离子推力器束流引出状态对栅极刻蚀的影响

为了研究30 cm离子推力器束流引出状态对栅极刻蚀的影响,建立了束流引出模型,并采用PIC-MCC方法对CEX离子造成的栅极腐蚀速率进行了计算,最后将计算结果与1500 h寿命试验结果进行比对分析。结果显示：束流正常聚焦时,在3 kW和5 kW两种工作模式下,加速栅和减速栅的质量刻蚀速率分别为(1.11～1.72)×10⁻¹⁵ kg/s及(1.22～1.26)×10⁻¹⁷ kg/s。在5 kW工况下,当屏栅上游等离子体密度达到4.03×10¹⁷ m⁻³时,束流出现欠聚焦现象,此时加速栅和减速栅的最大离子刻蚀速率分别为4.33×10⁻¹⁵ kg/s和4.02×10⁻¹⁵ kg/s;在3 kW工况下,当屏栅上游等离子体密度达到0.22×10¹⁷ m⁻³时,束流出现过聚焦现象,此时加速栅和减速栅的最大离子刻蚀速率分别为3.24×10⁻¹⁵ kg/s和5.01×10⁻¹⁵ kg/s。寿命试验结果表明,加速栅孔质量刻蚀速率的计算值与试验值比对误差较小,而由于束流离子对减速栅孔的直接轰击,导致减速栅孔刻蚀速率的计算值和试验值差异极大。经研究认为,对屏栅小孔采用变孔径设计,是降低当束流处于欠聚焦或过聚焦状态下,CEX离子造成加速栅孔和减速栅孔刻蚀速率,并提升推力器工作寿命的有效措施。     

Basic physics of colloidal plasmas

Colloidal plasma is a distinct class of the impure plasmas with multispecies ionic composition. The distinction lies in the phase distribution of the impurity-ion species. The ability to tailor the electrostatic interactions between these colloidal particles provides a fertile ground for scientists to investigate the fundamental aspects of the Coulomb phase transition behavior. The present contribution will review the basic physics of the charging mechanism of the colloidal particles as well as the physics of the collective normal mode behavior of the general multi-ion species plasmas. Emphasis will be laid on the clarification of the prevailing confusing ideas about distinct qualities of the various acoustic modes, which are likely to exist in colloidal plasmas as well as in normal multi-ion species plasmas. Introductory ideas about the proposed physical models for the Coulomb phase transition in colloidal plasma will also be discussed. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Calculating the thermodynamic parameters of dense gases and weakly ionized plasmas including three-body interactions

A model is developed for the equation of state of dense gases and nonideal plasmas in the approximation of three-body interactions. The reduced third virial coefficient is calculated for a number of spherically symmetric pairwise additive interaction potentials of neutral and charged particles. Its temperature dependence is constructed for various potentials. The density and composition of plasmas in a number of pure substances are calculated numerically. Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 68, 130–132 (July 1998)     

Physical aspects of dust–plasma interactions

Low-pressure gas discharge plasmas are known to be strongly affected by the presence of small dust particles. This issue plays a role in the investigations of dust particle-forming plasmas, where the dust-induced instabilities may affect the properties of synthesized dust particles. Also, gas discharges with large amounts of microparticles are used in microgravity experiments, where strongly coupled subsystems of charged microparticles represent particle-resolved models of liquids and solids. In this field, deep understanding of dust–plasma interactions is required to construct the discharge configurations which would be able to model the desired generic condensed matter physics as well as, in the interpretation of experiments, to distinguish the plasma phenomena from the generic condensed matter physics phenomena. In this review, we address only physical aspects of dust–plasma interactions, that is, we always imply constant chemical composition of the plasma as well as constant size of the dust particles. We also restrict the review to two discharge types: dc discharge and capacitively coupled rf discharge. We describe the experimental methods used in the investigations of dust–plasma interactions and show the approaches to numerical modelling of the gas discharge plasmas with large amounts of dust. Starting from the basic physical principles governing the dust–plasma interactions, we discuss the state-of-the-art understanding of such complicated, discharge-type-specific phenomena as dust-induced stratification and transverse instability in a dc discharge or void formation and heartbeat instability in an rf discharge.     

