Effect of parallel resonance on the electron energy distribution function in a 60 MHz capacitively coupled plasma

In general,as the radio frequency(RF)power increases in a capacitively coupled plasma(CCP),the power transfer efficiency decreases because the resistance of the CCP decreases.In this work,a parallel resonance circuit is applied to improve the power transfer efficiency at high RF power,and the effect of the parallel resonance on the electron energy distribution function(EEDF)is investigated in a 60 MHz CCP.The CCP consists of a power feed line,the electrodes,and plasma.The reactance of the CCP is positive at 60 MHz and acts like an inductive load.A vacuum variable capacitor(VVC)is connected in parallel with the inductive load,and then the parallel resonance between the VVC and the inductive load can be achieved.As the capacitance of the VVC approaches the parallel resonance condition,the equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit is considerably larger than that without the VVC,and the current flowing through the matching network is greatly reduced.Therefore,the power transfer efficiency of the discharge is improved from 76%,70%,and 68%to 81%,77%,and 76%at RF powers of 100 W,150 W,and 200 W,respectively.At parallel resonance conditions,the electron heating in bulk plasma is enhanced,which cannot be achieved without the VVC even at the higher RF powers.This enhancement of electron heating results in the evolution of the shape of the EEDF from a biMaxwellian distribution to a distribution with the smaller temperature difference between high-energy electrons and low-energy electrons.Due to the parallel resonance effect,the electron density increases by approximately 4%,18%,and 21%at RF powers of 100 W,150 W,and 200 W,respectively.

Simulation of the spatio-temporal evolution of the electron energy distribution function in a pulsed hollow-cathode discharge

This article presents the 2D simulation results of a nanosecond pulsed hollow cathode discharge obtained through a combination of fluid and kinetic models.The spatio-temporal evolution of the electron energy distribution function(EEDF)of the plasma column and electrical characteristics of the nanosecond pulsed hollow cathode discharge at a gas pressure of 5 Torr are studied.The results show that the discharge development starts with the formation of an ionization front at the anode surface.The ionization front splits into two parts in the cathode cavity while propagating along its lateral surfaces.The ionization front formation leads to an increase in the fast isotropic EEDF component at its front,as well as in the anisotropic EEDF component.The accelerated electrons enter the cathode cavity,which significantly contributes to the formation of the highenergy EEDF component and EEDF anisotropy.

MECHANISM OF CHANGE IN THE CATION INDUCED EXCITA TION ENERGY DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN PSⅡ AND PSⅠ IN THE CHLOROPLAST MEMBRANE FROM ZOSTERA MARINA *

The interrelations between thylakoid polypeptide components and Mg 2+ induced Chl a fluorescence and thylakoid surface charge changes were investigated in Zostera marina chloroplasts treated with Ca 2+ and trypsin. It was observed that:1. The increase of Mg 2+ induced PSⅡ fluorescence intensity was closely related to the decrease of Mg 2+ induced surface charge density of the thylakoid membrane in the normal chloroplast; 2. Removal of the 32~34 kD polypeptides of the thylakoid surface by Ca 2+ extraction of the chloroplast did not affect the Mg 2+ induced phenomena; 3. If the Ca 2+ treated chloroplast was further digested by trypsin to remove the 26 kD polypeptide of the membrane surface, the Mg 2+ induced phenomena disappeared completely. These results clearly indicated that the 26 kD polypeptide of thylakoid surface is the specific acting site of the cation that induced these two correlated phenomena in the chloroplast from Zostera marina. The mechanism on the regulating effect of the cation on excitation energy distribution between PSⅡ and PSⅠ was discussed.

