Mode transition in homogenous dielectric barrier discharge in argon at atmospheric pressure

The influence of driving frequency on the discharge regime of a homogenous dielectric barrier discharge in argon at atmospheric pressure is studied through a one-dimensional self-consistent fluid model. The simulation results show that the discharge exhibits five notable discharge modes, namely the Townsend mode, stable glow mode, chaotic mode, asymmetric glow, and multiple period glow mode in a broad frequency range. The transition mechanisms of these modes should be attributed to the competition between the applied voltage and the memory voltage induced by the surface charges.     

The influence of dielectric surface charge distribution upon thepartial discharge behavior in short air gaps

A two-dimensional breakdown model based upon the continuity equations for electrons and ions and the Poisson equation is employed to examine the influence of surface charges upon the partial discharge behavior of a short metallic-dielectric plane-parallel electrode gap of 0.05 cm in an air-like mixture at atmospheric pressure. The form of charge distribution at the dielectric electrode surface is found to significantly affect a number of important discharge parameters, such as the uniformity of the electric field, the charge density and its radial distribution within the gap, as well as the discharge propagation time

Improved piezoelectric properties of cellular polypropylene ferroelectrets by chemical modification

To improve the thermal stability of piezoelectricity of polypropylene (PP) ferroelectrets, chemical modification of the cellular PP film was performed via chromic acid oxidation and then hydrofluoric acid treatment. Deep chemical modification is achieved as indicated by the energy-dispersive X-ray analyses on the cross-section of the modified cellular PP film. The results of the isothermal decay for piezoelectric d ₃₃-coefficient at 70°C indicate the improved thermal stability of piezoelectricity and the enhanced piezoelectric activity of the modified PP ferroelectrets. The former is attributed to the improvement of thermal stability of the charges trapped in the internal void surface layers as indicated by the thermally stimulated discharge measurements, while the latter results not only from the improved thermal stability of the charges but also from the reduction in Young’s modulus of the PP ferroelectrets due to the chemical modification as revealed by the dielectric resonance analyses.

Neutralization of charged dielectric materials using a dielectric barrier discharge

Safety and efficiency are two characteristics that must be satisfied by an electric charge neutralizer. The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), which has the advantage of preventing arc transition, is an interesting tool to safely neutralize unwanted charge. This paper is aimed at studying the efficiency of neutralizing charged polyethylene (PE) granules by using a dielectric barrier discharge. During this study, several factors were considered such as the amplitude and the frequency of the AC voltage, the polarity and the charging mode of the samples, as well as the electrode configuration. Two DBD electrode configurations were considered: simple DBD and a DBD with installed metallic grid. The obtained results show that using the DBD can lead to excellent neutralization results when the grid is installed. With the appropriate voltage amplitude and frequency and with grid installed, the elimination of nearly 99% of the initial surface charges can be achieved. The metallic grid placed between the DBD electrode and the target enhances significantly the neutralization efficiency.

An investigation into the effects of oxygen plasma discharge on tin-doped indium oxide thin films

The surfaces of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) thin films for polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) were modified by oxygen plasma discharge. The properties of the ITO surfaces were evaluated by means of the measurements of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle, surface free energy and polarity. The influence of surface properties of the ITO thin films on the performance of polymer LECs was investigated in terms of the turn-on voltage, injection current and luminance. When oxygen plasma discharge was employed to modify the ITO surfaces, the surface properties of ITO are optimized due to the improvement of surface stoichiometry and the enhancement of wettability. And the improved surface properties benefited from the oxygen plasma discharge is observed to decay with the time after the plasma discharge. The difference in chemical composition, surface free energy and polarity between the non-treated and treated ITO surfaces appears to become smaller with the increase of the time after plasma discharge. In addition, the electrical and optical performance of the devices is found to become worse with the increasing time after plasma discharge on ITO substrates. The results demonstrate that the device performance strongly depends on the ITO surface properties and the ITO/organic interface characteristics.

Analysis on surface charging of insulator prior to flashover in vacuum

Prior to the flashover across an insulator in vacuum, the insulator surface is usually charged. It is of great importance to investigate the charging phenomena for better understanding the flashover characteristics. It is considered that there are two kinds of mechanisms closely related to the surface charging of insulator i.e., the secondary electron emission occurred over an insulator, and while employing a perfect electrode contact ahead of electron emission into vacuum, the charge injection and accumulation occurred inside the surface layer of an insulator. Based on the rigorous analysis of the kinetic processes of both primary and secondary electrons, the related surface charges were theoretically deduced. Involving the detrapping of charges trapped and the recombination of charges injected, the charging process due to charge injection and accumulation was analyzed. Some formulas were given to express the density of surface charges.
