微波液相等离子体发射光谱研究

为了研究微波液相放电等离子体的基本物理现象和放电特性,为微波液相放电技术奠定一定的理论基础,利用发射光谱仪对水中微波液相放电及放电中产生的活性粒子进行了检测,同时对微波液相放电光谱数据统计方法进行了研究。 利用发射光谱仪结合数控摄像机对微波液相放电过程中起始放电和稳定放电两个过程进行了同步检测拍摄。 实验结果发现：微波液相等离子体发射光谱强度波动较大,光谱强度可以用10个光谱数据点进行平均计算;放电的强度在一定程度上可以由等离子体区域面积所反映,尽管如此,等离子体区域面积和羟基自由基发射光谱强度的变化梯度并不一致,这主要是因为在放电过程中,放电强度不仅体现在等离子体区域面积,同时也与等离子体区域的亮度有关。

Surface streamer microwave discharge

An atmospheric-pressure pulsed microwave discharge on the surface of an insulating plate and between two insulating fllms is considered. The discharge is initiated in a quasi-optical microwave beam away from the beam-forming elements. The TEM field of the beam is less than the critical breakdown value. The initiator is a metallic dipole placed either directly on the plate surface facing away from the radiation source or between the films. The discharge has the form of branching streamer channels adjacent to the surface and filling up the cross section of the microwave beam with a field level higher than the value separating the subcritical and highly subcritical forms of the microwave streamer discharge.     

Nonequilibrium plasma produced by microwave nanosecond radiation:parameters, kinetics, and practical applications

The results of the investigation of nonequilibrium plasma produced by powerful microwave nanosecond radiation is reviewed. Nanosecond microwave discharge is a new branch of gas discharge physics. At present, this type of discharge is intensively investigated. Interesting properties and peculiarities of such a discharge and various its applications are discussed, first of all for the creation of an artificial ionized layer (AIL) in the earth's atmosphere. The laboratory experiments performed and the new effects which appear in nanosecond microwave discharge are briefly summarized. Different applications of AIL are analyzed on the basis of the experimental modeling     

Thermal ionization instability of an air discharge plasma in a microwave field

Results are presented from experimental studies of the initial stage of an air discharge initiated in a linearly polarized quasi-optical microwave beam. The discharge was excited at an air pressure at which the electron-neutral collision frequency in the discharge plasma was considerably higher than the circular frequency of the electromagnetic field and at a microwave field amplitude close to the threshold field for air breakdown. The experiments revealed relatively bright plasma channels stretched along the microwave electric field. The development rate of these channels and their characteristic transverse dimensions are estimated. A comparison of the experimental data and theoretical estimates indicates that the channels observed arise due to the onset of thermal ionization instability in the microwave discharge plasma.     

Measurement of intense microwave field patterns using a neon glow indicator lamp

A novel method using small neon glow lamps with electrodes is developed for measuring intense microwave field patterns. When the lamp axis coincide with the electric field direction, the lamp discharge starts at the feeblest microwave electric field strength. Therefore, the lamp axis shows the field direction and the discharge starting indicates the field strength. The field strength for starting the microwave discharge is less than the strength for AC discharge, because of its low loss discharge mechanism. In the experiments using a microwave oven, it has been demonstrated again comparing with the simulated results that the method is able to use for measuring the intense electric field strength and direction.     

Pulsed microwave discharge in atmospheric air in the focus of a two-mirror resonator

Free-localized pulsed microwave discharge in atmospheric air in the focus of an open two-mirror high-Q resonator excited by linearly polarized electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 4.3 cm is described. This discharge is analogous to the previously studied streamer resonance microwave discharge ignited under similar conditions but with an electromagnetic radiation wavelength of 8.9 cm. Starting from a certain overcritical electric field, the discharge plasma channel has a high-temperature core.     

Electric discharge in air in a deeply subcritical field of a quasi-optical microwave beam

We describe the results of experiments on initiation of an electric discharge in air in a quasi-optical microwave beam by an electromagnetic vibrator fixed above the screen. This method for initiating the electrical breakdown makes it possible to obtain a discharge at a level of the electric field component in the microwave, which two orders of magnitude lower than the minimal critical field of the electrodeless breakdown of air. In our experiments, the threshold value of the air pressure determining the low- and high-temperature forms of the microwave discharge are determined depending on the field level.     

