High-Pressure Phase Transition in CTAB-Micellar Solutions： A Raman Spectroscopic Study

We use a diamond anvil cell for the first time to investigate the Raman spectra of an aqueous micellar solution of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB） at pressures up to 3.85 GPa. The pressure-induced phase transition between the micellar and coagel phases is found to occur at 0.64 GPa and 60℃. This phase transition has a pressure hysteresis, and thus exhibits the first-order phase transition properties. Further experimental results show that although the structure of the coagel phase is similar to that of the CTAB crystal, the interchain distance is slightly larger in the coagel phase than that in the CTAB crystal.     

A Review of Anode Phenomena in Vacuum Arcs

This paper discusses arc modes at the anode, anode temperature measurments, anode ions, transitions of the arc into various modes (principally the anode-spot mode), and theoretical explanations of anode phenomena. A vacuum arc can exhibit five anode discharge modes: 1) a low-current mode in which the anode is basically passive, acting only as a collector of particles emitted from the cathode; 2) a second low-current mode that can occur if the electrode material is readily sputtered (a flux of sputtered atoms will be emitted by the anode); 3) a footpoint mode, characterized by the appearance of one or more luminous spots on the anode (footpoints are much cooler than the true anode spots present in the last two modes); 4) an anode-spot mode in which one large or several small anode spots are present (such spots are very luminous, have a temperature near the atmospheric boiling point of the anode material, and are a copious source of vapor and ions); and 5) an intense-arc mode where an anode spot is present, but accompanied by severe cathode erosion. The arc voltage is relatively low and quiet in the two low-current modes and the intense-arc mode. It is usually high and noisy in the footpoint mode, and it can be either in the anode-spot mode. Anode erosion is low, indeed negative, in the two low-current modes, and it is low to moderate in the footpoint mode. Severe anode erosion occurs in both the anode-spot and intense-arc modes.     

A Review of Anode Phenomena in Vacuum Arcs

This paper discusses are modes at the anode, experimental results pertinent to anode phenomena, and theoretical explanations of anode phenomena. A vacuum are can exhibit five anode discharge modes: (1) a low current mode in which the anode is basically passive, acting only as a collector of particles emitted from the cathode; (2) a second low current mode that can occur if the electrode material is readily sputtered (a flux of sputtered atoms will be emitted by the anode); (3) a footpoint mode, characterized by the appearance of one or more small luminous spots on the anode (footpoints are generally much cooler than the true anode spots present in the last two modes); (4) an anode spot mode in which one large or several small anode spots are present (such spots are very luminous, have a temperature near the atmospheric boiling point of the anode material, and are a copious source of vapor and ions); and (5) an intense are mode where an anode spot is present, but accompanied by severe cathode erosion. The are voltage is relatively low and quiet in the two low current modes and the intense are mode. It is usually high and noisy in the footpoint mode, and it can be either in the anode spot mode. Anode erosion is low, indeed negative, in the two low current modes, and it is low to moderate in the footpoint mode. Severe anode erosion occurs in both the anode spot and intense are modes. The dominant mechanism controlling the formation of an anode spot appears to depend upon the electrode geometry, the electrode material, and the current waveform of the particular vacuum are being considered. In specific experimental conditions, either magnetic constriction in the gap plasma, or gross anode melting, or local anode evaporation can trigger the transition. However, the most probable explanation of anode spot formation is a combination theory, which considers magnetic constriction in the plasma together with the fluxes of material from the anode and cathode as well as the thermal, electrical, and geometric effects of the anode in analyzing the behavior of the anode and the nearby plasma.     

A Multicomponent Theory of the Cathodic Plasma Jet in Vacuum Arcs

It was demonstrated in many experiments, that the expansion of the dense plasma of a vacuum arc spot goes along with an acceleration of multiply charged ions in the direction of the anode. The resulting plasma jet is analysed in a stationary and quasi-onedimensional model, that accounts for virtually all existing explanations. The corresponding system of multifluid equations includes singular points. The model is evaluated for two versions, that are suited to describe the cathodic jet and for which the singular points can be treated. The agreement with the experimentel results is satisfactory. It turns out, that the acceleration of the ions is mainly due to the electron-ion friction. The results indicate, that the study of the plasma jet is a suitable tool to get a more detailed knowledge of the cathode spot.     

