Laser-rf creation and diagnostics of seeded atmospheric pressure air and nitrogen plasmas
A laser initiation and radio frequency rf sustainment technique has been developed and improved from our previous work to create and sustain large-volume, high-pressure air and nitrogen plasmas. This technique utilizes a laser-initiated, 15 mTorr partial pressure tetrakis dimethylamino ethylene seed plasma with a 75 Torr background gas pressure to achieve high-pressure air/nitrogen plasma break...
متن کاملPerspectives on atmospheric-pressure plasmas for nanofabrication
Low-pressure, low-temperature plasmas are widely used for materials applications in industries ranging from electronics to medicine. To avoid the high costs associated with vacuum equipment, there has always been a strong motivation to operate plasmas at higher pressures, up to atmospheric. However, high-pressure operation of plasmas often leads to instabilities and gas heating, conditions that...
متن کاملAtmospheric Pressure Plasmas in Resonant Circuits
This paper attempts to give a short overview of atmospheric pressure plasmas generated in very non-uniform radiofrequency electric fields. All these forms of gas discharges have a common characteristic: they are generated based on the possibility to obtain very high voltages in resonant series RLC circuits. The paper presents both the radiofrequency generators designed in this aim and some appl...
متن کاملRadio-Frequency Induction Plasmas at Atmospheric Pressure: Mixtures of Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen with Argon
Numerical calculations are reported which simulate atmospheric-pressure radiofrequency induction plasmas consisting of either pure argon or mixtures of argon with hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen. These calculations are compared to observations of laboratoo, plasmas generated with the same geometrr and run conditions. The major features of the laboratory plasmas are predicted well by the calculati...
متن کاملInvestigation of effect of excitation frequency on electron energy distribution functions in low pressure radio frequency bounded plasmas
Particle in cell (PIC) simulations are employed to investigate the effect of excitation frequency x on electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs) in a low pressure radio frequency (rf) discharge. The discharge is maintained over a length of 0.10 m, bounded by two infinite parallel plates, with the coherent heating field localized at the center of the discharge over a distance of 0.05 m and ...