Effect of Surface Potential Barrier on the Electron Energy Distribution of NEA Photocathodes

By calculating the energy distribution of electrons reaching the photocathode surface and solving the Schrodinger equation that describes the behavior of an electron tunneling through the surface potential barrier,we obtain an equation to calculate the emitted electron energy distribution of transmission-mode NEA GaAs photocathodes. Accord- ing to the equation,we study the effect of cathode surface potential barrier on the electron energy distribution and find a significant effect of the barrier-Ⅰ thickness or end height,especially the thickness,on the quantum efficiency of the cath- ode. Barrier Ⅱ has an effect on the electron energy spread, and an increase in the vacuum level will lead to a narrower electron energy spread while sacrificing a certain amount of cathode quantum efficiency. The equation is also used to fit the measured electron energy distribution curve of the transmission-mode cathode and the parameters of the surface barri- er are obtained from the fitting. The theoretical curve is in good agreement with the experimental curve.

Influence of explosion parameters on wavelet packet frequency band energy distribution of blast vibration

Blast vibration analysis is one of the important foundations for studying the control technology of blast vibration damage. According to blast vibration live data that have been collected and the characteristics of short-time non-stationary random signals, the wavelet packet energy spectrum analysis for blast vibration signal has made by wavelet packet analysis technology and the signals were measured under different explosion parameters （the maximal section dose, the distance of blast source to measuring point and the section number of millisecond detonator）. The results show that more than 95% frequency band energy of the signals sl-s8 concentrates at 0-200 Hz and the main vibration frequency bands of the signals sl-s8 are 70.313-125, 46.875-93.75, 15.625-93.75, 0-62.5, 42.969-125, 15.625-82.031, 7.813-62.5 and 0-62.5 Hz. Energy distributions for different frequency bands of blast vibration signal are obtained and the characteristics of energy distributions for blast vibration signal measured under different explosion parameters are analyzed. From blast vibration signal energy, the decreasing law of blast seismic waves measured under different explosion parameters was studied and the wavelet packet analysis is an effective means for studying seismic effect induced by blast.

Quasi-Local Energy Distribution and Thermodynamics of Reissner-Nordstrom Black Hole Surrounded by Quintessence

We investigate quasi-local energy distribution and thermodynamics of the Reissner-Nordstr6m black hole space-time surrounded by quintessence. We use the quasi-local energy distribution from Einstein energy-momentum complex. We plot the variation of the energies, temperature and heat capacity with the state parameter related to the quintessence ωq. We show that due to the presence of quintessence, the total energy of the outer region as well as the temperature and heat capacity decreases with the increase of the density of quintessence, while the total energy of the black hole region increases.

Energy distribution extraction of negative charges responsible for positive bias temperature instability

A new method is proposed to extract the energy distribution of negative charges, which results from electron trapping by traps in the gate stack of n MOSFET during positive bias temperature instability（PBTI） stress based on the recovery measurement. In our case, the extracted energy distribution of negative charges shows an obvious dependence on energy,and the energy level of the largest energy density of negative charges is 0.01 eV above the conduction band of silicon. The charge energy distribution below that energy level shows strong dependence on the stress voltage.

Regional characteristics of arc energy distribution

The lamellar structure of tungsten inert gas （T1G） arc is distinct in that it reflects its inhomogeneous energy distribution. In terms of an arc＇ s physical properties, the lamellar structure may be divided into three regions ： the ionization region, the recombination region and gas fringes. A large gradient of electron density exists between regions ; this causes differences in the physical properties of an arc. In this study, the scale of ionizing regions in TIG arc is accurately determined with experimental conditions by a spectroscopic diagnostic method, which is also used to investigate the distribution of the electron density of the arc. More precise dimensions of arc energy distribution are described; the paper also discusses the difference with or without the influence of metal vapor from the weld pool.

Research Progress on the Problem of Fluid,Heat and Energy Distribution near the Earthquake Source Area

As the basic problems in seismology, fluid, heat and energy distribution near earthquake sources during earthquake generation have been the leading subjects of concern to seismologists. Currently, more and more research shows fluid around earthquake source areas, which plays an important role in the process of earthquake preparation and generation. However, there is considerable controversy over the source of fluid in the deep crust. As for the problem of heat around earthquake source areas, different models have been proposed to explain the stress heat flow paradox. Among them, the dynamic weakening model has been thought to be the key to solving the heat flow paradox issue. After large earthquakes, energy distribution is directly related to friction heat. It is of timely and important practical significance to immediately implement deep drilling in-site surveying to gain understanding of fluid, friction heat and energy distribution during earthquake generation. The latest international progress in fluid, heat and energy distribution research has been reviewed in this paper which will bring important inspiration for the understanding of earthquake preparation and occurrence.