Multipoint Ignition of a Gas Mixture by a Microwave Subcritical Discharge with an Extended Streamer Structure

The results of experimental studies on using an electrical discharge with an extended streamer structure in a quasioptical microwave beam in the multipoint ignition of a propane–air mixture have been reported. The pulsed microwave discharge was initiated at the interior surface of a quartz tube that was filled with the mentioned flammable mixture and introduced into a microwave beam with a subbreakdown initial field. Gas breakdown was initiated by an electromagnetic vibrator. The dependence of the type of discharge on the microwave field strength was examined, the lower concentration threshold of ignition of the propane–air mixture by the studied discharge was determined, and the dynamics of combustion of the flammable mixture with local and multipoint ignition were compared.

Deeply undercritical microwave discharge excited by the field of a quasi-optical electromagnetic beam in a supersonic air jet

Electric discharge in a supersonic air jet is studied. It is ignited in a linearly polarized quasi-optical microwave electromagnetic beam the initial field intensity of which is much lower than the breakdown level. Electric breakdown is initiated by a tubular electromagnetic vibrator, one end of which has spikes and is covered by a quartz tube. Atmospheric air enters into a low-pressure working chamber through the inner channel of the vibrator. As a result, an immersed supersonic air jet forms in the chamber at the outlet from the quartz tube. A microwave discharge ignited in this jet is “attached” to aft spikes of the vibrator. The energy deposit into the discharge plasma and the effective area of energy interaction between the discharge and excited microwave field are estimated from the temperature and stagnation pressure distributions in the wake of the discharge.     

微波液相放电乙醇制氢发射光谱研究

氢能作为一种高热值、无污染的清洁能源日渐受到国内外专家学者的追捧。微波液相放电技术在醇类中制氢具有光明的研究前景,为氢能的研究开发开辟了一条新的途径。通过对乙醇制氢发射光谱分析,有利于分析微波液相放电醇类制氢机理的探讨,为进一步改进微波液相放电制氢技术奠定基础。本文采用2.45 GHz频率微波在液相醇类中放电实现了微波液相等离子体制氢,并借助发射光谱仪对微波液相放电乙醇制氢光谱特性进行了研究。研究结果显示：微波液相放电乙醇制氢过程中,能产生大量的H,O,OH,CH,C₂等活性粒子;乙醇放电光谱中OH自由基、H自由基和O自由基的光谱强度要远大于纯水中OH自由基、H自由基和O自由基的光谱强度;高能粒子打开水分子中的O—H键,脱氢制氢的过程较乙醇分子难度要大,因此在微波乙醇放电制氢过程中,氢气的来源主要是乙醇分子的脱氢重组,水分解产氢的贡献度较低;在外界压力与温度一定的条件下,OH,H,O自由基的发射光谱强度随着功率的增加显著增强,而CH和C₂活性粒子发射光谱强度则出现减弱趋势,这表明较大的微波功率不仅使产生的高能粒子的能量增加,同时高能粒子的密度也有所增加,导致较多的CH和C₂基团被充分碰撞打开。     

Effective area of energy interactions between the plasma of a deeply subcritical microwave discharge and its initiating electromagnetic field

Experiments on initiating electrical air discharge in an airtight radiotransparent volume have been described. The discharge is initiated by a quasi-optical linearly polarized microwave beam with a deeply subcritical field by means of an electromagnetic vibrator mounted above a screen. The results make it possible to calculate the effective area of energy interaction between the plasma of the discharge and its initiating microwave field. It has been shown that this area considerably exceeds the cross-sectional area of the discharge.     

Low pressure radio frequency and microwave discharges for d.c. sputtering of ferromagnetic materials

This paper describes a d.c. diode sputtering system in which the sputtering discharge is sustained by an r.f. or microwave plasma excited with a helix coil surrounded by eight SmCo magnets. The discharge is characterized in terms of the discharge d.c. current through the cathode. The microwave and r.f. excitation and two different configurations of the magnets are compared. The production of r.f. or microwave discharge in a magnetic field makes it possible to operate this system even at low pressures down to 0.01 Pa. This work was partly supported by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic under Project No. 106/96/K245.     