The Electrical Conductivity of Break Arcs: A Diffusion Dominated Phenomenon

The current-conducting channel near the cathode of metal vapour ares is described theoretically by a diffusion model. Time resolved measurements of voltage and current during opening of electric contacts are used to determine channel radius and plasma conductivity. Channel radii of the order of 1–10 μm are deduced, leading to conductivities of the metal vapour plasma of the order of 10⁵ Ω^?1 cm^?1. This is considerably higher than the classical conductivity according to Spitzer.     

An Experimental Study of Circuit-Breaker Arcs in Nozzles under Clogged Conditions

This paper describes an experimental investigation of airblast arcs in nozzles under clogged conditions. From a suitable computer model of the air supply system and by the use of approximately flat current pulses of sufficiently long duration of nearly 18 ms, the clogging current as well as the reversed rate of flow energy from the nozzle to the upstream chamber under overclogged conditions have been determined. Theoretical scaling law for the clogging current [2] has been verified for upstream pressures in the range of 5-13 bar using three-nozzle geometries.

A Unified Explanation of Phenomena in Short Metal-Vapour Arcs in Air

Two types of short metal-vapour arcs between closely spaced noble-metal electrodes are distinguished: the anode and the cold cathode arc. Examination of electrode damage due to low-current (2-10A) field-emission-breakdown arcs and inductive break arcs in atmospheric air has led to the observation of two phenomena apparently contradicting to each other, firstly the existence of Germer's critical electrode distance and secondly, the occurrence of a steady transition from the anode to the cathode type with increasing arc duration. The physical interpretation of this are behaviour communicated in this report is based on the appearance of internal ionization instabilities of the self-sustained plasma-cathode system of the fast moving cold cathode spot for electrode separations near the axial extent of the spot ionization region. The concept includes the question of arc striking mechanism and a model of arc evolution with arc time.     

Solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter Equation in Minkowski Space: A Comparative Study

The Bethe–Salpeter equation for a two-scalar, S-wave bound system, interacting through a massive scalar, is investigated within the ladder approximation. By assuming a Nakanishi integral representation of the Bethe–Salpeter amplitude, one can deduce new integral equations that can be solved and quantitatively studied, overcoming the analytic difficulties of the Minkowski space. Finally, it is shown that the Light-front distributions of the valence state, directly obtained from the Bethe–Salpeter amplitude, open an effective window for studying the two-body dynamics.

Spatial Uniformity of Atmospheric Pressure Discharges: A Simulation Study

Spatial uniformity is important in most applications of dielectric barrier discharges operating at atmospheric pressure. However, such uniformity is not easily achieved. Under many conditions, a filamentary structure usually develops. In this paper, we employ a two‐dimensional self‐consistent fluid model to explore the influence of several factors on the evolution of spatial structure of dielectric barrier discharges. In particular, we contrast the behavior of discharges in pure helium and He‐N₂ gas mixture, which represent the reduction in breakdown voltage of gas during the evolvement of uniform glow discharge plasma. The transformation from filamentary to uniform mode of discharge plasma is analyzed by the phenomenon of coalescence of filaments and we investigate the effect of several external discharge parameters, such as driving frequency and effect of overvoltage, and the dielectric constant of the barrier material for the uniform and filamentary discharge plasmas. This simulation study is useful to describe the spatio‐temporal profiles of electron density in different phases of the filamentary, uniform Townsend and glow discharge regimes under various constraints.

On the Retrograde Motion of Arcs in Magnetic Fields

Experiments are reported which allow the determination of retrograde velocity of individual cathode spots and of the plasma flow in a pulsed discharge using various metals and carbon as cathode materials. For discharge currents from 10 to 40 amps, pressures of 3 mmHg and magnetic field strengths of 6.103G retrograde spot velocities from 30 to approximately 300 m/sec are observed and the corresponding plasma flow velocities are in the range from 4,400 to 8,600 m/sec. On cathode materials with low melting points, the splitting rate of spots and the motion of individual spots is small, whereas under identical conditions the spots on refractory materials are highly mobile, the splitting rate is large, and the lifetime of individual spots is short.
