Electron density and temperature contour plots from alaser-produced plasma using collective ultraviolet Thomson scattering

Temporally integrated ultraviolet collective Thomson scattering measurements were performed with frequency-quadrupled Nd:YAG laser radiation on an underdense long-scalelength aluminum plasma (n_c ~10²¹ cm^-3, Z≈7, T_e≈T_i ⩾50 eV, L⩾100 μm). The plasma was preformed by an Nd:YAG fundamental beam (1.06 μm) with focusable intensities of 10 ¹¹ W/cm². Color images of two-dimensional (2-D) spatially resolved (30 μm) electron density and electron temperature were obtained. These are the shortest wavelength Thomson scattering measurements on a plasma to date     

Ultrabright γ-ray emission from the interaction of an intense laser pulse with a near-critical-density plasma

An efficient scheme for generating ultrabright γ-rays from the interaction of an intense laser pulse with a near-critical-density plasma is studied by using the two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation including quantum electrodynamic effects. We investigate the effects of target shape on γ-ray generation efficiency using three configurations of the solid foils attached behind the near-critical-density plasma: a flat foil without a channel (target 1), a flat foil with a channel (target 2), and a convex foil with a channel (target 3). When an intense laser propagates in a near-critical-density plasma, a large number of electrons are trapped and accelerated to GeV energy, and emit γ-rays via nonlinear betatron oscillation in the first stage. In the second stage, the accelerated electrons collide with the laser pulse reflected from the foil and emit high-energy, high-density γ-rays via nonlinear Compton scattering. The simulation results show that compared with the other two targets, target 3 affords better focusing of the laser field and electrons, which decreases the divergence angle of γ-photons. Consequently, denser and brighter γ-rays are emitted when target 3 is used. Specifically, a dense γ-ray pulse with a peak brightness of 4.6×10²⁶ photons/s/mm²/mrad²/0.1%BW (at 100 MeV) and 1.8×10²³ photons/s/mm²/mrad²/0.1%BW (at 2 GeV) are obtained at a laser intensity of 8.5×10²² W/cm² when the plasma density is equal to the critical plasma density n_c. In addition, for target 3, the effects of plasma channel length, foil curvature radius, laser polarization, and laser intensity on the γ-ray emission are discussed, and optimal values based on a series of simulations are proposed.     

Plasma treatment of the Mg:Ag/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum interface in OLEDs: effects on adhesion and performance

The adhesion of a Mg:Ag cathode to the tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃) in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) can be greatly enhanced by a remote plasma treatment of the Alq₃ layer using either air or N₂ prior to metal deposition. The altered surface properties which lead to increased sticking coefficients of Mg and Ag, as well as enhanced adhesion, are attributed to the introduction of new functional groups into the organic layer, as observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The storage life of the plasma treated devices in air without any capping treatment, as judged by a visible deterioration of the cathode, was increased by approximately five to six times compared to untreated OLEDs. Current–voltage characteristics and EL efficiency, however, were shown to deteriorate for devices incorporating either an air or an N₂ plasma treated Alq₃ layer. For OLEDs subjected to short treatment times with an N₂ plasma, only a very slight increase in the turn-on voltage, of about 0.2 V, was observed. An investigation of black spot formation revealed that an air plasma treatment resulted in a five-fold decrease in the time required for 50% of the device to become non-emissive. N₂ treated devices on the other hand, developed black spots at a comparable rate to the non-treated devices. Thus, a short N₂ plasma treatment of the Alq₃ layer prior to metal deposition improves the adhesion at the interface, thereby reducing the oxidation and degradation of the device through exposure to ambient conditions, particularly in storage.     

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     

On the effect of long-wavelength electron plasma waves onlarge-angle stimulated Raman scattering of short laser pulse in plasmas

Spectral features of a large-angle stimulated Raman scattering (LA SRS) of a short electromagnetic pulse in an underdense plasma, which are caused by the presence in a plasma of a given linear long-wavelength electron plasma wave (LW EPW), are investigated. It is shown that the LW EPW, whose phase velocity coincides with a group velocity of a pulse and a density perturbation normalized to a background electron density δn_LW/n₀ exceeds the ratio of the electron plasma frequency to the laser frequency ω_pe/ω₀ suppresses the well-known Stokes branch of the weakly coupled LA SRS. Under the same condition, the anti-Stokes band appears in the spectrum of the scattered radiation. Variation of a scattering angle and an electron temperature do not significantly modify qualitative features of the effect. In the case of strongly coupled LA SRS, the maximum of the increment is decreased by nearly one-half for δn_LW/n₀~(a₀ω_pe /ω₀)^2/3≫ω_pe /ω₀, where a₀ is an amplitude of an electron quiver velocity in the laser field normalized to a speed of light c, and it decreases further with an increase in plasma density perturbation in LW EPW     

Observation of Raman forward scattering and electron accelerationin the relativistic regime

Raman forward scattering (RFS) is observed in the interaction of a high intensity (>10¹⁸ W/cm²) short pulse (<1 ps) laser with an underdense plasma (n_e~10¹⁹ cm ^-3). Electrons are trapped and accelerated up to 44 MeV by the high-amplitude plasma wave produced by RFS. The laser spectrum is strongly modulated by the interaction, showing sidebands at the plasma frequency. Furthermore, as the quiver velocity of the electrons in the high electric field of the laser beam becomes relativistic, various effects are observed which can be attributed to the variation of electron mass with laser intensity     

