One-dimensional time-dependent fluid model of a very high density low-pressure inductively coupled plasma

Journal Article Chaplin, Vernon H. ; Bellan, Paul M. - Journal of Applied Physics

A time-dependent two-fluid model has been developed to understand axial variations in the plasma parameters in a very high density (peak n_e~ > 5x10¹⁹ m^–3) argon inductively coupled discharge in a long 1.1 cm radius tube. The model equations are written in 1D, with radial losses to the tube walls accounted for by the inclusion of effective particle and energy sink terms. The ambipolar diffusion equation and electron energy equation are solved to find the electron density n_e(z,t) and temperature T_e(z,t), and the populations of the neutral argon 4s metastable, 4s resonant, and 4p excited state manifolds are calculated inmore »« less

Reduction of plasma density in the Helicity Injected Torus with Steady Inductance experiment by using a helicon pre-ionization source

Journal Article Hossack, Aaron C. ; Jarboe, Thomas R. ; Victor, Brian S. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A helicon based pre-ionization source has been developed and installed on the Helicity Injected Torus with Steady Inductance (HIT-SI) spheromak. The source initiates plasma breakdown by injecting impurity-free, unmagnetized plasma into the HIT-SI confinement volume. Typical helium spheromaks have electron density reduced from (2–3) × 10{sup 19} m{sup −3} to 1 × 10{sup 19} m{sup −3}. Deuterium spheromak formation is possible with density as low as 2 × 10{sup 18} m{sup −3}. The source also enables HIT-SI to be operated with only one helicity injector at injector frequencies above 14.5 kHz. A theory explaining the physical mechanism driving the reductionmore » of breakdown density is presented.« less

Identification of Accretion as Grain Growth Mechanism in Astrophysically Relevant Water–Ice Dusty Plasma Experiment

Journal Article Marshall, Ryan S. ; Chai, Kil-Byoung ; Bellan, Paul M. - The Astrophysical Journal (Online)

The grain growth process in the Caltech water–ice dusty plasma experiment has been studied using a high-speed camera and a long-distance microscope lens. It is observed that (i) the ice grain number density decreases fourfold as the average grain major axis increases from 20 to 80 μm, (ii) the major axis length has a log-normal distribution rather than a power-law dependence, and (iii) no collisions between ice grains are apparent. The grains have a large negative charge resulting in strong mutual repulsion and this, combined with the fractal character of the ice grains, prevents them from agglomerating.

Transport of ionized metal atoms in high-power pulsed magnetron discharges assisted by inductively coupled plasma

Journal Article Konstantinidis, S ; Dauchot, J P ; Ganciu, M ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Transporting metallic ions from the magnetron cathode to the substrate is essential for an efficient thin-film deposition process. This letter examines how inductively coupled plasma superimposed onto a high-power pulsed magnetron discharge can influence the mobility of titanium ions. To this effect, time-resolved optical emission and absorption spectrometry are conducted and the current at the substrate is measured. With this new hybrid technique, ions are found to reach the substrate in two successive waves. Metal ions, only present in the second wave, are found to accelerate proportionally to the power supplied to the inductively coupled plasma. All the measurements inmore »« less

Measurements of pulsed-power modulated argon plasmas in an inductively coupled plasma source

Journal Article Ashida, S ; Shim, M R ; Lieberman, M A - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology, A

The behavior of pulsed-power (square wave) modulated argon plasmas generated by an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source is experimentally investigated. The apparatus is an ICP source with a flat coil geometry equipped with a cylindrical Langmuir probe on the axis of the cylindrical chamber. The evolution of the plasma density is determined from the wave forms of ion saturation currents. The rise and fall of the density had a time scale of a few tens of microseconds. The time average plasma density is also measured as a function of pulse frequency and duty ratio, holding the average absorbed power constant.more »« less
