超长射流等离子体在介质管内的传播机制

利用交流驱动的单针射流等离子体装置,在介质管内产生了可以沿着介质管任意弯曲的超长射流等离子体,且可以喷射到介质管外的空气当中。利用高速相机对介质管内等离子体的传播过程进行拍照,研究了这种超长等离子体在介质管内的传播机制。研究发现,该装置在大气压下产生的等离子体长度可以达到约85 cm。在外加电压的正、负半周期,介质管内的等离子体具有不同的形貌和传播机制。正半周等离子体是以"等离子子弹"的方式向前传播,而负半周是以连续模式向前传播。分析发现,放电形成的空间电荷与介质管壁上的壁电荷之间形成的电场,是影响介质管内等离子体传播的主要因素。

Measurement of the surface charging of a plasma actuator using surface DBD

In order to quantify the surface charging of a plasma actuator using surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge, we propose a new equivalent circuit for this surface DBD and a new simple method allowing the measurement of the surface charging during the first half cycle and the discharging during the other half cycle. Using this method, we observed the temporal evolution of the total charge on the dielectric surface during an operation of a SDBD starting with positive cycle. We also observed the same phenomenon during an operation starting with a negative cycle. The comparison between these two observations suggests that the high electro-negativity of oxygen plays an important role in these discharges. Finally, we compare the total amount of charge transferred over a cycle under different experimental conditions and we find that the transfer is the lowest in oxygen and the highest in nitrogen.

Peculiarities of Dielectric Barrier Discharges

The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is a highly transient, non‐thermal discharge form, which exists in a broad pressure range. It occurs in arrangements, where a dielectric layer covers at least one electrode. The dielectric quenches the current and distributes the discharge over the whole surface. Depending on the geometrical conditions three basic types of DBD arrangements are distinguished. In arrangements with a gas gap a filamentary or a homogeneous‐diffuse discharge mode appears. The (stable) filamentary mode consists of a multitude of microdischarges, which in some extent can be rather easily tailored for e. g. plasma‐chemical applications. In arrangements with a long electrode (or several in parallel) on a dielectric surface and a plane counter‐electrode on the reverse side of the dielectric, pure surface discharges can be observed. They are characterised by low ignition voltages. The extension of the discharge on the surface depends on the voltage amplitude. If pairs of long electrodes are within the bulk of a dielectric, discharge phenomena appear on the surface of the dielectric. As these devices can be produced with small and precise electrode gaps, high mean field strengths in the discharge region can be realised. The properties of the discharges in these arrangements as well as their dynamics are described in detail and compared with one another. The advantages of each type are highlighted. Some aspects, which may be of interest for plasma‐chemical reactions on surfaces and in the gas space are discussed.     

沿面型介质阻挡放电喷枪的发光特性及气体温度研究

利用氩气作为工作气体,采用正弦电压驱动沿面型等离子体喷枪,在大气压空气环境中产生了均匀的等离子体羽。电学和光学测量结果表明,等离子体羽放电只存在于外加峰值电压的正半周期,并且正半周期的放电脉冲个数随气体流量的增加而增加。通过对正半周期不同位置的发光脉冲信号进行比较,发现等离子体羽均按子弹形式传播,其中每一个发光脉冲均对应一次等离子体子弹传播过程。通过对比放电电流和等离子体羽的发光信号,发现等离子体羽的发光脉冲滞后于放电电流脉冲,且该延迟时间基本服从正态分布。该延迟时间随着外加电压峰值及气体流量的增大而减小。利用光纤测温仪测量了等离子体羽的气体温度,发现气体温度随外加峰值电压的增大而升高,随工作气体流量的增大而降低。通过分析放电过程,对上述现象进行了定性解释。     

Discharge and flow characterizations of the double-side sliding discharge plasma actuator

