激光诱导金属等离子体中的自吸效应研究

为了减小激光诱导等离子体中光谱线自吸收对分析结果的影响,提高发射光谱的谱线质量,实验利用组合式多功能光栅光谱仪和CCD探测器等组成的光谱分析系统记录光谱信息,采用平面反射镜装置对激光等离子体进行约束,比较了不同实验条件下光谱线的线型演化过程,并且通过测量等离子体的温度、电子密度以及样品蒸发量给出了合理解释。实验结果表明,当采用合适的平面反射镜装置约束激光等离子体时,等离子体的轴向温度有所升高,径向温度分布趋于均匀;等离子体的电子密度有较大幅度的提高;然而,样品蒸发量却有比较明显的减小。这几个方面的原因能够有效地降低光谱线的自吸收程度。由此可见,利用平面反射镜装置优化实验条件以后,可以有效减小激光诱导等离子体发射光谱的自吸收效应,在常量元素的定量分析中,允许选择灵敏谱线作为分析线,这为提高激光诱导击穿光谱技术的精确测量奠定了基础。     

A Small Microwave Plasma Source for Long Column Production without Magnetic Field

A new HF device is described. It allows the production, without the use of a magnetic field, of long plasma columns from a small HF coupling structure situated at one end of the column. Its operation is based on the propagation of a cold plasma surface wave. This device can work (in argon for example) at pressures from 2 mTorr to 20 Torr with electron densities from 1010 cm-3 to 1013 cm-3, depending on plasma diameter and HF power. Typically, 80W of 500 MHz HF will produce a 25 mn diameter column of 1.8 m length. The plasma is quiescent (low electron density fluctuations), efficient (~ 100% absorbed power), and perfectly reproducible. It can be used as a substitute for a positive column, and some practical applications are foreseen in ion production, laser excitation, gas preionization and spectroscopic sources.

To study the local behavior of the edge plasma density in the DIII-D tokamak, we image the collisionally induced fluorescence from an injected neutral lithium beam using a gated intensified charge-coupled device (CCD) camera coupled to a UNIX workstation. The goal of these experiments is to search for spatially coherent structures in the plasma edge density which may be transiently illuminated by the beam. In our imaging studies to date we have been able to follow the evolution of the edge density as the main plasma discharge progresses through various confinement states under intense neutral beam injection (NBI) heating

Direct energy conversion of plasma energy

An application of ambipolar potential in a magnetized plasma is proposed for direct energy conversion. Analyses of a model device for 20-MW-per-unit-length (without considering end loss) and 14-MW-per-unit-length (with the end loss) are shown.

Excitation of chorus-like waves by temperature anisotropy in dipole research experiment (DREX): A numerical study

Due to their significant roles in the radiation belts dynamics, chorus waves are widely investigated in observations,experiments, and simulations. In this paper, numerical studies for the generation of chorus-like waves in a launching device,dipole research experiment(DREX), are carried out by a hybrid code. The DREX plasma is generated by electron cyclotron resonance(ECR), which leads to an intrinsic temperature anisotropy of energetic electrons. Thus the whistler instability can be excited in the device. We then investigate the effects of three parameters, i.e., the cold plasma density nc, the hot plasma density nh, and the parallel thermal velocity of energetic electrons, on the generation of chorus-like waves under the DREX design parameters. It is obtained that a larger temperature anisotropy is needed to excite chorus-like waves with a high nc with other parameters fixed. Then we fix the plasma density and parallel thermal velocity, while varying the hot plasma density. It is found that with the increase of nh, the spectrum of the generated waves changes from no chorus elements, to that with several chorus elements, and then further to broad-band hiss-like waves. Besides, different structures of choruslike waves, such as rising-tone and/or falling-tone structures, can be generated at different parallel thermal velocities in the DREX parameter range.     

Argon ion beam interaction on polyethylene terephthalate surface by a 4 kJ plasma focus device

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has a wide variety of applications ranging from making regular bottles to biosensors. However, for many of these applications, surface treatment is needed to improve its surface characteristics such as adhesion to other materials. In this study, we focussed on treating PET foils by dense Ar pulsed plasma produced by a 4.5 kJ Mather-type plasma focus device (20 kV, 40 µf, 115 nH) to examine its ability to make the PET surface hydrophilic. The most common method to examine this characteristic is measuring the water contact angle on a polymer surface. The results show that while the energy and density of plasma in our device are higher compared to other devices, as the exposure time is very low, the device can enhance the wettability of PET film surfaces.

