Spherical and Cylindrical Capacitor01:26

Spherical and Cylindrical Capacitor

6.6K
A spherical capacitor consists of two concentric conducting spherical shells of radii R1 (inner shell) and R2 (outer shell). The shells have  equal and opposite charges of +Q and −Q, respectively. For an isolated conducting spherical capacitor, the radius of the outer shell can be considered to be infinite.
Conventionally, considering the  symmetry, the electric field between the concentric shells of a spherical capacitor is directed radially outward. The magnitude of the field,...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

1.5K
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...

Charging Conductors By Induction

8.9K
The Earth is a good conductor of electricity, and it is so big that it can be considered an infinite source or sink of charges. It can easily exchange charges with any matter.
Generally, conductors like metals do not allow any excess charge to be present on them. Any excess charge added to metals easily flows away, for example, when a metal is placed on the Earth. This process is called earthing.
However, conductors can be charged by a process called induction. For example, consider charging a...

Van de Graaff Generator01:15

Van de Graaff Generator

2.2K
Van de Graaff generators (or Van de Graaffs) are devices used to demonstrate high voltage due to static electricity that can also be used for research. Robert Van de Graaff first built one in 1931 (based on original suggestions by Lord Kelvin) for use in nuclear physics research.
Van de Graaff uses both smooth and pointed surfaces, conductors, and insulators to generate large static charges and, hence, large voltages. A substantial excess charge can be deposited on the sphere because it moves...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Plasma Physics
  • Surface Engineering

Background:

  • Vacuum arc deposition is a widely used technique for thin film deposition.
  • However, it suffers from high macroparticle densities, which can degrade film quality.
  • Developing methods to mitigate this issue is crucial for advancing the technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel vacuum arc deposition system.
  • To characterize the plasma properties and coating characteristics.
  • To demonstrate the reduction of macroparticle densities in deposited films.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a cylindrical electrostatic probe for plasma diagnostics (electron temperature, plasma density, ion flux).
  • Employed optical emission spectroscopy to identify plasma species (Al i, Al ii).
  • Characterized deposited films for deposition rate and surface roughness (Ra).
  • Measured arc voltage, current, and anode temperature (up to 1800 °C) under varying conditions.

Main Results:

  • Achieved mean electron temperature of ~2 eV and plasma density from 0.5-6 × 10^16 m^-3.
  • Ion flux ranged from 0.06-0.35 A m^-2.
  • Deposition rates varied from 0.8-4 nm/s with surface roughness as low as 25 nm (Ra).
  • Successfully deposited films with significantly reduced macroparticle densities.

Conclusions:

  • The novel vacuum arc deposition system effectively produces high-quality films.
  • The system overcomes the primary limitation of macroparticle emission inherent in conventional vacuum arc processes.
  • This advancement holds promise for improved thin film applications.
