Weak Ion Acoustic Double Layers in a Warm Plasma

The analytic solutions of the weak ion acoustic double layers in warm unmagnetized and magnetized plasma have been presented with the fluid equation for ions and an arbitrary equation of state for the hot electrons. It has been shown that double layers solutions exist for both magnetized and unmagnetized plasmas when two Boltzmann model for electrons are considered. The potential, the thickness and the velocity of such type of double layers have been calculated and compared with those for the cold plasma.     

Stimulated Scattering from Ion Cyclotron Wave

A study is made of the stimulated backscattering of electromagnetic ordinary waves from obliquely propagating ion cyclotron waves in a magnetized plasma. It is found that the threshold is considerably lower and the growth rate considerably larger than the corresponding values for backscattering from perpendicularly propagating lower and upper hybrid waves.     

A Study of Small Amplitude Ion Acoustic Double Layers in a Multi-Species Unmagnetized Plasma

We report here analytic solutions for weak ion acoustic double layers in an unmagnetized multi-species plasma having two electron components, each described by a Boltzmann distribution, and two ions of different masses, each described by usual fluid equations. The velocity and the width of the double layers for different amplitude has been studied.     

On the Resistive Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Instability

An investigation is made on the conditions for validity of the analytical results for the resistive electromagnetic ion cyclotron instability discussed in a recent paper by Lee and Luhmann. The regions of validity in wavenumber space are determined numerically for various conbinations of plasma density, magnetic field, and electron drift velocity. It is concluded that the analytical results are good approximations over a large region of wavenumber space.     

Fast-Wave Resonances near the Ion Cyclotron Frequency

Wave damping has been observed for the fast (compressional) wave at frequencies that are about 10 percent above the second and third harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency. Preliminary calculations indicate that this shift is the result of collisions. The waves were launched by a 1-turn loop around the cylindrical plasma column and damped in a magnetic beach. The highly ionized hydrogen or deuterium plasma had an average temperature of 2 eV and an average density of about 2.5 × 1020 m-3.     

Formation of Nanostructured Carbon Layers on the Surface of Chlorinated Polymers under High-Power Ion Beam Irradiation

A comparative study of the effect of a high-power ion beam of nanosecond duration on layers of reactive industrial chlorinated polymers (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride) containing a catalytic additive (ferrocene) is carried out. The formation of amorphous carbon nanofiber layers on the surface of chlorinated polymers is revealed. The characteristic diameter and length of nanofibers depends on the type of polymer and irradiation mode and is equal to 30–250 nm and 10 μm, respectively. The growth rate of carbon nanofibers is estimated. Its value might reach ~160 μm/μs. A possible mechanism for carbon nanofiber formation on the surface of chlorinated polymers with the addition of ferrocene under high-power ion beam irradiation is discussed.     

用于聚焦离子束系统的离子源

介绍了现阶段两种用于聚焦离子束系统的离子源——液态金属离子源和气体场发射离子源的基本原理, 并对比了它们的优缺点。由于目前这两种离子源都难以满足纳米加工领域不断提高的技术要求, 因此提出了一种用于聚焦离子束的新型离子源——电子束离子源, 并介绍了电子束离子源的基本原理, 给出了设计参数、 模拟结果（20 kV的Ar+离子束, 发射度约为5.8×10-5·mm·mrad, 束斑约为1 μm）和初步的实验结果。 There are two kinds of ion sources, Liquid Metal Ion Source and Gas Field Ion Source, used to provide ion beams for the Focus Ion Beam system. The working mechanism of the two kinds of sources is presented and their advantages and disadvantages are summarized. With the rapid development in the nano technology, the requirements are hardly met with these two kinds of ion sources. Therefore, a new kind of ion source, electron beam ion source, is developed for the Focus Ion Beam system. The basic principle of the electron beam ion source is introduced and the design parameters, the result of the simulation (20 kV Ar+, extracted emittance is 5.8×10-5π·mm·mrad, raduis of the ion beam about 1 μm.) and the primary experimental results are presented     

Instability of Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Harmonic Waves in Plasmas

The stability of electromagnetic ion cyclotron harmonic waves propagating normal to an external magnetic field is studied for plasmas whose ions possess loss cone type velocity distributions. It is found that, if the ions are stationary, no instability develops except in the extreme case when the ratio of parallel to perpendicular "temperatures" of the ions is of the order mi/me, where mi and me are the ion and electron masses respectively. However, for the case of two counterstreaming ion beams in a neutralizing background of electrons, instability at zero frequency and near the first several ion cyclotron harmonics can occur if the streaming velocity is of the order of the electron thermal speed.     

