朗缪尔三探针方法脉冲火花放电等离子体诊断

Diagnosis of Pulsed Spark Discharge Plasma by Triple Langmuir Probes

  • 摘要: 根据强流脉冲电子束源结构及性能优化需求,准确测量脉冲等离子体的分布规律十分重要。基于脉冲火花放电等离子体产生机制和朗缪尔三探针工作原理,设计探针结构和诊断电路参数,满足空间分辨率7.5 mm3。通过数字示波器采集存储原始测量信号,利用Matlab软件编写数据处理程序,可计算得到电子温度和电子密度,其时间分辨率为0.04 μs。将探针置于束源出口位置进行测量,对应真空度7.0×10-3Pa和放电电压8000 V条件下,等离子体峰值电子温度为3.8 eV,电子密度为4.0×1018m-3。在不同放电条件下测量,发现等离子体的电子温度随工作气压增大而减小,电子密度与之相反,提高放电电压时,电子温度和电子密度均出现增大,符合理论分析和实验规律。因此,本文所研制的诊断系统满足脉冲放电等离子体测量要求。

     

    Abstract: To optimize the structure and performance of high current pulsed electron beam source, an accurate measurement of pulsed plasma distribution is really necessary. Based on the generation mechanism of pulsed spark discharge plasma and the working principle of triple Langmuir probes, the probe structure and diagnostic circuit parameters were designed, which satisfied the spatial resolution of 7.5 mm3. The original signals were collected and recorded by a digital oscilloscope, and the electron temperature and electron density could be calculated through a processing program written by Matlab software, where the time resolution is 0.04 μs. When measuring at the beam source outlet with the working conditions of vacuum pressure 7.0×10-3 Pa and discharge voltage 8000 V,the peak value of electron temperature and density reached 3.8 eV and 4.0×1018m-3. For the different working conditions, it was found that the electron temperature decreased with the increment of vacuum pressure, while the electron density was the opposite. Using the higher discharge voltage, the electron temperature and electron density increased consistently. The testing results were in accord with theoretical analysis and experimental regularity. The self-developed diagnostic system can be applied for the measurement of pulsed discharge plasma satisfactorily.
