Stability of the conditions for excitation of atomic spectra in plasma produced on exposure of copper alloys to laser radiation

We show that the temperature of plasma produced by exposure of copper-zinc alloy specimens to laser radiation changes little (within the limits of random errors) with a change in the conditions of the laser effect and chemical composition of the specimens. With use of electric discharges (a low-voltage spark), systematic changes in the temperature of the plasma are observed when the chemical composition of copper-zinc alloys changes.

Characteristics of single and dual radio-frequency (RF) plasma sheaths

The characteristics of radio-frequency (RF) plasma sheaths have been topics of much scientific study for decades, and have also been of great importance in the manufacture of integrated circuits and fabricating microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), as well as in the study of physical phenomena in dusty plasmas. The sheaths behave special properties under various situations where they can be treated as collisionless or collisional, single-or dual-RF, one-or two-dimensional (1D or 2D) sheaths, etc. This paper reviews our recent progress on the dynamics of RF plasma sheaths using a fluid method that includes the fluid equations and Poission’s equation coupled with an equivalent circuit model and a hybrid method in which the fluid model is combined with the Monte-Carlo (MC) method. The structures of RF sheaths behave differently in various situations and plasma parameters such as the ion density, electron temperature, as well as the external parameters such as the applied frequency, power, gas pressure, magnetic field, are crucial for determining the characteristics of plasma sheaths.     

Study of uniformity of plasmas produced in a wall‐stabilized arc

In this contribution the plasma of an arc discharge in a mixture of helium and argon is studied. The gas mixture is introduced uniformly along the arc column between each of the stabilizing plates. From the measured lateral distribution of radiation (HeI, HI, ArI, ArII, NI, FI line intensity and width measurements), after Abel inversion, the radial temperature distributions were obtained at various positions of the arc column. Beside the expected radial temperature gradients, a distinct temperature gradient along the arc column was found.     

Experimental and theoretical investigations of absorbance spectra for edge-plasma monitoring in fusion reactors

This present paper deals with the spectral characterization of dusty plasmas such as those produced during ITER fusion experiments. Such plasma formed in a small radio frequency plasma reactor with acetylene was characterized using in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectroscopy and laser scattering, and ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The plasma absorbance spectra thus obtained in the visible and infrared wavelengths exhibit special features associated with the dust particle growth which absorbs and scatters IR light. This experimental absorbance behavior is reproduced using a dedicated radiation modeling based on the Mie theory and the Monte Carlo simulation. The bimodal distribution assumed for particle sizes brings the model-determined optical properties closer to the experimental dust absorbance than the normal and uniform distributions. Dust formation mechanism is further discussed comparing the experimental and simulated absorbance.     

A 100-kW three-phase AC plasma furnace for spheroidization of aluminum silicate particles

A 100-kW three-phase ac plasma furnace with sheathed copper electrodes (sheathing gas: air) is presented. It is used for spheroidizing chamotte (refractory-fired clay) particles having a smooth, pore-free surface. A simple, one-dimensional numerical model for the heat transfer to the particles explains the maximum processing rate and the detrimental influence of an inhomogeneous particle size distribution.     

Transport coefficients of quark-gluon plasma

Transport coefficients of quark-gluon plasma are discussed in the framework of relativistic kinetic theory with the relaxation time approximation of Boltzmann transport equation. The expressions for the coefficients of shear and volume viscosities and heat conductivity are derived assuming quark-gluon plasma to be a non-reactive mixture of quarks, anti-quarks and gluons. A lowest order in deviations from local thermal equilibrium and in plasma phase, lowest order in coupling constant are assumed. Entropy production due to irreversible processes is discussed.     

Determination of nanomole quantities of lower aldehydes by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry

A method is described for the determination of 10–100 nmole of methanal and 20–150 nmole of ethanal and propanal. The method is based on the oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding acids by mercuric ion which in turn is reduced to elemental mercury, followed by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry. Calibration plots were constructed between the concentration of each aldehyde and absorbance, while the calibration from the conventional cold vapour procedure was used for total aldehydes determination. The method is selective and can be used for aldehyde determination in the presence of ketones, acetals, alcohols, acids, esters, ethers, organic chlorides and epoxides. This simple method is characterised by 98–102% recoveries and standard deviations of 3%.
