常压介质阻挡放电氧气大气谱带分析

观测了氧气常压介质阻挡放电过程产生的发射光谱,利用氧气大气谱带(b 1Σ＋_g→X 3Σ-_g)转动结构的拟合光谱与实验光谱的比较和氧原子发射谱线测量了等离子体的气体温度和电子温度; 通过分析氧气常见激发态(a 1Δ_g,b 1Σ＋_g和A 3Σ＋_g)的产生和猝灭途径,结合氧气激发、解离过程的动力学数据,探讨了在大气压介质阻挡放电条件下氧气大气谱带的产生原因。结果表明：在该实验条件下氧气常压介质阻挡放电时电子温度(11 800±400) K远高于气体温度(650±20) K,由于a 1Δ_g的辐射跃迁概率太小,且A 3Σ＋_g在高气压下很容易被猝灭,实验中没有观测到这两个激发态的辐射,而测到了具有清晰转动结构的氧气大气谱带。     

大气压介质阻挡辉光放电中放电电流的测量与分析

介质阻挡放电产生的低温等离子体具有广泛的应用前景而成为研究热点。文章利用平行平板介质阻挡放电装置,在流动的氦气中实现了大气压均匀辉光放电,得到了大气压下的均匀等离子体。利用电学方法将放电电流从总电流中分离出来,从而得到了辉光放电的放电电流。通过分析放电电流、外加电压、气隙上电压以及壁电荷电量之间的相互关系,可以研究气体放电过程中壁电荷积累的微观动力学行为。实验结果表明壁电荷主要是在放电电流脉冲持续期间积累的,但电流脉冲结束后,由于气隙电压没有改变极性,壁电荷还会逐渐积累,气隙电压改变极性后,壁电荷量随时间减小。这些结果对壁电荷在介质阻挡辉光放电中作用的深入研究和大气压介质阻挡辉光放电的工业应用具有重要意义。     

光谱学方法研究介质阻挡沿面放电辉光模式的电场分布

利用介质阻挡沿面放电装置,在低气压空气中实现了辉光放电模式。利用光电倍增管对放电发光信号进行检测,发现外加电压每半周期出现一个发光脉冲,并且正负半周期的光脉冲是不对称的。利用Photoshop软件处理放电的照片,研究发现平行于高压电极不同位置的发光强度基本相同,然而距离高压电极越远,发光强度减小。放电中总电场由外加电场和电介质积累的壁电荷电场共同决定,确定该电场具有重要意义。通过分析放电的发射光谱中N+₂(B 2Σ+_u→X 2Σ+_g)谱线391.4 nm和N₂的第二正带系(C 3Π_u→B 3Π_g)谱线337.1 nm的比值,可以定性地说明电场的分布。研究发现电场在高压电极附近较大而远离高压电极处较小。这些研究结果对沿面放电的数值模拟和工业应用具有重要的价值。     

微隙介质阻挡放电装置中的空气均匀放电光谱特性

大气压空气中介质阻挡均匀放电产生的等离子体在工业领域具有广阔的应用前景,为研究其产生条件及机理,利用微间隙介质阻挡放电装置,在大气压空气中实现了均匀放电。电学实验结果表明,低电压时电流波形在电压每半个周期存在若干个脉冲宽度很小的脉冲,肉眼观察到大量的微放电丝,随着外加电压增加,放电功率逐渐增加,放电空间内微放细丝增多。当电压增大到9.2 kV时,电流波形在电压每半个周期只存在一个宽度较大(约5.5 μs)强度较强的脉冲,观察不到微放电丝,微放电最终扩展叠加形成均匀放电。采集了光谱范围为330～420 nm的发射光谱,氮分子第二正带系337.1 nm的谱线强度明显比氮分子离子第一负带系391.4 nm的强。将337.1 nm谱线的强度归一,391.4 nm谱线的强度即反应了电子平均能量的大小,同时拟合计算了反映分子内部能量的氮分子振动温度。结果表明电子平均能量和分子内部能量都随外加电压的增加而降低。表明放电空间电场能量较低时不容易形成丝状放电,均匀放电模式中电子平均能量比微放电丝放电模式中的低。这些结果对于空气中介质阻挡均匀放电在工业应用方面具有一定的指导意义。

Study on the transition from filamentary discharge to diffuse discharge by using a dielectric barrier surface discharge device

Discharge characteristics have been investigated in different gases under different pressures using a dielectric barrier surface discharge device. Electrical measurements and optical emission spectroscopy are used to study the discharge, and the results obtained show that the discharges in atmospheric pressure helium and in low-pressure air are diffuse, while that in high-pressure air is filamentary. With decreasing pressure, the discharge in air can transit from filamentary to diffuse one. The results also indicate that corona discharge around the stripe electrode is important for the diffuse discharge.

