Hollow cathode and hybrid atmospheric plasma sources*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generation and features of the radio frequency (RF) hollow cathode discharge (HCD) are compared for the atmospheric and moderate pressures. The atmospheric-pressure plasma systems, fused hollow cathode (FHC) and hybrid hollow electrode-activated discharge (H-HEAD), are described. Examples of applications where both FHC and H-HEAD have already been employed are given, and potentials for new processes are discussed.

متن کاملP1-25: CW Microwave Radiation Source from Micro-Hollow Cathode Plasma Discharge
A continuous-wave microwave radiation source is under investigation using Micro-Hollow Cathode Discharge (MHCD) technology. Arrays of grooves, 50 microns in diameter and ~3 mm long have been fabricated to contain the plasma discharge. Argon discharge in the resonance cavity has been observed at atmospheric pressure. The turn-on voltage was observed to be 400V (383μA). Lowering the voltage to 31...
متن کاملDiagnostics and modeling of plasma processes in ion sources
Plasma ion sources are constantly growing in importance in the field of atomic mass spectrometry. The idea is to deposit enough energy into the analyte to atomize and ionize a representative part of it and to achieve a plasma state that will endure for some period of time. A fraction of the ions can then be extracted from the plasma and analyzed in the mass spectrometer. The main difference amo...
متن کاملThe Characteristics of Plasma Display with the Cylindrical Hollow Cathode
The newly designed plasma display with the cylindrical hollow cathode has been proposed and investigated to study the relationship between the photoluminous efficiency and the discharge characteristics. The photoluminous efficiency and the discharge characteristics are dependent on the geometry factors of cylindrical hollow cathode and gas pressure in the plasma display. When p (gas pressure) d...
