AbstractAbstract
[en] A highly-sensitive in-situ diagnosis approach for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has been developed in dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) based on pulsed cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). Absorption bands of NO2 in a spectral region from 508 nm to 509 nm were used, and a detection limit of 17.5 ppb was achieved. At this level of sensitivity, the quantitative and real-time monitoring of the production and removal of NO2 are accomplished for the first time in the discharge region. By measuring the removal amount and rate at different NO2 initial number densities from 1.54 × 1013 cm−3 to 2.79 × 1014 cm−3, we determined the relationship between them and NO2 initial number densities. The removal amount linearly increases with the initial number density, while the removal rate increases logarithmically. At a lower initial number density, the removal rate is limited. By considering the chemical kinetic mechanism in plasma, a qualitative explanation for the above phenomena is proposed: the additional NO2 produced by discharge limits the removal rate, since the NO2 concentration is dominated by the competition between the forward reactions (production) and the reverse reactions (removal).

AbstractAbstract
[en] To describe the complex kinetics of formation and destruction mechanism of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), there is an increasing demand for real-time and in situ analysis of NO2 in the discharge region. Pulsed cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) provides an excellent diagnostic approach. In the present paper, CRDS has been applied in situ for time evolution measurement of NO2 concentration which is rarely investigated in gas discharges. In pulsed direct current discharge of NO2/Ar mixture at a pressure of 500 Pa, a peak voltage of −1300 V and a frequency of 30 Hz, for higher initial NO2 concentration (3.05 × 1014 cm−3, 8.88 × 1013 cm−3), the NO2 concentration sharply decreases at the beginning of the discharge afterglow and then becomes almost constant, and the pace of decline increases with pulse duration; however, for lower initial NO2 concentration of 1.69 × 1013 cm−3, the NO2 concentration also decreases at the beginning of the discharge afterglow for 200 ns and 1 μ s pulse durations, while it slightly increases and then declines for 2 μ s pulse duration. Thus, the removal of low-level NO2 could not be promoted by a higher mean energy input. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] As advanced linear plasma sources, cascaded arc plasma devices have been used to generate steady plasma with high electron density, high particle flux and low electron temperature. To measure electron density and electron temperature of the plasma device accurately, a laser Thomson scattering (LTS) system, which is generally recognized as the most precise plasma diagnostic method, has been established in our lab in Dalian University of Technology. The electron density has been measured successfully in the region of 4.5 × 1019 m−3 to 7.1 × 1020 m−3 and electron temperature in the region of 0.18 eV to 0.58 eV. For comparison, an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) system was established as well. The results showed that the electron excitation temperature (configuration temperature) measured by OES is significantly higher than the electron temperature (kinetic electron temperature) measured by LTS by up to 40% in the given discharge conditions. The results indicate that the cascaded arc plasma is recombining plasma and it is not in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). This leads to significant error using OES when characterizing the electron temperature in a non-LTE plasma. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Recently, a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic (LIBS) system has been developed for in situ measurements of the chemical compositions of plasma facing materials (PFMs) in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). In this study, a LIBS system, which was used in a similar optical configuration to the in situ LIBS system in EAST, has been developed to investigate the spatial distribution of PFM elements at 10"−"4 Pa. The aim of this study was to understand the nature of the spatial distribution of atoms or ions of different elements in the plasma plume and optimize the signal to background ratio for the in situ LIBS diagnosis in EAST. The spatial profiles of the LIBS signals of C, Si, Mo and the continuous background were measured. Moreover, the influence of laser spot size and laser energy density on the LIBS signals of C, Si, Mo and H was also investigated. The results show that the distribution of the C, Si and Mo peaks' intensities first increased and then decreased from the center to the edge of the plasma plume. There was a maximum value at R ≈ 1.5 mm from the center of the plasma plume. This work aims to improve the understanding of ablating plasma dynamics in very low pressure environments and give guidance to optimize the LIBS system in the EAST device. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] In this paper, a low pressure Ar/N2 shock plasma jet with clearly multicycle alternating zones produced by a DC cascade arc discharge has been investigated by an emission spectral method combined with Abel inversion analysis. Plasma emission intensity, electron, vibrational and rotational temperatures of the shock plasma have been measured in the expansion and compression zones. The results indicate that the ranges of the measured electron temperature, vibrational temperature and rotational temperature are 1.1 eV to 1.6 eV, 0.2 eV to 0.7 eV and 0.19 eV to 0.22 eV, respectively, and it is found for the first time that the vibrational and rotational temperatures increase while the electron temperature decreases in the compression zones. The electron temperature departs from the vibrational and the rotational temperatures due to non-equilibrium plasma effects. Electrons and heavy particles could not completely exchange energy via collisions in the shock plasma jet under the low pressure of 620 Pa or so