Double Layers and Circuits in Astrophysics

As the rate of energy release in a double layer with voltage ?V is P ? I?V, a double layer must be treated as a part of a circuit which delivers the current I. As neither double layer nor circuit can be derived from magnetofluid models of a plasma, such models are useless for treating energy transfer by means of double layers. They must be replaced by particle models and circuit theory. A simple circuit is suggested which is applied to the energizing of auroral particles, to solar flares, and to intergalactic double radio sources. Application to the heliospheric current systems leads to the prediction of two double layers on the sun's axis which may give radiations detectable from Earth. Double layers in space should be classified as a new type of celestial object (one example is the double radio sources). It is tentatively suggested that X-ray and ?-ray bursts may be due to exploding double layers (although annihilation is an alternative energy source). A study of how a number of the most used textbooks in astrophysics treat important concepts such as double layers, critical velocity, pinch effects, and circuits is made. It is found that students using these textbooks remain essentially ignorant of even the existence of these concepts, despite the fact that some of them have been well known for half a century (e.g., double layers, Langmuir, 1929; pinch effect, Bennet, 1934).     

Gradient Driven Azimuthal Ion Acoustic Waves

An instability of a magnetized plasma column in the frequency range has been identified as an ion acoustic one. The waves are azimuthally driven by the electron diamagnetic velocity due to the radial gradient of a fast electron tail. The strongest peaks in the frequency spectrum correspond to m = 6 or 8 wave lengths on one turn. This selection can be explained as an optimum value between increasing growth rate and the resonance disturbing phase mismatch at higher mode numbers.

Ion-Acoustic Solitary Waves near Double Layers

The possibility of ion-acoustic solitary-wave solutions in the uniform plasma on the high-potential side of double layer is investigated. Based on a fluid model of the double layer, it is found that both compressive and rarefactive solitary waves are allowed. Curves are presented which show the regions in parameter space in which these solutions exist.     

Multi-ion Double Layers in a Magnetized Plasma

A theoretical investigation is carried out to study the existence,formation and basic properties of ion acoustic(IA) double layers(DLs) in a magnetized bi-ion plasma consisting of warm/cold ions and Boltzmann distributed electrons.Based on the reductive perturbation technique,an extended Korteweg de-Vries(KdV) equation is derived.The propagation of two possible modes(fast and slow),and their evolution are investigated.The effects of obhqueness,magnitude of the magnetic field,ion concentration,polarity of ions,and ion temperature on the IA DL profile are analyzed,and then the ranges of parameters for which the IA DLs exist are investigated in details.     

Evolution of Ring Current Protons Induced by Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves

We investigate the evolution of the phase space density （PSD） of ring current protons induced by electromagnetic ion cyclotron （EMIC） waves at the location L=3.5, calculate the diffusion coefficients in pitch angle and momentum, and solve the standard two-dimensional Fokker-Planck diffusion equation. The pitch angle diffusion coefficient is found to be larger than the momentum diffusion coefficient by a factor of about 103 or above at lower pitch angles. We show that EMIC waves can produce efficient pitch angle scattering of energetic （- 100 keV） protons, yielding a rapid decrement in PSD, typically by a factor of - 10 within a few hours, consistent with observational data. This result further supports previous findings that wave-particle interaction is responsible for the rapid ring current decay.     

Bounce-averaged Pitch-angle Diffusion by Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in Multi-ion Plasmas

We present a study on the gyroresonant interaction particles in multi-ion （H^＋, He^＋, and O^＋） plasmas between electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves and ring current We provide a first evaluation of the bounce-averaged pitch angle diffusion coefficient 〈Dαα〉 for three typical energies of 50, 100 and 150keV at L ≈ 3.5, the heart of the symmetrical ring current. We show that in the H^＋-band and He^＋-band, 〈Dαα〉 can approach - 10^-4 s^-1 for ion H^＋, and - 5 × 10^-5 s^-1 /or ion He^＋; meanwhile, in the O^＋-band, 〈Dαα〉 can reach - 10^-5 s^-1 for ions He^＋ and O^＋. The results above show that the EMIC wave can efficiently produce precipitation loss of energetic （- 100 keV） ions （H^＋, He^＋ and even O^＋）, and such a wave tends to be a serious candidate responsible for the ring current decay.     

Ion Beam Mixing for Silicide Formation

Refractory metal silcides are under intensive investigation to be used as contact and interconnect materials in VLSI circuits. Ion beam mixing has been proposed as a technique for simultaneous doping and metal silicide formution. This work presents a theoretical model for calculating the different parameters required for ion beam mixing through ion implantation. The minimum ion beam energy and dose for complete mixing is calculated. A plot of the obtained energy-dose relation shows that the dose increases linearly with energy. The dose-silicide thickness relation is also plotted. It is found that the thickness of the formed metal silicide increases linearly with the square root of the applied dose. A good agreement is found between the values and relations of the proposed model and experimental results.

强流AVF型騒旋加速器中的空间电荷效应和束晕

详细推导了AVF型験旋加速器中束团粒子在曲线坐标系中的动力学方程(考虑和不考虑空间电荷相互作用力两种情况).在假定动力学方程中各参数值的前提条件下,用Lunge-Kutta方法对考虑空间电荷时的动力学方程进行了数值计算.结果表明,束晕的形成和发展同样也是强流験旋加速器中束流损失的一个主要原因.但束晕形成的机制不同于直线加速器的情况,它不是由共振和混沌引起,而是由于粒子的排斥运动和束团内粒子的涡流运动引起的.
