Experimental and numerical study of radio frequency atmospheric pressure glow discharges

Liu, Dawei January 2009 (has links)
Radio frequency (rf) atmospheric pressure glow discharges (APGDs) have received growing attention for their exciting scope of new science and their immense potential for widespread applications. While geometrically similar to conventional low-pressure discharges used in the semiconductor industry for decades, rf APGDs present new physics that require investigation. This thesis presents an experimental and computational study of helium rfAPGDs aimed at making a contribution to the current understanding of these discharges and enabling their optimization for different applications. The timely interest and significance of this work is highlighted by the publication of different parts of this thesis in 10 peer-reviewed international journals. Starting with the electron trapping in rf APGDs, the thesis looks into the electron heating mechanism responsible for sustaining the discharges, the influence of the rf excitation frequency on the discharge characteristics, the role of impurities in the discharge chemistry as well as the evolution of the discharge as the size is reduced down to microplasma dimensions. The findings of this research are based on the synergistic use of electrical measurements, optical diagnostics and self-developed computational models. With the knowledge gained from this thesis, rf-APGDs can be readily used for a wide-range of applications including biological decontaminations, nanostructure fabrication and portable gas analyzers.

SAMPA (System for Comparative Analysis of Metabolic PAthways) - uma comparação de vias metabólicas / SAMPA (Systemn for Comparative Analysis of Metabolic PAthways)

Oberdam de Lima Cunha 04 June 2008 (has links)
Com o advento das tecnologias que propiciaram os seqüenciamentos e as análises de genomas completos em tempo relativamente curto, muitos dados sobre vias metabólicas de procariotos e eucariotos puderam ser gerados. Análises comparativas de vias metabólicas de diferentes genomas podem auxiliar no entendimento das relações organizacionais dentre e fora das espécies. Com base em tais perspectivas, este trabalho tem como finalidade implementar um sistema que permita comparar, através de diferentes critérios, vias metabólicas de bactérias. O sistema SAMPA (System for comparative Analysis of Metabolic PAthways) é composto por um banco de dados, com informações sobre vias metabólicas de diversos organismos, e um conjunto de 5 ferramentas utilizadas para comparar estas vias metabólicas e agrupar os organismos que possuam vias metabólicas relacionadas. Como estudo de caso para teste da ferramenta, foi utilizada a família Mycoplasmataceae. / The advent of genome sequencing technology and complete genome analysis has provided new data on prokaryote and eukaryote metabolic pathways. The comparative analysis of metabolic pathways from different organisms can help us understand inter and intra species organizational relationships. Having this in mind, this work focused on building a system that allows for comparing the bacterial metabolic pathways, according to a set of pre-established criteria. SAMPA (System for comparative Analysis of Metabolic PAthways) comprises a database containing information on metabolic pathways in many organisms, and a set of five tools that can be used to compare these metabolic pathways and to group organisms carrying metabolic pathways that are related. As a case study to validate the tool, we the Mycoplasmataceae family of organisms was used.

Dentre os diversos métodos para produzir plasmas nestas condições destaca-se a descarga por microplasmas. No presente trabalho, um novo dispositivo foi desenvolvido e utilizado para deposição de filmes finos. Em estudos de arrasto de vapores no dispositivo foi verificado a relação linear entre a vazão do gás e a massa arrastada. Deposições poliméricas foram obtidas pela mistura de gás argônio com o monômero hexametildissiloxano (HMDSO) em substratos de vidro. A deposição de filmes ocorreu com a vazão de gás entre 0,07 L/min e 0,4 L/min para potências entre 100 mW e 650 mW. Para outras vazões, ocorreu a formação de material sólido em forma de grânulos submilimétricos. A caracterização dos filmes por espectroscopia infravermelha com transformada de Fourier (FTIR) mostrou a presença de grupos moleculares como trimetilsilil Si(CH3)3, siloxano SiOSi e metino CHx. Os testes de adesão realizados no padrão D3359 ASTM com fita Scotch 3M mostraram boa adesão dos filmes aos substratos. Medições de ângulo de contato mostraram a diminuição da hidrofilicidade da superfície dos substratos com valores variando de 40° sem tratamento para quase 90° com o filme fino. Os resultados mostraram que dispositivo desenvolvido foi utilizado com sucesso na deposição em pressão atmosférica de filmes de HMDSO indicando que pode ser empregado também com outros monômeros. / The treatment of materials using plasma has been used widely nowadays with the development of new technologies based on electrical discharges at atmospheric pressure. Among the various methods of producing plasma in these conditions, we gave attention to microplasmas. In this study, a new device was developed and applied to the deposition of polymeric thin films. The dragging of the vapour in the device was investigated for various organic compounds and gas flow rate. It was observed a linear relation between these parameters. The polymeric depositions were obtained with the mixture of argon gas and hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) on glass slides. The thin film deposition occurred with gas flow rate between 0.07 L/min and 0.4 L/min with potencies around 100 mW and 650 mW. The formation of solid submilimeter grains was observed at others gas glow rates. The regular thin films was analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and showed the molecular groups of trimethylsilyl Si(CH3)3, siloxane SiOSi and methyne CHx. The films had a good adhesion when subjected to the D3359 ASTM standard test using adhesive tape Scotch 3M. Contact angle characterization has shown a decrease of the hydrophilicity surface property with values changing from 40o without treatment up to 90o with thin film. The results has shown that the developed device was successfully used for deposition of HMDSO films at atmospheric pressure indicating that can be used with other monomers as well.
