Bipolar atmospheric-pressure corona discharge in a He/H2 mixture

Results are presented from a study of the characteristics of a steady-state plasma in a He/H₂ mixture at high pressures. The plasma is formed in the outer region of a multielectrode corona discharge. It is shown that molecules of helium hydride form in such a medium, and their decomposition is accompanied by continuum emission in the 350–650 nm region. The corona discharge is distributed over the length and can be used in systems for the transverse electric circulation of the working medium of atmospheric-pressure plasma radiation sources. The reference spectra of the plasma emission and the dependence of the relative intensity of the lines and the brightness of the bands of He ₂ ^* on the value of the discharge current, pressure, and composition of the working mixture are investigated.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes mass-produced by dc arc discharge in He–H2 gas mixture

Uniform cathode deposits (longer than 15 mm), containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) inside, were produced by dc arc discharge evaporation with a computer-controlled feeder of a pure-carbon electrode without a metal catalyst in a He–H₂ gas mixture. The purification of MWNTs was carried out to remove amorphous carbon and carbon nanoparticles. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy observations and Raman scattering studies show that the MWNTs possess a high crystallinity and a mean outermost diameter of ∼ ∼10 nm. It has been confirmed that the current density in the electron field emission from a purified MWNT mat can reach 77.92 mA/cm², indicating that the purified MWNTs are a promising candidate electron source in a super high-luminance light-source tube or a miniature X-ray source.     

Spectroscopic investigation of the plasma of a high-current diffuse discharge in He/Ar/CF2Cl2(CCl4) mixtures

Survey emission spectra in the region of 190–600 nm and time and service-life characteristics of a transverse nanosecond discharge in He/Ar/CF₂Cl₂(CCl₄) mixtures at a pressure of 10–100 kPa are investigated. In the emission spectra, excited products of the decomposition of freons—C₂(A−X), CN(B−X), Cl ₂ ^* , C^*, Cl^*, and Cl^+*— and the emission of ArF at λ=193 nm are revealed. The emissions of Cl ₂ ^* at λ=258 nm and ArF at λ=193 nm were the most intense. The discharge in the He/Ar/CF₂Cl₂ mixture is a multiwave emission source with λ=258 nm Cl ₂ ^* 193 nm ArF, and probably, 175 nm Arcl. It is of interest for applications in UV-VUV-range pulse photometry. The duration of the emission on Cl ₂ ^* , ArF, ArI, ClI, and ClII transitions in the discharge in the Ar/CF₂Cl₂ mixture (P=10–20 kPa) was 200–300 nsec. With adding He and increasing pressure to 100 kPa the duration of the emission decreased by a factor of 1.5–2. The basic mechanisms of the formation of Cl₂, ArF, and CN(B) molecules in the transverse-discharge plasma are considered. Uzhgorod State University, 46, Pidgirna Str., Uzhgorod, 294000, Ukraine.

Emission from a DC glow discharge in a He/H2O mixture

The electrical and optical characteristics of a longitudinal dc glow discharge in a cylindrical discharge tube in mixtures of helium with saturated water vapor at room temperature are investigated. In the UV range, a broad band with a maximum at λ_max=309.6 nm and Δλ=9 nm prevails. The H_α 656.3-nm, H_β 486.1-nm, and HeI lines in the range 440–670 nm are the main diagnostic spectral lines. The helium partial pressure and the glow discharge current are optimized to achieve the maximum intensities of the 309.6-nm band and HeI and HI spectral lines. The results obtained are of interest for the development of an ecologically safe radiation source based on the products of the decomposition of water molecules and clusters in plasma.     

Study of the recast layer of a surface machined by sinking electrical discharge machining using water-in-oil emulsion as dielectric

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) caused a recast layer to form at the machined surface of the workpiece. The characteristics of the recast layer have a great relationship with the type of dielectric. The research work in this paper aims to acquire a profound knowledge of the recast layers of a surface machined by sinking EDM using water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion as dielectric. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrograph (EDS) and micro hardness analysis were performed. The characteristics of the recast layer formed in W/O emulsion were investigated by comparing them with those of the recast layer formed in kerosene and de-ionized water dielectric. It was found that the recast layer formed in W/O emulsion exhibited larger surface roughness, thickness and micro hardness compared with that formed in kerosene and de-ionized water. Both carbide and oxide were detected in the recast layer formed in W/O emulsion whereas only carbide was detected in the recast layer formed in kerosene. Due to the higher supersaturation of gases in the melted material, the recast layer formed in W/O emulsion was found to possess more micro-voids than that formed in kerosene and de-ionized water.     

Volume electrical discharge in Ne/SF6/C6H14 and pure SF6

The electrical and spatial characteristics of a volume electrical discharge are studied as functions of the ratio of partial pressures of the mixture components at varying initial voltage. Early in the discharge, hot (plasma) cathode spots are observed with diffusive plasma flares developing above them. Overlapping of the flares produces a volume plasma column. The column homogeneity depends on the diffusive-flare density, and the length of the volume-discharge stage is determined by the time it takes for one or more flares to transform and give rise to the channel stage. Estimates of the ionization, attachment, and ion recombination rates are used to show that the electron density in plasma channels is two orders of magnitude lower than that of positive and negative ions forming a stagnant stiff skeleton of the plasma.