Electrical measurements and optical emission spectroscopy are used to study the discharge, and the results obtained show that the discharges in atmospheric pressure helium and in low-pressure air are diffuse, while that in high-pressure air is filamentary. With decreasing pressure, the discharge in air can transit from filamentary to diffuse one. The results also indicate that corona discharge around the stripe electrode is important for the diffuse discharge. The spectral intensity of N＋ （391.4nm） relative to N2 （337.1 nm） is measured during the transition from diffuse to filamentary discharge. It is shown that relative spectral intensity increases during the discharge transition. This phenomenon implies that the averaged electron energy in diffuse discharge is higher than that in the filamentary discharge.

Experimental investigation of microdischarges in adielectric-barrier discharge

We studied the dielectric barrier discharge in helium and air at atmospheric pressure. Time resolved charge-coupled device camera images along with current waveforms show that a dielectric-barrier discharge can be operated in the diffused mode in a gas like helium. However, in air, the discharge consists of numerous microdischarges     

Spatial Uniformity of Atmospheric Pressure Discharges: A Simulation Study

Spatial uniformity is important in most applications of dielectric barrier discharges operating at atmospheric pressure. However, such uniformity is not easily achieved. Under many conditions, a filamentary structure usually develops. In this paper, we employ a two‐dimensional self‐consistent fluid model to explore the influence of several factors on the evolution of spatial structure of dielectric barrier discharges. In particular, we contrast the behavior of discharges in pure helium and He‐N₂ gas mixture, which represent the reduction in breakdown voltage of gas during the evolvement of uniform glow discharge plasma. The transformation from filamentary to uniform mode of discharge plasma is analyzed by the phenomenon of coalescence of filaments and we investigate the effect of several external discharge parameters, such as driving frequency and effect of overvoltage, and the dielectric constant of the barrier material for the uniform and filamentary discharge plasmas. This simulation study is useful to describe the spatio‐temporal profiles of electron density in different phases of the filamentary, uniform Townsend and glow discharge regimes under various constraints.

介质阻挡放电点燃大气压直流均匀放电的光谱研究

由于大气压均匀放电等离子体在工业领域具有广泛的应用前景,为了获得大尺寸的大气压均匀等离子体,采用氩气作为工作气体,在大气压空气环境中利用同轴介质阻挡放电点燃了针-板电极间的大气隙(气隙宽度达到5 cm)直流均匀放电。研究发现,同轴介质阻挡放电能够有效降低针-板电极间的击穿电压。该均匀放电由等离子体柱、等离子体羽、阴极暗区和阴极辉区组成。其中等离子体柱和阴极辉区都是连续放电。而等离子体羽不同位置的放电是不同时的。事实上,等离子体羽放电是由从阴极向着等离子体柱移动的发光光层(即等离子体子弹)叠加而成。利用电学方法测量了放电的伏安特性曲线,发现其与低气压正常辉光放电类似,均具有负斜率。采集了放电的发射光谱,发现存在N₂第二正带系、氩原子和氧原子谱线。通过Boltzmann plot方法对放电等离子体电子激发温度进行了空间分辨测量,发现等离子体柱的电子激发温度比等离子体羽的电子激发温度低。通过分析放电机制,对以上现象进行了定性解释。这些研究结果对大气压均匀放电等离子体源的研制和工业应用具有重要意义。     

Glow Discharge Characteristics of Hollow Needle-Plate Electrode in Atmospheric Pressure ArgonSCIEI北大核心CSCD

Atmosphere pressure uniform plasma has the broad application prospect in the industrial field. Using hollow needle cathode - plate anode device excited by direct-current voltage, a uniform and stable glow discharge is generated at atmospheric pressure in ambient air with argon used as working gas. The influence of the experimental parameters (including gas flow rate and the gas gap width) on discharge has been investigated by optical method. It can be found that a glow-discharge plasma column can bridge the two electrodes. The plasma column is uniform, and no filaments can be discerned. Near the plate electrode, the diameter of the plasma column is largest of all positions. The maximal diameter of the plasma column increases with increasing the discharge current or the gas flow rate. Through electrical method, the voltage-current characteristic has been investigated. It has been found that the discharge voltage decreases with increasing the current which is similar with the characteristic of glow discharge in low pressure. It increases with increasing the gas gap width or the gas flow rate. By analyzing the optical emission spectrum scanning from 330 to 450 nm emitted from the direct-current glow discharge, the molecular vibrational temperature and the intensity ratio of spectral lines I-391.4/I-337.1 have been investigated as functions of the gas flow rate and gas gap width. Results indicate that both the vibrational temperature and the intensity ratio of spectral lines I-391.4/I-337.1 decrease with increasing the gas flow rate or the gas gap width. In addition, the molecular vibrational temperature and the intensity ratio of spectral lines I-391.4/I-337.1 have been investigated in spatial resolution along the direction of gas flow(plasma column axial), and give a qualitative analysis as well. It is found that the vibrational temperature and the average electron energy increase with increasing the distance from the hollow needle cathode. These results are important to the industrial applications of glow discharge.
