Abstract

Carbonaceous dust particles have been synthesized from benzene using an rf glow discharge. Scanning electron microscope inspection revealed that the plasma-synthesized dust particles can be classified into two types. Shell-structured dust particles showed a wide size distribution from 3 to40 {mu}m. The other type, with different degrees of aggregation, appeared to be dense and spherical with a very distinctive yellow color and size distribution from 100 nm to 2 {mu}m. Analyses using micro-Raman and Fourier transform infrared microscopy indicated that the main components of the dust particles are polyphenyls and hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC). The luminescence background in Raman spectra and the infrared C-H stretching vibrational features observed around 3.4 {mu}m for the dust particles are attributed to HAC. The formation mechanisms and spectroscopic characterization of carbonaceous dust particles are discussed.

Numerical study of an electrostatic plasma sheath containing two species of charged dust particles

Journal Article Foroutan, G. ; Akhoundi, A. - Journal of Applied Physics

A multi-fluid model is used to study the dynamics of a dusty plasma sheath consists of electrons, ions, and two species of charged dust particles, i.e., nano-size and micron-size particles. It is found that, when the sheath is dominated by the nano-size dust grains, spatially periodic fluctuations are developed in the profiles of the sheath potential, and the number density and velocity of the plasma and dust particles. Due to inertial effects, the fluctuations in the parameters of the micron-size grains are much lower than those of the other parameters. The competition between the electric and ion drag forces playsmore »« less

Secondary electron emission of carbonaceous dust particles

Journal Article Stefanovic, I. ; Institute of Physics, Pregrevica 118, 11080 Belgrade ; Berndt, J. ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics

In this paper we present measurements of the secondary electron emission yield ({gamma}) of a carbonaceous dust particle material, which was grown in argon diluted acetylene plasmas. One aim was to reach a better understanding of charging and discharging processes of dust particles in complex plasmas due to secondary electron emission and consequently to try to explain the anomalous behavior of electron density observed in afterglows of pulsed rf plasmas. We compared the results of a simple model and of a Monte Carlo simulation to the previously measured time dependence of the electron density in complex plasma afterglow. It wasmore »« less

Size dependence of optical properties and internal structure of plasma grown carbonaceous nanoparticles studied by in situ Rayleigh-Mie scattering ellipsometry

Journal Article Hong, Suk-Ho ; Winter, Joerg - Journal of Applied Physics

We have analyzed the growth process of a-C:H nanoparticles in Ar-C{sub 2}H{sub 2} and Ar-CH{sub 4} plasmas by means of in situ Rayleigh-Mie scattering ellipsometry. Complex refractive index (m=n-ki), mean particle radius (r), and particle size distribution ({sigma}) of a-C:H nanoparticles are carefully determined and compared with those of a-C:H thin films deposited at similar conditions. It is found that, in both plasmas, small particles (r<25 nm) have graphitelike properties whereas large particles have polymerlike characteristics. These results indicate that the particles have internal structures of a hard core and soft mantles on it. The size distribution of the nanoparticlesmore »« less

Instabilities of the Void Region in a Dense Cloud of Grown Dust Particles

Journal Article Mikikian, M. ; Cavarroc, M. ; Boufendi, L. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Usually, a three-dimensional dust cloud trapped into a plasma contains a dust-free region called void. This region can enter in an unstable state and its frontiers can oscillate. This succession of contractions and expansions is known as the heartbeat instability. This instability is investigated thanks to electrical and optical measurements that bring to the fore its complex shape. High speed video analysis is performed to correlate these measurements to the void frontier motion.

Rotation effects of elongated dust particles on dust ion-acoustic surface waves in a Lorentzian plasma

Journal Article Lee, Myoung-Jae - Physics of Plasmas

The dispersion relation for a dust ion-acoustic surface wave is obtained for the semi-bounded dusty plasma containing elongated and rotating charged dust particles. The equilibrium plasma velocity distribution function is taken to be Lorentzian. Dust particles are assumed to be cold. The result shows that the frequency of the dust ion-acoustic surface wave propagating at the plasma-vacuum interface can be lowered by the increase of the angular rotation frequency of the elongated dust particles in the range that k{sub x}{lambda}{sub e} > or approx. 1, where k{sub x} and {lambda}{sub e} are the wave number and electron Debye length, respectively.more »« less