Phase shift effects of radio-frequency bias on ion energy distribution in continuous wave and pulse modulated inductively coupled plasmas

A retarding field energy analyzer（RFEA） is used to measure the time-averaged ion energy distributions（IEDs） on the substrate in both continuous wave（CW） and synchronous pulse modulated radio-frequency（RF） inductively coupled Ar plasmas（ICPs）.The effects of the phase shift θ between the RF bias voltage and the RF source on the IED is investigated under various discharge conditions.It is found that as θ increases from 0 to π,the IED moves towards the low-energy side,and its energy width becomes narrower.In order to figure out the physical mechanism,the voltage waveforms on the substrate are also measured.The results show that as θ increases from 0 to π,the amplitude of the voltage waveform decreases and,meanwhile,the average sheath potential decreases as well.Specifically,the potential drop in the sheath on the substrate exhibits a maximum value at the same phase（i.e.,θ = 0） and a minimum value at the opposite phase（i.e.,θ = π）.Therefore,when ions traverse across the sheath region above the substrate,they obtain less energies at lower sheath potential drop,leading to lower ion energy.Besides,as θ increases from π to 2π,the IEDs and their energy widths change reversely.

Analysis of electron energy distribution function in a magnetically filtered complex plasma

The electron energy distribution function （EEDF） for a magnetically filtered dusty plasma is studied in a dusty double plasma device where the electron energy can be varied from 0.15 eV to ～ 2.8 eV and plasma density from 10 6 cm-3 to 10 9cm-3 . The characteristics of EEDF for these ranges of plasma parameters are investigated in a pristine plasma as well as in a dusty plasma. The results show that in the presence of dust, there is a drastic modification in EEDF patterns in a plasma with higher electron temperature and density than those in a low temperature and low density plasma produced by the magnetic filter.

A New Insight into Energy Distribution of Electrons in Fuel-Rod Gap in VVER-1000 Nuclear Reactor

In order to calculate the electron energy distribution in the fuel rod gap of a VVER- 1000 nuclear reactor, the Fokker-Planck equation （FPE） governing the non-equilibrium behavior of electrons passing through the fuel-rod gap as an absorber has been solved in this paper. Besides, the Monte Carlo Geant4 code was employed to simulate the electron migration in the fuel-rod gap and the energy distribution of electrons was found. As for the results, the accuracy of the FPE was compared to the Geant4 code outcomes and a satisfactory agreement was found. Also, different percentage of the volatile and noble gas fission fragments produced in fission reactions in fuel rod, i.e. Krypton, Xenon, Iodine, Bromine, Rubidium and Cesium were employed so as to investigate their effects on the electrons＇ energy distribution. The present results show that most of the electrons in the fuel rod＇s gap were within the thermal energy limitation and the tail of the electron energy distribution was far from a Maxwellian distribution. The interesting outcome was that the electron energy distribution is slightly increased due to the accumulation of fission fragments in the gap. It should be noted that solving the FPE for the energy straggling electrons that are penetrating into the fuel-rod gap in the VVER-1000 nuclear reactor has been carried out for the first time using an analytical approach.

Model of leaf energy distribution and its experimental validation of Populus tomentosa Carr

Leaf temperature of a plant is the result of heat transfer between the plant and its environment. There are many factors that can affect leaf temperature, such as the solar radiation energy, environmental temperature, wind velocity, evaporation on the leaf surface, photosynthesis, respiration and so on, which have different effects on the temperature of leaves. In first instance, we analyzed the heat transfer on leaves of Populus tomentosa Carr. theoretically and constructed a model of energy distribution. We then validated the model by analyzing seven different kinds of one-year-old P. tomentosa leaves experimentally. The result shows that solar radiation is the main energy input and the dominant ways of thermal diffusion are heat transfer between the upper and lower leaf surfaces and evaporation from the leaf surface.