We investigate the discharge and flow characterizations of a double-side siding discharge plasma actuator driven by different polarities of direct current(DC) voltage. The discharge tests show that sliding discharge and extended discharge are filamentary discharge. The irregular current pulse of sliding discharge fluctuates obviously in the first half cycle,ultimately expands the discharge channel. The instantaneous power and average power consumptions of sliding discharge are larger than those of the extended discharge and dielectric barrier discharge(DBD). The flow characteristics measured by a high-frequency particle-image-velocimetry system together with high-speed schlieren technology show that the opposite jet at the bias DC electrode is induced by sliding discharge, which causes a bulge structure in the discharge channel.The bias DC electrode can deflect the direction of the induced jet, then modifying the properties of the boundary layer.Extended discharge can accelerate the velocity of the starting vortex, improving the horizontal velocity profile by 203%.The momentum growth caused by extended discharge has the largest peak value and the fastest growth rate, compared with sliding discharge and DBD. However, the momentum growth of sliding discharge lasts longer in the whole pulsed cycle,indicating that sliding discharge can also inject more momentum.     

大气压氩气介质阻挡辉光放电的一维仿真研究

为了研究氩气(Ar)中介质阻挡大气压辉光放电(APGD)的放电机理, 通过建立一个一维的多粒子自洽耦合流体模型, 采用有限元方法进行数值计算, 得到了气体间隙压降、介质表面电荷密度、放电电流密度随时间的周期变化波形, 以及电子、离子、亚稳态粒子密度和空间电场强度的时空分布. 仿真计算结果表明：介质表面积聚的电荷对于放电的过程的起始及熄灭具有重要作用;当增大外施电压时, 放电击穿时刻提前, 放电电流密度和介质表面电荷密度峰值增大, 表明放电过程更加剧烈;随着阻挡介质相对介电常数的增大, 放电电流密度也随之增大. 各粒子密度及电场的时空分布表明放电过程在外施电压半个周期中只有一次放电, 且存在明显的阴极位降区、负辉区、等离子体正柱区等辉光放电的典型区域, 为大气压辉光放电(APGD).     

光谱学方法研究介质阻挡沿面放电辉光模式的电场分布

利用介质阻挡沿面放电装置,在低气压空气中实现了辉光放电模式。利用光电倍增管对放电发光信号进行检测,发现外加电压每半周期出现一个发光脉冲,并且正负半周期的光脉冲是不对称的。利用Photoshop软件处理放电的照片,研究发现平行于高压电极不同位置的发光强度基本相同,然而距离高压电极越远,发光强度减小。放电中总电场由外加电场和电介质积累的壁电荷电场共同决定,确定该电场具有重要意义。通过分析放电的发射光谱中N+₂(B 2Σ+_u→X 2Σ+_g)谱线391.4 nm和N₂的第二正带系(C 3Π_u→B 3Π_g)谱线337.1 nm的比值,可以定性地说明电场的分布。研究发现电场在高压电极附近较大而远离高压电极处较小。这些研究结果对沿面放电的数值模拟和工业应用具有重要的价值。     

Noncontact friction and force fluctuations between closely spaced bodies

Noncontact friction between a Au(111) surface and an ultrasensitive gold-coated cantilever was measured as a function of tip-sample spacing, temperature, and bias voltage using observations of cantilever damping and Brownian motion. The importance of the inhomogeneous contact potential is discussed and comparison is made to measurements over dielectric surfaces. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, the force fluctuations are interpreted in terms of near-surface fluctuating electric fields interacting with static surface charge.     

Surface charge measurement in surface dielectric barrier discharge by laser polarimetry

Measurements of surface charge in a surface dielectric barrier discharge driven in atmospheric air were successfully demonstrated by a laser polarimetry. AC voltage at a frequency of 2 kHz generated the discharge between an exposed electrode and the dielectric barrier over a buried electrode. Although the discharge behaviors varied depending on the polarity of the exposed electrode, there were no differences in the tendency and amplitude of the surface charge accumulation except the polarity. With higher applied voltage, the amount of surface charge became larger and the charge was distributed farther from the exposed electrode.     

