Plasma instabilities excited by an azimuthal electron beam

The paper describes the effect of the finite temperature T of an azimuthal electron beam on plasma stability. Only instabilities for which the longitudinal macroscopic velocity of the beam is of no importance are discussed. It is shown that at the limit of applicability the weak and strong inhomogeneity approximations give the same results.

Two-conductor strips with drift tubes excited by an electron beam in an ion accelerator

Excitation by a heavy-current electron beam in an ion accelerator is studied for a two-conductor strip with drift tubes whose supports on one bar are displaced at half the distance between the supports of another bar.

Surface energy modification by electron beam

We observe a pronounced variation of wettability properties in solid state materials induced by a low-energy electron beam. The phenomenon occurs in several stages characterized by various mechanisms. We show that for low electron doses the irradiation leads to decrease in the wetting of a dielectric surface due to induced surface electric potential. The higher electron charge leads to formation of a chemical monolayer on material’s surface. It has been found that the electron irradiation strongly modifies the surface free energy of SiO₂ by decreasing its total surface free energy value, almost twice. However, electron-induced variations of dispersive and polar components of the surface free energy are quite different and depend of incident electron charge.

Spectrum of light emitted from ZnCdS: Ag screens excited by an electron beam

The emission spectrum of a ZnCdS: Ag phosphor screen excited by an electron beam was measured for different screen's thickness. This spectrum is found to be shifted towards the longer wavelengths when the screen thickness increases. The matching factor a between screen and some commercial photocathodes, which alter because of this shifting, is given as a function of the screen thickness.

Cherenkov terahertz radiation from Dirac semimetals surface plasmon polaritons excited by an electron beam

We demonstrate a physical mechanism for terahertz(THz) generation from surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs). In a structure with a bulk Dirac semimetals(BDSs) film deposited on a dielectric substrate, the energy of the asymmetric SPP mode can be significantly enhanced to cross the light line of the substrate due to the SPP-coupling between the interfaces of the film. Therefore, the SPPs can be immediately transformed into Cherenkov radiation without removing the wavevector mismatch. Additionally, the symmetric SPP mode can also be dramatically lifted to cross the substrate light line when a buffer layer with low permittivity relative to the substrate is introduced. In this case, dual-frequency THz radiation from the two SPP modes can be generated simultaneously. The radiation intensity is significantly enhanced by over two orders due to the field enhancement of the SPPs. The radiation frequency can be tuned in the THz frequency regime by adjusting the beam energy and the chemical potential of the BDSs. Our results could find potential applications in developing room temperature, tunable, coherent, and intense THz radiation sources to cover the entire THz band.     

Long pulse electron beam excited XeF laser

Long pulse operation of the XeF laser has been achieved with a short gain length and medium intensity electron beam excitation for both Ar/Xe/NF₃ and Ne/Xe/NF₃ mixtures. Use of Ne as diluant strongly lower the threshold for lasing and give an important increase in extracted power. For a total mixture pressure of 2 atm about 6 mJ of 3500 Å radiation was obtained in a 400 ns fwhm pulse limited only by e-beam pulse length.     

60MHz电容耦合等离子体中电子能量分布函数特性研究

甚高频(频率大于30 MHz)耦合放电源由于能产生大面积高密度的等离子体而受到了人们的广泛关注. 采用电流、电压探针以及朗缪尔探针诊断技术对60MHz射频激发产生的容性耦合等离子体的放电特性及电子行为进行了研究. 实验结果表明,等离子体的等效电阻/电容随着射频输入功率的增加而减小/增加;等离子体中电子行为不仅依赖于射频输入功率,还与放电气压密切相关;放电气压的增加导致电子能量概率分布函数(EEPF)从双温Maxwellian分布向Druyvesteyn分布转变,而且转变气压远低于文献所报道的数值,这主要是由于在60MHz容性耦合等离子体中电子反弹共振加热效率大为降低. 关键词： 甚高频容性耦合等离子体 朗缪尔探针诊断 电子加热模式

Nitrogen oxide conversion in nitrogen-oxygen mixtures excited by a microsecond electron beam

The removal of nitrogen oxides from gas mixtures under the action of an ionizing microsecond pulsed electron beam is studied experimentally. Experiments were carried out with gas mixtures simulating flue gases of thermal power plants. The current density and pulse duration of the electron beam, as well as the concentrations of oxygen and the impurity to be removed, are shown to affect the cleaning characteristics. It is found that the nitrogen oxide conversion initiated by a pulsed electron beam cannot be described by models developed for steady-state electron beams.     

Depth distribution of the absorbed energy and dose in various materials irradiated by bremsstrahlung at a maximum energy of up to 1000 MeV

The transmission and absorption of high-energy bremsstrahlung through materials was studied by a photographic method. The dependences of the depth distribution of absorbed dose (DDAD) and of the absorbed energy (DDAE) on the maximum bremsstrahlung energy, the atomic number of the absorber, and the irradiation conditions are reported and discussed. On the basis of the results, a method is proposed for constructing the DDAD and DDAE curves for atomic numbers and maximum bremsstrahlung energies in the ranges studied. A systematic experimental check of this method for constructing the DDAD and DDAE curves for iron shows the method to be highly accurate.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 24–32, January, 1971.
