Presheath formation and area design limit satellite-based Langmuir probes

In this article,the effect of the finite conductive surface area of a satellite on the use of satellite-based Langmuir probes is reviewed in light of the basic theory of asymmetric double Langmuir probes(ADLPs).Recent theoretical and experimental studies have discussed electron sheath/presheath formation and the electron Bohm criterion along with their implications for satellite-based Langmuir probes.The effects predicted by the latest theory of the electron Bohm criterion were not experimentally observed and the experimental results remain supportive of a critical area ratio(A_(L)/A_(S))_(crit)=(m_(i)/(2.3m_(e)))^(1/2)between the probe area A_(S)and the satellite area A_L as conventionally believed.A satellite-based Langmuir probe must satisfy this criterion to physically act as a single Langmuir probe.However,experimental investigations also found that high-energy electrons adversely affect(A_(L)/A_(S))_(crit)and a Langmuir probe's signal quality by giving additional electron current to A_(L).Based on these results,a number of limitations of the maximum probe area are derived when designing satellite-based Langmuir probes,with consideration of both the aim of the satellite and the plasma where the satellite-based probe works.These proposed measures are expected to only partially alleviate the effect of the inadequate satellite surface area on the application of satellite-based Langmuir probes.Using a larger satellite to carry a Langmuir probe remains the most viable means to obtain precise space plasma parameters.

激光诱导荧光诊断的波长标定方法的研究

激光诱导荧光作为一种非侵入式的诊断技术,通过激光扫频得到粒子速度分布函数来计算其速度和温度。为得到较高信噪比的粒子速度分布函数,需要对多次采集的数据进行平均处理,这需要标定每次扫频的激光波长,以确定每次扫频的相同波长范围。为此发展了利用碘分子吸收光谱来进行波长标定的技术。为探究有效的光谱对齐算法,分别使用最小均方误差法、误差梯度下降算法和卷积神经网络在模拟碘分子吸收光谱数据集上进行了测试。结果显示,最小均方误差法具有很好的对齐精度,且对齐平均误差小于两个采样间隔。利用最小均方误差法对齐碘分子吸收光谱,对Ar+激光诱导荧光实验结果的激光波长进行了标定,平均了多组Ar+速度分布函数。相较于利用法布里-珀罗干涉仪共振峰标定以及激光触发曲线标定,通过碘吸收光谱标定得到的离子温度更准确。

Fast-sweeping Langmuir probes:what happens to theⅠ–Ⅴtrace when sweeping frequency is higher than the ion plasma frequency?

Limited particle transit time is one of several limiting factors which determine the maximum temporal resolution of a Langmuir probe.In this work,we have revisited the known fast sweep Langmuir probe techniques in a uniform,quiescent multi-dipole confined hot cathode discharge with two operation scenarios:one in which the probe sweeping frequency fsweepis much lower than the ion plasma frequency fpi,another one where fsweepis much greater than fpi,respectively.This allows investigation into the effect of limited ion-motion on I–V traces.Serious distortions of I–V traces at high frequencies,previously claimed to be an ion-motion limitation effect,were not found unless shunt resistance is sufficiently high,despite a f;/f;ratio of~3.On the other hand,evidences of sheath capacitance on the I–V traces have been observed.Distortions of I–V traces qualitatively agree with predictions of sheath capacitance response to the sweeping voltage.Additionally,techniques in fast sweep Langmuir probe are briefly discussed.The comparison between the high-speed dual Langmuir probe(HDLP)and the single probe setup shows that the capacitive response can be removed via subtracting a leakage current for the single probe setup almost as effectively as using the HDLP setup,but the HDLP setup does remain advantageous in its facilitation of better recovery of weak current signal commonly in low density plasma.

Development of a compact high-density blue core helicon plasma device under 2000 G magnetic field of ring permanent magnets

A helicon wave plasma source in a tube of ring permanent magnets(PMs)has been constructed to study the effect of the conflguration of the magnetic fleld with zero magnetic points on plasma parameters.This device also serves as an exploration platform for a simple,compact helicon wave plasma source adaptable to engineering applications.A small-diameter(26 mm)highdensity(~10^(18)m^(-3))blue core plasma is produced in~1 Pa argon by helicon RF(radiofrequency)discharge using a NagoyaⅢantenna under magnetic fleld(~2 k G)of compact ring PMs(length~204 mm).Operational parameters,i.e.RF power and neutral gas pressure are scanned and plasma density is measured by an RF compensated probe to explore the operating characteristics of the device.Iconic feature of a helicon discharge,such as blue core plasmas and E-H-W mode transitions are well observed in the device,despite the wavelength calculated using the conventional dispersion relation of a bounded whistler waves(Chen 1991 Plasma Phys.Control.Fusion 33339)is order of magnitudes longer than the length of the plasma in this device which seems to suggest that such helicon device is impossible.Surprisingly,the wavelength calculated by the unbounded whistle wave dispersion formula in turn suggests the occurrence of a half wavelength resonance.
