Spectroscopic Study of Plasma Polymerized a-C:H Films Deposited by a Dielectric Barrier Discharge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasma polymerized a-C:H thin films have been deposited on Si (100) and aluminum coated glass substrates by a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operated at medium pressure using C₂Hm/Ar (m = 2, 4, 6) gas mixtures. The deposited films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS), Raman spectroscopy, and ellipsometry. FT-IRRAS revealed the presence of sp³ and sp² C-H stretching and C-H bending vibrations of bonds in the films. The presence of D and G bands was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Thin films obtained from C₂H₄/Ar and C₂H₆/Ar gas mixtures have ID/IG ratios of 0.45 and 0.3, respectively. The refractive indices were 2.8 and 3.1 for C₂H₄/Ar and C₂H₆/Ar films, respectively, at a photon energy of 2 eV.

We have analyzed the growth process of a-C:H nanoparticles in Ar–C2H2 and Ar–CH4 plasmas by means of in situ Rayleigh-Mie scattering ellipsometry. Complex refractive index m=n−ki , mean particle radius r , and particle size distribution 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, ...

In this paper, using a one-dimensional simulation model, the reforming process of sour gas, i.e. CH4, CO2, and H2S, to the various charged particles and syngas in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor is studied. An electric field is applied across the reactor radius, and thus a non-thermal plasma discharge is formed within the reactor. Based on the space...