AbstractAbstract
[en] The hydrocarbon impurities formation is inevitable due to wall erosion in a long pulse high performance scenario with carbon-based plasma facing materials in fusion devices. The standard procedure to determine the chemical erosion yield in situ is by means of inverse photon efficiency D/XB. In this work, the conversion factor between CH_4 flux and photon flux of CH A → X transition (effective inverse photon efficiency PE"−"1) was measured directly using a cascaded arc plasma simulator with argon/methane. This study shows that the measured PE"−"1 is different from the calculated D/XB. We compared the photon flux measured by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and calculated by electron impact excitation of CH(X) which was diagnosed by cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). It seems that charge exchange and dissociative recombination processes are the main channels of CH(A) production and removal which lead to the inconsistency of PE"−"1 and D/XB at lower temperature. Meanwhile, the fraction of excited CH(A) produced by dissociative recombination processes was investigated, and we found it increased with T_e in the range from 4% to 13% at T_e < 1 eV. Our work suggests that the CH spectroscopy should be reinterpreted and the conversion factor should have a new definition instead of D/XB since the electron impact excitation is not the only channel of CH(A) production. These results have an effect on evaluating the yield of chemical erosion in divertor of fusion device. (paper)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The study of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) discharge is vital for its application in gas-insulated equipment. Direct current partial discharge (PD) may cause SF6 decomposition, and the decomposed products of SF6, such as F atoms, play a dominant role in the breakdown of insulation systems. In this study, the PD caused by metal protrusion defects is simulated by a needle-plate electrode using pulsed high voltage in SF6/Ar mixtures. The spatial and temporal characteristics of SF6/Ar plasma are analyzed by measuring the emission spectra of F and Ar atoms, which are important for understanding the characteristics of PD. The spatial resolved results show that both F and Ar atom spectral intensities increase first from the plate anode to the needle and then decrease under the conditions of a background pressure of 400 Pa, peak voltage of −1000 V, frequency of 2 kHz, pulse width of 60 μs, and electrode gap of 5–9 mm. However, the distribution characteristics of F and Ar are significantly different. The temporal distribution results show that the spectral intensity of Ar decreases first and then increases slowly, while the spectral intensity of F increases slowly for the duration of the pulsed discharge at the electrode gap of 5 mm and the pulse width of 40–80 μs.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Our recent investigations have indicated that dual-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) has great potential in the online measurement of the laser ablation process of the ultrathin co-deposition layer on the first mirrors of HL-2A tokamak during the cleaning. The spectroscopic study of the plasma emission can be used to determine the elemental composition of the ablated materials. The co-deposition layer (approximately 0.8 μm) was completely removed after multiple pulses at 0.76 J/cm2, but the plasma initiated by the cleaning laser pulse was too weak to produce LIBS signals. Notable enhancement of the signal emission was observed using DP-LIBS. The real-time monitoring and accurate identification the interface boundary can provide important information regarding the cleaned mirror surface in order to avoid under-cleaning. This could help us to develop more effective automatic control of the laser cleaning processes for fusion devices

AbstractAbstract
[en] Molybdenum owing to its high melting point and high reflectivity over a broad range of wavelengths has been used as first mirrors in EAST and HL-2A tokomaks and is also a candidate material for ITER mirrors. The effect of atmospheric conditions of Ar, N2 and He at reduced pressure (2.0 × 10−4 to 5 mbar) on the physical processes of the atomic and background emission, mass ablation, electron density and temperature of a laser produced Mo plasma has been investigated in order to adapt Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for in situ diagnostic and cleaning of the first mirrors. The obtained results strongly indicate that pressure and physical properties of the background gases play a crucial role to interpret the emission (line and continuum background) and characteristic parameters (electron density and temperature) of the plasma. The plasma shielding effect was found less pronounced for He environment and it leads to enhancement of the material evaporation from the target surface

AbstractAbstract
[en] Lithium conditioning can significantly improve the plasma confinement of EAST tokamak by reducing the amount of hydrogen and impurities recycled from the wall, but the details of this mechanism and approaches that reduce the concentrations of hydrogen and impurities recycle still remain unclear. In this paper, we studied lithiated tungsten via a cascaded-arc plasma simulator. An in situ laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) diagnostic system has been developed to chemically image the three-dimensional distribution of lithium and impurities on the surface of lithiated tungsten co-deposition layer for the first time. The results indicate that lithium has a strong ability to draw hydrogen and oxygen. The impurity components from the co-deposition processes present more intensity on the surface of co-deposition layer. This work improves the understanding of lithiated tungsten mechanism and is useful for using LIBS as a wall-diagnostic technique for EAST
