Effect of Excitation and Vibrational Temperature on the Dissociation of Nitrogen Molecules in Ar-N2 Mixture RF Discharge

Non-equilibrium argon-nitrogen mixture plasma generated at 13.56 MHz is characterized by optical emission spectroscopy and Langmuir probe techniques. The excitation and vibrational temperature are studied as a function of argon percentage in the mixture, at 30-Pa filling pressure and input RF powers of 200 and 300 watt, to find out their role in dissociation of N₂ molecules. In this work, the excitation temperature is determined from Ar-I emission line intensities by using the simple Boltzmann plot method and is found to increase with argon mixing in nitrogen plasma. In similar fashion, the vibrational temperature of second positive system has been determined and is found to also have increasing trend with argon addition. The effect of excitation and vibrational temperature on the nitrogen molecular dissociation level is also monitored. It is observed that N/N ₂ ratio increases with increase in excitation and vibrational temperature and falls slightly at the end.     

Study of RF Excited CO2 Waveguide Laser Array

RF excited CO2 waveguide laser arrays with three different structures (one-dimension and two-dimension) are reported in this paper. The output character of far-field and near-field of those lasers have studies and the phase locking between the waveguide elements has discussed. The cavity length of waveguide laser array is 380 mm and the resonator is formed by placing a plane germanium coated gold mirror and a plane ZnSe output coupler. The laser is operated with filling static gas of He∶N2∶CO2∶Xe=3∶1∶1∶0.1 mixture at 1.06×104 Pa total pressure. High output power density is achieved and the output power is 30-w with an efficiency η=10%. The output power is limited by the maximum power of RF transmitter.     

Raman scattering from phonons and electronic excitations in UO2 with different oxygen isotopes

Comparison of the phonons and electronic excitations of UO₂ with different oxygen isotopes (¹⁶O, ¹⁸O), two purely electronic excitations at 4162 and 5778 cm⁻¹ have been evidenced by their limited shift, when ¹⁶O is replaced by ¹⁸O. The bands observed at 570, 1144 and 2300 cm⁻¹ in U¹⁶O₂ shift to 545, 1091 and 2190 cm⁻¹ for U¹⁸O₂. The wavenumbers and the isotope shifts of these bands exhibit multiple relationships. It supports the assignments of the 1LO (~570 cm⁻¹) and 2LO (~1144 cm⁻¹) phonons for U¹⁶O₂. Both bands exhibit marked decrease for increasing O/U ratio. The observed phenomenon is regarded as a good estimation of the stoichiometry of a uranium oxide. In addition, by analyzing the intensity ratios of the 2LO to 1LO phonons for various UO₂ samples, the 2LO band is assigned to the Fröhlich interaction. Defect‐induced and/or deformation potential mechanisms play a dominant role for the 1LO band. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

常压射频冷等离子体是近年来广受关注的一种新兴技术,在薄膜沉积方面已体现出其巨大潜力,但由于等离子体本身反应的复杂性,使其在薄膜沉积方面的机理至今尚未完全清楚。本文旨在从光谱分析的角度,研究常压射频冷等离子体TEOS工艺沉积二氧化硅薄膜。实验中我们检测到了Si和C-H的特征峰,表明二氧化硅是由TEOS在等离子体中分解而形成的。同时还研究了不同输入功率下Si和C-H的特征峰强度的变化情况,并发现其变化规律与生长速率有着很好的相似性。在温度为200℃的条件下所生成的SiO2薄膜的折射率在1.47-1.48的范围内。     

Structural and optical properties of RF magnetron sputtered aluminum nitride films without external substrate heating

We report structural and optical properties of aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering. A ceramic AlN target was used to sputter deposit AlN films without external substrate heating in Ar-N₂ (1:1) ambient. The X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy results revealed that the films were preferentially oriented along c-axis. Cross-sectional imaging revealed columnar growth perpendicular to the substrate. The secondary ion mass spectroscopy analysis confirmed that aluminum and nitrogen distribution was uniform within the thickness of the film. The optical band gap of 5.3 eV was evaluated by UV-vis spectroscopy. Photo-luminescence broad band was observed in the range of 420-600 nm with two maxima, centered at 433 nm and 466 nm wavelengths related to the energy states originated during the film growth. A structural property correlation has been carried out to explore the possible application of such important well oriented nano-structured two-dimensional semiconducting objects.

Effect of RF power and sputtering pressure on the structural and optical properties of TiO2 thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering

TiO₂ thin films were deposited onto quartz substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The samples deposited at various RF powers and sputtering pressures and post annealed at 873 K, were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. XRD spectrum indicates that the films are amorphous-like in nature. But micro-Raman analysis shows the presence of anatase phase in all the samples. At low sputtering pressure, increase in RF power favors the formation of rutile phase. Presence of oxygen defects, which can contribute to PL emission is evident in the XPS studies. Surface morphology is much affected by changes in sputtering pressure which is evident in the SEM images. A decrease in optical band gap from 3.65 to 3.58 eV is observed with increase in RF power whereas increase in sputtering pressure results in an increase in optical band gap from 3.58 to 3.75 eV. The blue shift of absorption edge in all the samples compared to that of solid anatase is attributed to quantum size effect. The very low value of extinction coefficient in the range 0.0544-0.1049 indicates the excellent optical quality of the samples. PL spectra of the films showed emissions in the UV and visible regions.

Millimeter wave measurement and assignment of the rotational spectrum of 2-aminopyridine

Previous work involving the rotational spectrum of 2-aminopyridine was limited to the lower frequencies of 4-40 GHz with very few lines being assigned. This work extends this earlier study. Here we present a much more extensive measurement and assignment of the rotational spectrum of 2-aminopyridine in the frequency range of 75-110 GHz. The observed frequencies have been assigned to the ground (0⁺ state) and the first excited state in the inversion vibration (0⁻ state). Measurements of these two states have been extended up to J=46. With the newly assigned lines, significantly improved rotational constants and all five centrifugal distortion constants have been obtained.     

Parametric study of 2D potential structures induced by RF sheaths coupled with transverse currents in front of ICRH antenna

Hot-spot formation on the corners of the ICRH antenna can be explained by high DC potential structures, which accelerate ion fluxes and generate strong convective fluxes to the antenna surface. This comes from RF sheaths at the end of open magnetic lines, which rectify RF potential resulting from parallel electric fields. As these electric fields are not homogeneous in front of the antenna, transverse potential gradients generate transverse polarization currents which modify the potential structure. These potentials are studied with a simple flux-tube model and then a 2D-fluid model was elaborated to obtain analytical expressions for rectified potential with respect to these transverse currents. We compare them to numerical results coming from a 2D-fluid code executed in a poloidal plane in front of the antenna. Then we build a potential peak criterion to determine the peaking of DC-potential structures for typical parameters in Tore Supra. Finally, current interaction between different magnetic line lengths is approached.Presented at the Workshop Electric Fields Structures and Relaxation in Edge Plasmas, Nice, France, October 26–27, 2004.     

High resolution study of the six lowest doubly excited vibrational states of PH2D

The five lowest doubly excited deformational vibrational bands ν₄ + ν₆, 2ν₆, ν₃ + ν₄, ν₃ + ν₆, and 2ν₃ of PH₂D have been recorded for the first time using a Bruker 120 HR interferometer with a resolution 0.0033 cm⁻¹ and analysed. Some transitions belonging to a very weak band 2ν₄ have been also assigned. From the fit 24 and 86, respectively, diagonal and resonance interaction parameters were obtained which reproduce 1089 upper energy levels obtained from more than 4600 assigned transitions with the rms deviation of 0.00059 cm⁻¹.
