In situ studies of a molten metal anode ablation in a nearly atmospheric pressure DC arc
Stanislav Musikhin, Valerian Nemchinsky, Hengfei Gu +2
A DC arc with a meltable metal anode in a near-atmospheric pressure hydrocarbon gas is an emerging method for producing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In these systems, e…
Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence system for Space and Phase-resolved Ion Velocity Distribution Function Measurements
Sung Hyun Son, Ivan Romadanov, Nirbhav Singh Chopra +1
In this work, we present a planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) system for two-dimensional (2D) spatial and phase-resolved ion velocity distribution function (IVDF) measurement…
Multimodal azimuthal oscillations in electron beam generated plasma
Nirbhav Singh Chopra, Mina Papahn Zadeh, Mikhail Tyushev +3
Electron beam (e-beam) generated plasmas with applied cross electric and magnetic fields are promising for low-damage material process…
Anticathode effect on electron kinetics in electron beam generated plasma
Nirbhav Singh Chopra, Ivan Romadanov, Yevgeny Raitses
Electron beam (e-beam) generated plasmas with applied crossed electric and magnetic fields are promising for low damage processing of ma…
Report on laser-induced fluorescence transitions relevant for the microelectronics industry and sustainability applications
V. S. Santosh K. Kondeti, Shurik Yatom, Ivan Romadanov +3
A wide variety of feed gases are used to generate low-temperature plasmas for the microelectronics and the sustainability applications. These plasmas often have a complex combinati…
Growth of metal nanoparticles in hydrocarbon atmosphere of arc discharge
Stanislav Musikhin, Valerian Nemchinsky, Yevgeny Raitses
A direct current (DC) arc discharge is a widely used method for large-scale production of metal nanoparticles, core-shell particles, and carbon nanotubes. Here, we explore the grow…