ECR离子源中的微波功率在线测量

 在中子发生器中采用ECR离子源是一种新技术。由于受结构的限制,ECR离子源不能像高频源离子源那样通过观察气体放电的颜色判断其工作状态,所以在运行中调节状态非常困难。解决这个问题的方法是：用定向耦合器加微波小功率计的方法在线测量ECR离子源的微波入射功率,通过微波入射功率可以直接得到ECR离子源引出离子束流的大小,从而推断微波信号源的放电过程是否正常,然后调整ECR离子源,最终使中子发生器工作在最佳状态。从ECR离子源后面的引出电极测得的最大束流为20 mA,且工作长时间稳定,当微波功率在160 W~500 W之间时,放电效果较好,离子束流随微波功率的增加而增加。

介质窗横向电磁场分布下的次级电子倍增效应

本文利用自编P3D3V PIC程序, 数值研究了BJ32矩波导传输TE₁₀模式高功率微波在介质窗内、 外表面引发的次级电子倍增过程, 给出了次级电子3维空间位置分布特征、介质窗表面法向静电场分布规律以及电子数密度分布特性. 模拟结果表明: 对于介质窗内侧, 微波强场区域率先进入次级电子倍增过程; 而对于介质窗外侧, 则是微波弱场区域优先进入次级电子倍增过程. 形成机理可以解释为: 微波坡印廷矢量方向与介质窗外表面法向相同而与内表面法向相反, 内侧漂移运动导致强场区域电子易于被推回表面, 有利于次级电子倍增优先形成; 外侧漂移运动导致强场区域电子易于被推离表面, 不利于次级电子倍增形成. 准3维模型相对1维模型: 介质窗内侧次级电子倍增过程中, 次级电子倍增进入饱和时间长、饱和次级电子数目少、平均电子能量高、 入射微波功率低、沉积功率低; 介质窗外侧次级电子倍增过程中, 次级电子倍增进入饱和时间短、饱和次级电子数目少、平均电子能量低、 入射微波功率低、沉积功率低. 沉积功率与入射微波功率比值与微波模式、强度及介质窗内外侧表面关系不大, 准3维和1维模型计算结果均在1%–2%左右水平. 关键词： 高功率微波 介质表面次级电子倍增 粒子模拟 横向电磁场分布

开放空间等离子体对微波传输影响的模拟研究

以氮气为背景气体,采用脉冲式微波产生等离子体,使用另外一束连续波作为传输模拟对象,并基于扩散效应的全域模型分析等离子体电子温度与电子密度的演化过程。实验中放电气压为300Pa,实验结果表明:在微波脉冲开始之后极短的时间内,连续波接受信号发生剧烈衰减;而在微波脉冲结束后,连续波接受信号则缓慢恢复。微波传输主要受到等离子体电子密度的影响,而全域模型的计算结果显示等离子体电子密度在开始放电时迅速上升,甚至高于放电微波频率对应的临界密度,在放电微波脉冲结束时电子密度则缓慢下降。这说明开放空间中等离子体在失去能量维持之后,由于扩散效应占主导作用,电子密度不会迅速下降,此时连续波依然会被阻碍,直到电子密度下降到连续波频率对应的临界密度以下。     

Generation of a uniform high-density microwave plasma for CO2 lasers using orthogonal electric fields

To realize a CO₂ laser using a fast-axial-flow high-output-power microwave discharge excitation, we devised a technology for making the microwave discharge uniform by varying the oscillation direction of an electric field with time. We also verified the effectiveness of this technology. As a result, we succeeded in increasing the discharge uniformity to 70% of the laser-tube cross-sectional area and realized a high laser output power and a high laser efficiency. In the case of a microwave input power of 1450 W, a maximum laser output power of 273 W and a laser efficiency of 18.8% were achieved; in the case of a microwave input power of 1070 W, a laser output power of 214 W and a laser efficiency of 20.0% were achieved. At the time of maximum output power, a high input power density of 280 W/cm³, which is approximately 20 times that in a dc discharge method, was achieved. Thus, a high-output-power microwave-discharge-excited CO₂ laser has become feasible. PACS 42.60.By; 52.80.Pi