Spectral and ion emission features of laser-produced Sn and SnO_2 plasmas

We have made a detailed comparison of the atomic and ionic debris, as well as the emission features of Sn and SnO_2 plasmas under identical experimental conditions. Planar slabs of pure metal Sn and ceramic SnO_2 are irradiated with1.06 μm, 8 ns Nd:YAG laser pulses. Fast photography employing an intensified charge coupled device(ICCD), optical emission spectroscopy(OES), and optical time of flight emission spectroscopy are used as diagnostic tools. Our results show that the Sn plasma provides a higher extreme ultraviolet(EUV) conversion efficiency(CE) than the Sn O2 plasma.However, the kinetic energies of Sn ions are relatively low compared with those of SnO_2. OES studies show that the Sn plasma parameters(electron temperature and density) are lower compared to those of the SnO_2 plasma. Furthermore, we also give the effects of the vacuum degree and the laser pulse energy on the plasma parameters.

Importance of high local cathode spot pressure on the attachment ofthermal arcs on cold cathodes

The importance of having high local cathode spot pressures for the self-sustaining operation of a thermal arc plasma on a cold cathode is theoretically investigated. Applying a cathode sheath model to a Cu cathode, it is shown that cathode spot plasma pressures ranging 7.4-9.2 atm and 34.2-50 atm for electron temperatures of ~1 eV are needed to account for current densities of 10⁹ and 10¹⁰ A·m^-2, respectively. The study of the different contributions from the ions, the emission electrons, and the back-diffusing plasma electrons to the total current and heat transfer to the cathode spot has allowed us to show the following. 1) Due to the high metallic plasma densities, a strong heating of the cathode occurs and an important surface electric field is established at the cathode surface causing strong thermo-field emission of electrons. 2) Due to the presence of a high density of ions in the cathode vicinity, an important fraction of the total current is carried by the ions and the electron emission is enhanced. 3) The total current is only slightly reduced by the presence of back-diffusing plasma electrons in the cathode sheath. For a current density j_tot=10⁹ A·m^-2 , the current to the cathode surface is mainly transported by the ions (76-91% of j_tot while for a current density j_tot = 10¹⁰ A·m^-2, the thermo-field electrons become the main current carriers (61-72% of j_tot). It is shown that the cathode spot plasma parameters are those of a high pressure metallic gas where deviations from the ideal gas law and important lowering of the ionization potentials are observed

采用发射光谱、紫外可见吸收光谱、红外吸收光谱和核磁共振技术分析1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑硫酸氢盐（[Bmim]HSO₄）, 1-丁基吡啶硫酸氢盐（HSO₄）和1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑四氟化硼（[Bmim]BF₄）三种离子液体在大气压介质阻挡放电氩等离子体体系中的稳定性,并分别以上述三种离子液体为辅助液采用大气压介质阻挡放电等离子体技术制备TiO₂,进一步研究三种离子液体在等离子体中的稳定性对所制备的TiO₂晶相结构的影响。结果表明：向大气压介质阻挡放电氩等离子体中分别引入[Bmim]HSO₄,HSO₄和[Bmim]BF₄离子液体后并未改变氩等离子体放电光谱谱峰的位置和数量且没有新的谱峰生成,但谱峰强度都明显降低,说明上述三种离子液体没有在等离子体区蒸发形成激发态物种;[Bmim]HSO₄和HSO₄放电前后的红外吸收光谱基本一致,表明离子液体在放电后的化学键未发生改变;[Bmim]HSO₄和HSO₄的紫外可见吸收光谱显示其吸收峰的位置和强度未发生改变,说明两种离子液体在等离子体作用后的结构是稳定的;[Bmim]BF₄放电前后的红外吸收光谱各个特征峰并无明显差异,但其紫外可见吸收光谱图谱吸收峰的位置却发生较大的偏移,进一步对放电前后的[Bmim]BF₄离子液体进行核磁共振分析,两者的1H NMR峰数相同,但放电后的离子液体化学位移向高位偏移大约0.2单位,说明其化学环境发生了变化,表明有部分[Bmim]BF₄结构发生改变。光谱和核磁共振技术分析表明离子液体[Bmim]BF₄在等离子体作用后结构发生了改变。采用三种离子液体辅助大气压介质阻挡放电等离子体技术制备TiO₂样品的X-射线衍射分析结果表明 [Bmim]HSO₄和HSO₄辅助制备的HSO₄-TiO₂和[Bmim]HSO₄-TiO₂,谱图与锐钛矿相TiO₂标准谱图基本一致,表明所制备的TiO₂为纯锐钛矿型。而[Bmim]BF₄辅助制备的[Bmim]BF₄-TiO₂在2θ=24.1°处的衍射峰向小角度偏移,2θ=48°处的衍射峰向大角度偏移,说明[Bmim]BF₄在辅助制备TiO₂过程中,F进入TiO₂的晶格,破坏了TiO₂原子间的平衡状态,生成了F掺杂TiO₂光催化材料。F掺杂TiO₂光催化材料的形成也间接证明了离子液体[Bmim]BF₄在大气压等离子体中的不稳定性,此结果与核磁共振及紫外可见光的检测结果相一致。同时说明离子液体在等离子体的作用下对于纯锐钛矿晶格的形成和促进高活性掺杂型的光催化材料具有重要作用。为等离子体辅助离子液体制备高性能纳米材料提供重要的实验和理论依据。
