Numerical study of physical properties of resistive wall modes in tokamaks

The effect of plasma with toroidal rotation on the resistive wall modes in tokamaks is studied numerically. An eigenvalue method is adopted to calculate the growth rate of the modes for changing plasma resistivity and plasma density distribution, as well as the diffusion time of magnetic field through the resistive wall. It is found that the resistive wall mode can be suppressed by the toroidal rotation of the plasma. Also, the growth rate of the resistive wall mode decreases when the edge plasma density is the same as the core plasma density, but it only changes slightly with the plasma resistivity.     

Effect of the initial plasma parameters on the structure of the current sheets developing in two-dimensional magnetic fields with a null line

The effect of the initial plasma parameters on the structure of the plasma of the current sheets that form in two-dimensional magnetic fields with a null line is studied by holographic interferometry. The evolution of the plasma sheets that develop in an initial low-density plasma, where a gas is mainly ionized by a pulse current passing through the plasma and initiating the formation of a current sheet, has been comprehensively studied for the first time. At the early stage of evolution, the spatial structure of such a plasma sheet differs substantially from the classic current sheets forming in a dense plasma. Nevertheless, extended plasma sheets with similar parameters form eventually irrespective of the initial plasma density.

Effect of Longitudinal Magnetic Field on the Spread of Erosion Laser Plasma in Vacuum and Generation of Plasma Magnetic Fields

Dynamics of erosion laser plasma in vacuum and generation of magnetic field by moving plasma (in particular, in the presence of external static magnetic field oriented along the direction of plasma motion) are experimentally studied. Radial confinement of the spread of plasma, a decrease in the electrification of target upon plasma formation, and an increase in the induction of the plasma magnetic field by a factor of 10–15 are revealed at an induction of the external magnetic field of about 0.35 T. Dependences of the induction of the plasma magnetic field on the power density of the laser radiation are determined for the above regimes.

Expansion dynamics of atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet in ambient air

In this work, the expansion dynamics of a helium plasma jet in ambient air is examined. By using a fast imaging technique, the expansion of plasma jet from glass nozzle to air is captured which is in the form of plasma bullet propagating into the air. To understand the plasma bullet travel path from glass nozzle to plasma jet tip a drag force model is used. Moreover, the spatial variation of plasma density along the plasma jet length is estimated using drift velocity, plasma jet current and the cross-sectional area of the plasma jet. It is observed that the slight increase in plasma density is due to the combined effect of reduction of drift velocity, plasma jet current, and jet cross-sectional area. The obtained plasma density from glass nozzle to jet tip is in the range of (0.069-5.96) × 10¹² cm⁻³. The above parameters can be of the essence in biological and industrial applications.     

Surface properties of platinum thin films as a function of plasma treatment conditions

We examined the surface properties of platinum (Pt) thin films exposed to oxygen and argon plasma treatments and compared them to as-deposited Pt films. The surface wetting properties, refractive index and extinction coefficient of the Pt films were monitored as a function of time after different plasma treatments. Surfaces treated with an oxygen plasma were dramatically different from as-deposited Pt, whereas argon plasma treated surfaces were similar to as-deposited films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the formation of platinum oxide on films treated with an oxygen plasma, while such oxide diminished after argon plasma treatment. Surface morphology studied with atomic force microscopy indicated a strong dependence of the surface roughness of the Pt films on the power and duration of the argon plasma used for the treatment. Based on these studies, an oxygen plasma treatment followed by a brief low-power argon plasma etch was developed for the purpose of regenerating clean and metallic Pt surfaces, and at the same time providing the smoothest possible surface morphology.     

复杂结构自组织等离子体光子晶体光谱研究

利用双水电极介质阻挡放电装置,在气体放电中产生了一种由放电丝自组织形成的复杂结构等离子体光子晶体。该晶体结构由许多四边形的晶胞组成,每个晶胞包括大点、两种不同的小点和线,分别对应粗等离子体柱、两种细等离子体柱和等离子体片。采用发射光谱法,对不同位置处的等离子体状态进行了研究,对比了其电子密度和分子振动温度。具体方法是通过氩原子696.54 nm(2P₂→1S₅)的发射谱线测量谱线展宽进而对比电子密度,通过氮分子第二正带系(C3Π_u→B3Π_g)的发射谱线计算分子振动温度。结果发现：四种不同位置的等离子体具有不同的电子密度和分子振动温度,即它们各自处于不同的等离子体态。电子密度按照降序排列顺序依次为：中心粗等离子体柱四周的细等离子体柱、粗等离子体柱、边缘处的等离子体片、等离子体片交叉点处的细等离子体柱;分子振动温度的变化趋势与电子密度相反。由于等离子体电子密度不同,对光的折射率也不同,因此在该晶体结构中,粗等离子体柱、两种细等离子体柱以及等离子体片具有不同的折射率,它们和周围未放电的区域自组织形成具有五种折射率的复杂结构等离子体光子晶体。该等离子体光子晶体易于产生,具有结构多样、分析简单的优点,具有广泛的应用前景。     

Amplification of longitudinal plasma oscillations upon a decrease in plasma concentration

Amplification of plasma oscillations in a homogeneous plasma by reducing its concentration is considered. The frequency of plasma oscillations decreases upon a decrease in the plasma concentration, and the resonant velocity of the plasma electrons, which is equal to the wave phase velocity, also decreases. Due to this, the number of resonant electrons exponentially increases in the equilibrium plasma. Since the energy of plasma oscillations is mainly determined by the contribution of the resonant electrons, this energy also increases exponentially.     

Phase Velocity of Acoustic Waves in a Non-Equilibrium Plasma

The phase velocity of acoustic waves was calculated for a non-LTE plasma and compared with that of a plasma in Saha-equilibrium. Several special cases of a non-equilibrium plasma were investigated. In the most general case the plasma parameters of a non-LTE plasma also depend on the geometry of the plasma (due to ambipolar diffusion and reabsorption of resonance line radiation). Especially, the case of a cylindric symmetric plasma column was treated here, because the most plasmas occuring in experiments have this geometry. Therefore, the investigation was also performed in detail for the propagation of acoustic waves in the center line of a cylindric plasma column. Numerical results are given for a hydrogen plasma.     

Application of quasi-steady-state plasma streams for simulation of ITER transient heat loads

The paper presents experimental investigation of energy characteristics of the plasma streams generated with quasi—steady—state plasma accelerator QSPA Kh-50 and adjustment of plasma paramenters from the point of view its applicability for simulation of transient plasma heat loads expected for ITER disruptions and type I ELMs. Possibility of generation of high-power magnetized plasma streams with ion impact energy up to 0.6 keV, pulse length 0.25 ms and heat loads varied in wide range from 0.5 to 30 MJ/m² has been demonstrated and some features of plasma interaction with tungsten targets in dependence on plasma heat loads are discussed.     

Estimation of electron concentration in plasma and plasma frequency in the vicinity of a hypersonic aircraft that moves in atmosphere and analysis of propagation frequencies of electromagnetic waves in such plasma

Electron concentration in plasma and plasma frequency are estimated for the plasma that is formed in the vicinity of a hypersonic aircraft that moves in atmosphere. The frequencies of electromagnetic waves that may propagate in plasma emerging in the vicinity of the aircraft are determined. Formulas that make it possible to analytically (rather than graphically) calculate electron concentration in plasma at altitudes of 30, 60, and 90 km are derived for two speeds. Several specific features of variations in the electron concentration in plasma depending on the above altitudes and speeds are presented. Quasi-periodic variations in the plasma concentration can be obtained using an increase and decrease in the speed of aircraft.