Gas-phase pulsed power switches

A review of plasma science that is related to gas-phase pulsed power switching is presented. Switch plasmas include uniform glow-type plasmas and constricted arc-type plasmas, and the science involves understanding transport processes in hydrogen, helium, metal vapor, and other plasmas, and electrode processes including limitations related to cathode emission and sheaths. Gas-phase pulsed power switches include spark gaps, vacuum, metal vapor, and low-pressure glow-type switches. The review concludes that the understanding of microscopic processes and plasma electrode interactions is somewhat limited, and that to facilitate the development of efficient, reliable pulsed power devices, there is considerable need for a deeper understanding     

Electrical Conductivities of Nonideal Iron and Nickel Plasmas

Electrical conductivities of iron and nickel plasmas are calculated using a nonideal plasma ionization balance model that takes into account the excess free energy due to strong Coulomb couplings between charged particles in the pressure‐ionization regime. The electrical conductivities calculated for partially ionized plasmas are in fair agreement with data measured in exploding wire discharge experiments and effectively demonstrate the insulator‐metal transition near solid densities.

On the relaxation of anisotropic plasmas

The relaxation of anisotropic plasmas due to collisions between two kinds of particles is discussed on the basis of the Fokker-Planck equation, i.e. collective interactions are not taken into account. An initially elliptic distribution is assumed to remain elliptic during the relaxation process. This is the only approximation made, i.e. the usual restriction to small anisotropy is avoided.     

Siliconization for Wall Conditioning in the HL-2A Tokamak

The sputtering of impurities is caused by the interactions between plasma and the first wall, and the recycling of the gas affects the particle and energy transport of plasmas with a complicated mechanism in plasma operation. It is important for present tokarnaks to achieve a good confinement and high performance plasmas by means of controls of the vacuum condition, usage of low Z materials, control of the recycling of neutral particles and suppressions of the appearances and yield of impurities. For higher plasma parameters, some of the first wall of HL-2A is covered with graphite materials and carbon fiber tiles. Hence the studies on the in-situ coating application and development, and the interactions between the coating film and plasma are needed to effectively control the impurity, improve plasma confinement and achieve high performance plasma.     

Symmetry group of the kinetic equation and stationary distributions in a weakly turbulent plasma

A class of essentially non-equilibrium distributions characterized by the constant flux of one of the “integral of motion” (e.g. energy, number of particles or momentum) both for waves and particles is shown to exist in plasmas due to the symmetry of collision integrals (particle-wave interactions or Boltzmann's integral resp.). As a result, the non-equilibrium distributions can be obtained from a functional equation inferring that the projection of the stoss-integrand on the irreducible group representation should be equal to zero.     

Coagulation of Charged Aerosols

We consider the coagulation of an aerosol embedded in a stationary atmosphere of bipolar ions. Particles respond to the ionic environment by developing an instantaneous charge the fluctuations of which may produce attraction or repulsion between the particles. The governing parameter is the charge asymmetry factor which quantifies the relative charging efficiency of positive and negative ions. We use a Monte Carlo method to solve the coagulation equation in the free-molecule regime. We perform simulations for conditions ranging from symmetric and nearly symmetric environments (e.g. flames, ionizers), which result in particles that are on the average neutral to highly asymmetric conditions (low-pressure plasmas), which produce a substantial non-zero net charge. In symmetric ionic atmospheres we find that electrostatic interactions are unimportant and particles grow as if in the absence of charging ions. In asymmetric bipolar atmospheres, electrostatic interactions between particles are repulsive, the mean particle size grows logarithmically in time and the resulting size distributions are significantly narrower than the classical self preserving distributions.     

Composition and Thermodynamic Properties of Dense Alkali Metal Plasmas

In this work composition and thermodynamic properties of dense alkali metal plasmas (Li, Na) were investigated. Composition was derived by solving the Saha equations with corrections due to nonideality. The lowering of the ionization potentials was calculated on the basis of pseudopotentials by taking screening and quantum effects into account (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
