Instabilities of a Z-pinch dischargeHodgson, Rodney Trevor January 1964 (has links)
The cylindrical column of plasma produced in the first stage of a z-pinch discharge is theoretically unstable. For one particular type of instability, the amplitude of a surface perturbation increases at a rate dependent on the acceleration of the surface (Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities).
An experimental study of these instabilities has been carried out by photographing the discharge column with a high-speed framing-camera.
Simple rotationally symmetric instabilities have been excited in the normally stable initial stage of an argon z-pinch discharge by means of a set of equally spaced glass rings. The framing camera photographs show that the instabilities develope approximately in accordance with the Rayleigh-Taylor theory. No axial drift of the instabilities is observed, but the new technique of studying instabilities reveals that the acceleration of the discharge boundary changes appreciably three or four times during the initial stage of the discharge. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate

The anodization of silicon in an r.f. plasmaScholz, Frank Joseph January 1971 (has links)
The work contained in this thesis is concerned with the elucidation of the growth mechanism responsible for the formation of silicon dioxide by plasma anodization. Three possible theories for the growth mechanism have been considered; namely, (1) the rate-limiting diffusion theory (2) the classical theory of high-field ionic conduction and (3) the impact ionization theory.
The verification of the applicability of any of the above three theories required the design and construction of (a) an in situ film thickness measuring system and (b) a plasma anodization system capable of controlling the substrate temperature.
The experimental data could not be accounted for by either the rate-limiting diffusion or high-field ionic conduction theories, but good agreement was found with predicted results from an impact ionization theory. The development of a suitable impact ionization theory yielded a value for the electron mobility in SiO₂ which was almost identical to the average value calculated from recent Hall effect measurements. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate

Analysis of Radicals in Gas-Liquid Electrical DischargesUnknown Date (has links)
Electrical discharge is a commonly used method to produce ions and radicals that can be used for degrading compounds as well as for chemical synthesis. Previously, the application of electrical discharges has been studied in liquids such as water and alcohols to produce hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen and to destroy organic compounds in the water and gas phases. Recently low power gas-liquid electric discharges have been employed to increase efficiency for hydrogen peroxide and oxidized products for synthesis or degradation. Determination and analysis of the intermediate radicals produced in the plasma has not been studied intensively for discharges at the gas-liquid interface such as aerosol sprays and thin liquid films. According to theoretical models based on reaction kinetics in plasma these radicals such as hydroxyl radicals play an important role in formation of hydrogen peroxide. However, there may be excess hydroxyl radicals formed and not involved in the formation of hydrogen peroxide. The main goal of this work is to characterize and identify key intermediate radicals and their reaction pathways in the liquid phase, gas phase, and at the interface of these aerosol droplets and thin film surfaces using various gases and liquid feeds. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester, 2015. / March 17, 2015. / advanced oxidation processes, electrical discharge, Fenton reaction, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, plasma / Includes bibliographical references. / Bruce R.

A Study of Shock Formation and Propagation in the Cold-Ion ModelUnknown Date (has links)
The central purpose of this thesis is to explore the behavior of the numerical solution of the Cold- Ion model with shock forming conditions in one and two dimensions. In the one
dimensional case, a comparison between the numerical solution of the Vlasov equation is made. It is observed that the Cold-Ion model is no longer representative of the cold-ion limit of the
Vlasov-Poisson equation when a spike forms in the solution. It was found that the lack of a spike in the solution of the Cold-Ion model does not necessarily mean that a bifurcation has not
formed in the solution of the Vlasov-Poisson equation. It was also determined that the spike present in the solution of the one dimensional problem appears again in the two dimensional
simulation. The findings presented in this thesis opens up the question of determining which initial and boundary conditions of the Cold-Ion model causes a shock to form in the
solution. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Scientific Computing in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Fall Semester, 2014. / October 15, 2014. / Cold-Ion, Plasma, Shocks, Vlasov-Poisson / Includes bibliographical references. / Max Gunzburger, Professor Directing Thesis; Janet Peterson, Committee Member; Sachin Shanbhag, Committee Member.

Active Feedback Control of MHD Modes and Plasma Rotation Using Currents Driven from a Bias Electrode ArrayBrooks, John Whitlock January 2020 (has links)
The first large-scale study of magnetically-confined plasma for the production of fusion energy is scheduled to begin this decade and will answer many questions. Two critical issues are: (1) how to control and prevent non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbations that may drive harmful current and plasma energy into the surrounding walls, and (2) how to understand the relationship between plasma rotation, plasma confinement, and plasma stability.
To address both, this dissertation reports research with biasable electrode arrays in the HBT-EP tokamak. This work conducts systematic studies of driven current and achieves the first active control of plasma rotation and rotating magnetic instabilities with a toroidal electrode array. Electrode-driven current impacts the plasma in several ways. First, it can increase, decrease, and reverse plasma rotation as measured by Mach probes, which results in an altered radial electric field. By controlling the electrode voltage with an active feedback system, plasma rotation is controlled between 4 and 8 kHz. Second, by modulating the driven electrode current at fixed frequencies, spontaneous magnetic perturbations develop at the plasma’s edge. These distortions are field aligned, do not rotate, and match the magnetic helicity of the scrape-off-layer (SOL). Direct measurement of SOL current to collectors mounted on the wall, show that the SOL current is field-aligned with a filamentary structure. When a naturally-occurring rotating m=2 mode is present, magnetic measurements show that the two structures are superimposed with no obvious indication of coupling. Third, when the electrode current is driven at the natural frequency of rotating magnetic perturbations, the plasma’s proportional response increases, indicating a resonance at 9 kHz. Resonance is observed in the radial electric field, floating potential profile, plasma rotation, and magnetic measurements. Finally, when the electrode array is biased in quadrature and actively controlled, driven currents modify the rotation and amplitude of the long-wavelength rotating magnetic modes. When the quadrature electrode array is phase locked to the n=1 mode rotation, mode amplitudes are suppressed by as much as 50%. Suppression shows a clear dependence on a phase between the rotating mode and the driven current. These experiments show that the structure of SOL currents are field-aligned and demonstrate a clear relationship between biased-electrode driven current and the rotation and amplitude of helical magnetic perturbations.
