ION FLUX BEHAVIOR IN HIGH DENSITY PLASMAS

The available electron cyclotron resonance plasma sources have been simulated in two-dimensional configuration space (Z, R) and three-dimensional velocity space (V_z, V_r, V_θ). Using a hybrid model, we treat ions as particles and electrons as fluid. The simulation is specified for plasma parameters of the available apparatus and is focused on the ion flux distributions. For a set of given operating conditions, the spatial distributions of electron temperature, plasma potential, plasma density, ionization rate and the contours map of distributions of particles in different volume cells in velocity space are obtained; statistics on ions that hit the bottom surface are also reported. The distributions of ion flux vectors on different cross-section planes in the plasma are given, and the phenomena of large radial diffusione of ions across magnetic force lines are also demonstrated. Finally, the influences of microwave power and neutral gas pressure on the distributions of ion flux vectors on ZR-plane, ion flux radial distributions and ion currents to all walls have been studied.

MAGNETIC FIELD GRADIENT EFFECTS ON ION FLUX BEHAVIORS IN ECR PLASMA SOURCES

The available electron cyclotron resonance plasma source has been simulated in two-dimensional configuration space (z, r) and three-dimensional velocity space (V_z, V_r, V_θ). The simulation is focused on the magnetic field gradient effects on ion flux behaviors in electron cyclotron resonance plasma sources. The simulation results show that, when the magnetic field gradients increase, electron temperature, plasma density, ionization rate, and ion flux in Z-direction would decrease, while ion energy and plasma potential would increase.     

Numerical simulation of chemical processes in atmospheric plasmas

A model is built to study chemical processes in atmospheric plasmas at low altitude (high pressure) and at high altitude (low pressure). The plasma lifetime and the temporal evolution of the main charged species are presented.The electron number density does not strictly obey the exponential damping law in a long period. The heavy charged species are dominant at low altitude in comparison with the light species at high altitude. Some species of small amount in natural air play an important role in the processes.     

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF ECR PLASMA SOURCES

The available electron cyclotron resonance plasma source has been simulated in two-dimensional configuration space (z, r) and three-dimensional velocity space (V_z, V_r, V_θ). Using a hybrid model, we treat ions as particles and electrons as fluid. The motion of ions and electrons is determined by external magnetic field and self- consistent electrostatic field. For a given magnetic distribution, the spatial profiles of electron temperature, plasma potential, plasma density and ionization rate have been obtained. The influences of microwave power, neutral gas pressure and magnetic field on plasma parameters have been studied. The comparisons between simulation and experimental results are made and the explanations for some physical phenomena are given.
