Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the most widely used plasma source in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), also known as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The ICP source, or torch, consists of three concentric quartz tubes with argon gas flowing through them. A spark from a Tesla coil initiates the ionization of argon, generating a high-temperature plasma.
The ions and electrons produced interact with the fluctuating magnetic field created by a water-cooled...

Background:

Laser-plasma extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources require a stable, continuously supplied target.
Existing methods for generating EUV sources face challenges with target stability and supply rate.
Cryogenic jet systems offer a potential solution for high-repetition-rate EUV generation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a cryogenic xenon (Xe) jet system with an annular nozzle for supplying Xe capillary targets.
To investigate the influence of nozzle design, specifically pressure loss, on Xe jet formation and stability.
To assess the suitability of the developed Xe jet system for laser-plasma EUV generation.

Main Methods:

Development of a cryogenic Xe jet system utilizing an annular nozzle.
Experimental evaluation of cooling power (54 W) and temperature stability (+/-0.5 K at 180 K).
Investigation of pressure loss effects by varying nozzle length and observing target formation, including cavitation suppression and focused jet formation.

Main Results:

The cryogenic Xe jet system achieved a cooling power of 54 W with a temperature stability of +/-0.5 K at 180 K.
Shortening the annular nozzle mitigated pressure loss, suppressing cavitation-induced spraying and forming a focused Xe jet.
A solid-Xe capillary target (100-70 microm phi) was formed at < or =0.01 m/s, suitable for laser-plasma EUV generation experiments.

Conclusions:

The developed cryogenic Xe jet system effectively supplies stable Xe capillary targets for laser-plasma EUV generation.
Optimizing nozzle design to reduce pressure loss is crucial for suppressing spray and achieving a focused jet.
Further refinement towards thinner-walled capillary targets is suggested for enhanced inertial confinement effects in EUV generation.
