Penning-dominated capacitive discharges
Atmospheric pressure radio-frequency (rf) capacitive micro-discharges are of interest due to emerging applications, especially in the bio-medical field. A previous global model did not consider high-power phenomena such as sheath multiplication, thus limiting its applicability to the lower power range. To overcome this, we use one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of atmospheric He...
متن کاملNarrow gap electronegative capacitive discharges
Narrow gap electronegative (EN) capacitive discharges are widely used in industry and have unique features not found in conventional discharges. In this paper, plasma parameters are determined over a range of decreasing gap length L from values for which an electropositive (EP) edge exists (2-region case) to smaller L-values for which the EN region connects directly to the sheath (1-region case...
متن کاملCollisionless heating in capacitive discharges enhanced by dual-frequency excitation.
We discuss collisionless electron heating in capacitive discharges excited by a combination of two disparate frequencies. By developing an analytical model, we find, contrary to expectation, that the net heating in this case is much larger than the sum of the effects occurring when the two frequencies act separately. This prediction is substantiated by kinetic simulations, which are also in exc...
متن کاملSomatosensory Perceptual Maps of Electrocutaneous Stimulation
Various studies have shown subjects to mislocalize cutaneous stimuli in an idiosyncratic manner. Spatial properties of individual localization behavior can be represented in the form of perceptual maps. Individual differences in these maps may reflect properties of internal body representations, and perceptual maps may therefore be a useful method for studying these representations. For this to...
متن کاملPIC-MCC Simulations of Capacitive RF Discharges for Plasma Etching
A numerical study of parallel-plate rf discharges in Ar has been performed including the transport of ions and electrons in the sheath on the substrate. We employ a two-dimensional particle-in-cell with Monte Carlo collisions (PIC/MCC) method for an asymmetric capacitive discharge with an external electrical circuit containing a blocking capacitor and an rf power supply. The model gives self-co...