Analysis of the effect of stray capacitance on a charge/discharge-based electrical capacitance tomography system

The measurement circuit of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) system mainly includes CMOS switches, C/V conversion circuit and Data processing circuit. In order to improve the image reconstruction quality, conversion circuit is very necessary to the small capacitance measurement circuit. A charge/discharge measurement circuit is one of the most suitable for the C/V conversion circuit in ECT. The stray capacitance between the measurement electrodes and earth can be large and have an effect on the capacitance measurement. This paper analyzes this effect, taking into account the ON-resistance of the COMS switch, the unit gain frequency of op-amp, and gain error in the measurement circuit. Finally, it is shown that if the range of stray capacitance is 150 ± 60 pF, overall error would be estimated. Comparing the effects of the circuit parameters, this charge/discharge-based capacitance is effectively stray-immune. It is a more efficient analysis to C/V circuit in ECT and offers a great benefit to information processing.     

TEA CO2 laser induced breakdown versus selective photochemistry in C2F5H and C2F5H/C2F5T mixtures

In the context of laser separation of tritium isotope using C₂F₅T in mixtures with C₂F₅H, we have studied the laser induced dielectric breakdown (LIDB) as a function of the system pressure using 10.6 μm radiation of a TEA CO₂ laser. By taking also into account our isotope selective results, we have found that LIDB does not imply difficulties by affecting the laser selective process. Analysis of the experimental results shows that LIDB works by cascade ionization and the recombination constitutes the major loss process. The LIDB threshold fluence Φ_th for the tritiated mixture was found to be lower than the corresponding value in pure C₂F₅H indicating preionization in the medium due to β emission of tritium.

Crystallization and electrical properties of V2O5 thin films prepared by RF sputtering

V₂O₅ thin films were prepared under various conditions by using reactive RF sputtering technique. The microstructure and electrical properties of the films are have been investigated. X-ray diffraction data revealed the films deposited at low O₂/Ar ratio are amorphous. The orthorhombic structure of film improved after post annealing at 873 K. The microstructure parameters (crystallite/domain size and macrostrain) have been evaluated by using a single order Voigt profile method. Using the two-point probe technique, the dark conductivity as a function of the condition parameters such as film thickness, oxygen content and temperature are discussed. It was also found that, the behaviour of ρd versus d was found to fit properly with the Fuchs-Sondheimer relation with the parameters: ρ_o = 2.14 × 10⁷ Ω cm and ?_o = 112 ± 2 nm. At high temperature, the electrical conductivity is dominated by grain boundaries, the values of activation energy and potential barrier height were 0.90 ± 0.02 eV and 0.92 ± 0.02 V, respectively.     

Spatial characteristics of nanosecond pulsed micro-discharges in atmospheric pressure He/H2O mixture by optical emission spectroscopy

Atmospheric pressure micro-discharges in helium gas with a mixture of 0.5%water vapor between two pin electrodes are generated with nanosecond overvoltage pulses.The temporal and spatial characteristics of the discharges are investigated by means of time-resolved imaging and optical emission spectroscopy with respect to the discharge morphology,gas temperature,electron density,and excited species.The evolution of micro-discharges is captured by intensified CCD camera and electrical properties.The gas temperature is diagnosed by a two-temperature fit to the ro-vibrational OH(A²Σ⁺–X^П(2),0–0)emission band and is found to remain low at 425 K during the discharge pulses.The profile of electron density performed by the Stark broadening of Ha 656.1-nm and He I 667.8-nm lines is uniform across the discharge gap at the initial of discharge and reaches as high as 10²³m^-3.The excited species of He,OH,and H show different spatio-temporal behaviors from each other by the measurement of their emission intensities,which are discussed qualitatively in regard of their plasma kinetics.     

Numerical and theoretical calculation of breakdown voltage in the electrical discharge for rare gases

This work has been devoted to a numerical and analytical calculus of the voltage breakdown in electrical discharge for several rare gases such as argon, krypton, neon, xenon and helium. It was performed using a fluid model 2D, which is based on the numerical solution of the two Boltzmann equations (equation of continuity and momentum), coupled to Poisson's equation to measure the breakdown voltage according to the product of the electrode spacing and the pressure. This study allowed a better comprehension of the physical phenomena occurring in the discharges. We, thus, developed a calculation, based on the empirically Paschen's law, allowing the determination of the breakdown voltage, which describes the transition from insulating gas to the conductive state. Paschen's curves of the different gases are plotted and a comparison between numerical and experimental as well as analytical results is also presented and analyzed.     

Projectile fragment emission in the fragmentation of 56Fe on C,Al and CH2 targets at 471 A MeV

The emission angle and the transverse momentum distributions of projectile fragments produced in the fragmentation of 56Fe on CHs, C and A1 targets at 471 A MeV are measured. It is found that for the same target, the average value and width of the angular distribution decrease with an increase of the projectile fragment charge; for the same projectile fragment, the average value of the distribution increases and the width of the distribution decreases with increasing the target charge number. The transverse momentum distribution of a projectile fragment can be explained by a single Gaussian distribution and the averaged transverse momentum per nucleon decreases with the increase of the charge of projectile fragment. The cumulated squared transverse momentum distribution of a projectile fragment can be explained well by a single Rayleigh distribution. The temperature parameter of the emission source of the projectile fragment, calculated from the cumulated squared transverse momentum distribution, decreases with the increase of the size of the projectile fragment.

Characteristics of an atmospheric‐pressure radio frequency‐driven Ar/H2 plasma discharge with copper wire in tube

This paper investigates a plasma discharge driven by a 13.56 MHz radio frequency (RF) power supply at atmospheric pressure, in which a copper wire is inserted in the discharge tube for the deposition of Cu films. The results show that the jet plasma formation originates from the discharge between the copper wire and induction coil because of its electrostatic field. The axial distribution of the plasma parameters in the RF plasma jet, namely the gas temperature, excitation temperature, and electron number density, is determined by diatomic molecule OH fitting, Boltzmann slope, and H_β Stark broadening, respectively. The discharge current significantly declines when a small amount of hydrogen is added to the argon as the plasma‐forming gas, and the gas temperature of discharge plasma increases considerably.