Pressure-Induced Instability Characteristics of a Transient Flow and Energy Distribution through a Loosely Bent Square Duct

Due to widespread applications of the bent ducts in engineering fields such as in chemical,mechanical,bio-mechanical and bio-medical engineering,scientists have paid considerable attention to invent new characteristics of fluid flow in a bent duct(BD).In the ongoing study,a spectral-based numerical technique is applied to explore flow characteristics and energy distribution through a loosely bent square duct(BSD)of small curvature.Flow is accelerated due to combined action of the non-dimensional parameters;the Grashof number Gr(=1000),the curvatureδ(=0.001),and the Prandtl number Pr(=7.0)over a wide domain of the Dean number 0<Dn≤5000.Fortran code is developed for the numerical computations and Tecplot software with Gost Script and Gost View is used for the post-processing purpose.The numerical study investigates steady solutions(SS)and as a result,a structure of six-branches of SSs composed of 2-to 6-vortex solutions is obtained.Then oscillating behavior with flow transition is discussed by obtaining timedependent solutions followed by power-spectrum analysis.Results showthat the trend of unsteady flow(UF)undergoes in the sequence‘steady-state→multi-periodic→steady-state→chaotic→multi-periodic→chaotic’,if Dn is increased.Asymmetric 2-to 4-vortex solutions are obtained for UF.Convective heat transfer(CHT)is then examined obtaining temperature gradients and energy contours,and it is found that CHT is significantly enhanced by the secondary flow(SF).The present study reveals that the role of secondary vortices over heat transfer(HT)is highly significant and HT occurs substantially for the chaotic solutions.Finally,for the interest of validation,the present numerical result is compared with the previously published experimental outcomes,and a good agreement is remarked.

Calculation of the Energy Distribution of Electrons Emitted from Tungsten

The numerical calculation of the energy distribution of electrons emitted by the tungsten, for a triangular barrier and given reflection images, has been carried out. It is shown that the numerical solution of Schrodinger equation is the most effective method of calculation of the transparency of potential barrier among those used in work. I-V characteristics, which were calculated by the application of this method under different conditions, match the experimental data the best. The application of the numerical solution of Schrodinger equation for the calculation of transparency of the potential barrier enables the in-depth analysis of the tunnels phenomena and allows forecasting the effects which can not be received by application of Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation.

Model for atomization droplet size and energy distribution ratio at the distal end of an electrostatic nozzle

Electrostatic atomization minimum quantity lubrication(EMQL)employs the synergistic effect of multiple physical fields to atomize minute quantities of lubricant.This innovative methodology is distinguished by its capacity to ameliorate the atomization attributes of the lubricant substantially,which subsequently augments the migratory and infiltration proficiency of the droplets within the complex and demanding milieu of the cutting zone.Compared with the traditional minimum quantity lubrication(MQL),the EMQL process is further complicated by the multiphysical field influences.The presence of multiple physical fields not only increases the complexity of the forces acting on the liquid film but also induces changes in the physical properties of the lubricant itself,thus making the analysis of atomization characteristics and energy distribution particularly challenging.To address this objective reality,the current study has conducted a meticulous measurement of the volume average diameter,size distribution span,and the percentage concentration of inhalable particles of the charged droplets at various intercept positions of the EMQL nozzle.A predictive model for the volume-averaged droplet size at the far end of the EMQL nozzle was established with the observed statistical value F of 825.2125,which indicates a high regression accuracy of the model.Furthermore,based on the changes in the potential energy of surface tension,the loss of kinetic energy of gas,and the electric field work at different nozzle orifice positions in the EMQL system,an energy distribution ratio model for EMQL was developed.The energy distribution ratio coefficients under operating conditions of 0.1 MPa air pressure and 0 to 40 kV voltage on the 20 mm cross-section ranged from 3.094‰to 3.458‰,while all other operating conditions and cross-sections had energy distribution ratios below 2.06‰.This research is expected to act as a catalyst for the progression of EMQL by stimulating innovation in the sphere of precision manufacturing,providing theoretical foundations,and offering practical guidance for the further development of EMQL technology.
