor discharged at a voltage of 20 kV (input energy of 370 J). The operating pressure of these systems has been varied over the range of 10 ^-2 to 10^-5 mbar in order to examine the effect of the operating pressure on the plasma formation of the vacuum spark discharge. The effectiveness of plasma heating has been found to be significantly enhanced in the two vacuum spark systems studied here. In particular, the plasma of the 17.6 J system has been observed to be heated to a condition hot enough to emit in the X-ray region when the operating pressure is reduced from 10^-2 to 10^-5 mbar. Similarly, in the case of the 370 J system, hot spot formation is also observed to occur only at a low operating pressure of 10^-4 mbar     

Experimental observations of steady anodic vacuum arcs withthermionic cathodes

Stationary plasma discharges have been investigated in a high vacuum ambient (background gas pressure <10^-2 Pa), with an externally heated cathode and a consumable hot evaporating anode. With various anode materials like chromium or copper, and electrode separations between 0.5 and 3 mm, the nonself-sustained discharge operates with DC arc currents in the range of 220 A. The waveform of the arc voltage is strongly influenced by the magnetic field of the cathode heating current, and arc voltages between a minimum of 3 V and a maximum exceeding 100 V have been observed. The voltage-current characteristics (V_CC) and the influence of the electrode separation have been measured separately for the minimum and the maximum of the arc voltages and show a different behavior. The metal plasma expands into the ambient vacuum toward the walls of the vacuum vessel and offers a macroparticle free deposition source of thin films. The arc voltage can be varied by external manipulations of the arc discharge, and the mean ion energy of the expanding metal plasma shows a linear dependence of the mean arc voltage

Low specific contact resistivity to graphene achieved by AuGe/Ni/Au and annealing process

Low metal-graphene contact resistance is important in making high-performance graphene devices.In this work,we demonstrate a lower specific contact resistivity of Au_(0.88)Ge_(0.12)/Ni/Au-graphene contact compared with Ti/Au and Ti/Pt/Au contacts.The rapid thermal annealing process was optimized to improve AuGe/Ni/Au contact resistance.Results reveal that both pre- and post-annealing processes are effective for reducing the contact resistance.The specific contact resistivity decreases from 2.5 × 10~(-4) to 7.8 × 10~(-5) Ω·cm~2 by pre-annealing at 300 ℃ for one hour,and continues to decrease to9.5 × 10~(-7) H·cm~2 after post-annealing at 490 ℃ for 60 seconds.These approaches provide reliable means of lowering contact resistance.

Modeling and measurement results of the RF input impedance of a helical resonator discharge are given. A simple microstrip transmission line model is used to extract an equivalent circuit of a helical resonator discharge. The transmission line model consists of a grounded cylinder for RF shielding, a helical copper coil for RF heating, and a high density plasma. Transmission line parameters for an experimental helical resonator discharge chamber are extracted, and the results are compared with the measured results. The measured transmission line parameters for the experimental reactor are the characteristic impedance of 200 Ω, the attenuation constant of 6×10^-3 Np/m, and the wave number of 0.36 rad/m, which have good agreement with the calculated values