两种外磁场形式对介质面次级电子倍增的抑制

利用自编1D3V PIC程序,数值研究了不同外加磁场方式对次级电子倍增抑制的物理过程,给出了次级电子数目、平均能量、密度、运动轨迹、渡越时间、介质表面静电场及沉积功率等物理量时空分布关系。模拟结果表明:不同方向外加磁场抑制次级电子倍增的机理有所不同。轴向外加磁场利用电子回旋运动干扰微波电场对电子加速过程,使其碰壁能量降低以达到抑制二次电子倍增的效果;横向外加磁场利用电子回旋漂移过程中,电子半个周期被推离介质表面（不发生次级电子倍增）,半个周期被推回介质表面（降低电子碰撞能量）的作用机理,达到抑制二次电子倍增的效果。讨论了横向磁场在回旋共振下,电子回旋同步加速导致回旋半径增大,电子能量持续增加的特殊过程。两种外加磁场方式都可以通过增加磁场达到进一步抑制次级电子倍增的目的。轴向外加磁场加载容易,但对磁场要求较高;横向外加磁场需要磁场较低,但加载较为困难。     

Discharges and mechanoelectrical phenomena in charged glasses

Conclusions In high-resistance solid dielectrics (with resistances of 10¹² · cm or higher, when they are irradiated with electron beams, spontaneous electric discharges are observed while the irradiation is occurring. The discharges occur at defects in the surface and develop in the layer within which the charged particles are distributed.When the charged particles are distributed in the surface or near-surface layer of the dielectric, the discharge may be initiated close to the charged surface by a grounded metal needle, even some time after the irradiation. After long storage and self-dis charge of the surface layer of the irradiated dielectric or compensation of the surface charge, discharge of the charge stored in the depth of the dielectric can occur by scratching the surface or pricking it with a needle. When the charge lies deep inside the dielectric, a brush discharge occurs when a strong shock is applied to the surface of the dielectric using a grounded needle.In all the above cases initiation of an electric discharge in the solid dielectric occurred by mechanoelectrical phenomena of direct conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy with a high field strength. These phenomena occur in solid dielectrics with a defect structure.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 40–46, February, 1977.     

空间电荷和介质表面电荷对微放电演化过程的影响

微放电是制约航天器微波部件功率容量的主要瓶颈之一。以介质微波部件中典型的介质加载平行板波导为例,基于三维粒子模拟分别对仅考虑外加微波场（情况1）、考虑外加微波场和空间电荷（情况2）以及考虑外加微波场、空间电荷和介质表面电荷（情况3）三种情况下微放电演化过程中电子数目、瞬态二次电子发射系数、归一化反射波电压以及介质表面与上金属板之间的间隙电压随时间的变化进行了仿真,并给出了情况3电子分布和介质表面电荷密度随时间的变化过程。在此基础上,明确了空间电荷和介质表面电荷在微放电过程中所起的不同作用：即空间电荷会使微放电达到饱和状态,介质表面电荷则导致微放电饱和状态无法持续,最后自行熄灭。介质表面电荷导致了微放电过程中介质和金属瞬态二次电子发射系数下降速率不一致,归一化反射波电压幅度随时间变化的包络类似于“眼睛”形状、间隙电压类直流偏置、非对称电子能量分布等特殊现象。

The effect of air plasma on barrier dielectric surface in dielectric barrier discharge

Barrier dielectric is an important part of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (AP-DBD), which partly affects discharge characteristics. Conversely, discharge plasma also has influence on dielectric surface properties. To investigate this influence, some experiments were carried out on a home-built AP-DBD system with glass plate as barrier dielectric. Surface wettability was evaluated by water contact angles on a drop shape analysis system. The morphologies and chemical compositions of the glass sample surfaces were observed by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) attached to FESEM. The results show that water contact angles decrease as discharge energy increases, micro-discharge etching zones are formed into glass surface and different from the control glass in surface micro-structure and chemical compositions.     

A wire-to-wire type nonthermal plasma reactor with ferroelectric pellet barrier

A new wire-to-wire type of discharge plasma reactor with ferroelectric pellet barrier has been proposed and investigated experimentally. It was found that there were intense microdischarge currents taking place on the AC corona-charged surfaces of the ferroelectric pellet barrier. These surfaces were placed on the bottom wire electrode in the reactor. This type of nonthermal plasma reactor was found to generate a corona discharge twice per half cycle of the applied AC high voltage, once from the upper corona wire and again from the surface of the pellet barrier.As a result, the proposed plasma reactor has the potential to greatly increase ozone production and may find use as an effective means for removing pollutant gases.