Photo-ionized lithium source for plasma accelerator applications

A photo-ionized lithium source is developed for plasma acceleration applications. A homogeneous column of lithium neutral vapor with a density of 2×10^15-3 is confined by helium gas in a heat-pipe oven. A UV laser pulse ionizes the vapor. In this device, the length of the neutral vapor and plasma column is 25 cm. The plasma density was measured by laser interferometry in the visible on the lithium neutrals and by CO₂ laser interferometry on the plasma electrons. The maximum measured plasma density was 2.9×10 ¹⁴ cm^-3, limited by the available UV fluence (≈83 mJ/cm²), corresponding to a 15% ionization fraction. After ionization, the plasma density decreases by a factor of two in about 12 μs. These results show that such a plasma source is scaleable to lengths of the order of 1 m and should satisfy all the requirements for demonstrating the acceleration of electrons by 1 GeV in a 1-GeV/m amplitude plasma wake

Switching behavior induced by different substituents of group in single molecular device

We investigate the electronic transport properties of photochromic azobenzene-based molecular devices with Au electrodes using non-equilibrium Green’s function and density functional theory. A reversible switching behavior between cis and trans isomerization is found in the device. In addition, the substituent of ?NH₂ on the right end hydrogen atom of azobenzene molecule reduces the switching ratio of current, consequently the disappearance of switching behavior, while the substituent of ?NO₂ improves the switching ratio of current. We discuss the different electronic transport induced by different substituents through the transmission spectra, localized density of states, molecular projected self-consistent Hamiltonian and transmission pathways. The observed polarization effect under bias is explained by the evolution of molecular projected self-consistent Hamiltonian of LUMO level. The results indicate that the electron-withdrawing group ?NO₂ substituting right terminal hydrogen of azobenzene molecule becomes a candidate for improving the performance of molecular device.     

Experimental study of CF4 conical theta pinch plasmaexpanding into vacuum

Langmuir probe, photodiode, and optical multichannel analyzer (OMA) measurements have been made on a pulsed CF₄ conical theta-pinch plasma. A cloud of CF₄ was puffed into a conical theta-pinch coil, converted to plasma, and propelled into the vacuum region ahead of the expanding gas cloud. At a position 67 cm away from the conical theta-pinch coil, the plasma arrived in separate packets that were about 20 μs in duration. The average drift velocity of these packets corresponded to an energy of about 3 eV. The OMA measurements showed that the second packet contained neutral atomic fluorine as well as charged particles. The electron temperature and ion density in the second packet were 2.0 eV and 1.5×10¹³ cm^-3, respectively. The electron temperature and ion density in the wake plasma were 8.3 eV and 4×10¹¹ cm^-3 , respectively. This device can be used for plasma processing or as a laboratory test of numerical and analytical models of the expansion of plasma into vacuum     

Linear Theory of Free Electron Laser with a Plasma-Loaded Cylindrical Waveguide

The dispersion characteristics of plasma–loaded free-electron laser has been analyzed using linear fluid model. The device under consideration consists of the cylindrical metallic waveguide, completely filled with background plasma and a relativistic electron beam which passes through a helical wiggler magnetic field. The result predicts that reasonable plasma density tends to improve the growth rate of the low-frequency optical wave of FEL and causes an shiftup in the operating frequency, However it has little effect on the growth rate of the high-frequency wave. In the plasma–loaded FEL, for the FEL oscillator, it may be tuned by varying the plasma density; and for the FEL amplifier, the wider frequency bandwidth is gained. A critical density n ^c _p for the background plasma density is found.     

High-order harmonic generation by nonlinear reflection of an intense high-contrast laser pulse on a plasma

We demonstrate the use of a plasma mirror to obtain 60-fs 10-TW laser pulses with a temporal contrast of 10(8) on a nanosecond time scale and 10(6) on a picosecond time scale, and we use these high-contrast pulses to generate high harmonics by nonlinear reflection on a plasma with a steep electronic density gradient. Well-collimated harmonics up to 20th order are observed for a laser intensity of approximately equal to 3 x 10(17) W/cm2, whereas no harmonics are obtained without the plasma mirror.     

Wave packet molecular dynamics–density functional theory method for non‐ideal plasma and warm dense matter simulations

A new wave packet molecular dynamics–density functional theory (WPMD‐DFT) method is proposed for atomistic simulations of non‐ideal plasma and warm dense matter. The method is based on the WPMD approach, where the electronic exchange and correlation effects are treated using an additional energy term taken from DFT. This term is calculated by integration over the mesh values of the wave packet density. The local density approximation is implemented so far. WPMD‐DFT is meant as a replacement for the anti‐symmetrized WPMD (AWPMD) method which is more time consuming and lacks electron correlation. In this paper, we compare the results obtained by WPMD‐DFT, WPMD, AWPMD, classical molecular dynamics, and path integral Monte Carlo methods for the internal energy of the hydrogen plasma in the temperature range 10–50 kK and electron number density from 10²⁰ to 10²⁴ cm^?3. We also demonstrate the ability to handle the simultaneous dynamics of electrons and ions by calculating the electron–ion temperature relaxation. The scalability of the WPMD‐DFT method with the number of electrons is shown for implementations in central processing unit and graphical processing unit.
