The present work is an investigation on the effect of working gas composition as well as applied voltage and operating pressure on the behavior of SXR emitted from the APF device. Three volumetric ratios(90:10), (75:25), and (50:50) of nitrogen:neon (N2:Ne) admixture were used with operating conditions at applied voltages of 11, 12, and 13 kV and operating pressures of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5 torr. Using (N2:Ne) gas mixture ratios of (90:10) and (75:25) and at applied voltage of 11 kV, the optimum pressure for maximum intensity of SXR was 3.5 torr. However, for the percentage of (50:50), it shifts to higher pressure of 4 torr. At higher applied voltages of 12 and 13 kV, the optimum pressures shift to higher values, 4 torr for both volumetric ratios (90:10) and (75:25), and 4.5 torr for the ratio of (50:50). It was found that the intensity of SXR increases with the increase of neon (Ne) percentage in the admixture of (N2:Ne) and applied voltage. The highest intensity was for the volumetric ratio of (50:50) operating at the voltage of 13 kV. Our results illustrated that mixing neon (Ne) with nitrogen (N2) as the working gas in the PF is a power source of SXR emission. 相似文献

Based on the consideration of that for operation of the plasma focus in neon, a focus pinch compression temperature of 200–500 eV
(2.3 × 106–5 × 106 K) is suitable for good yield of neon soft X-rays (SXR), numerical experiments have been investigated on the plasma focus
device PF-SY1 using the latest version Lee model code. The Lee model code is firstly applied to characterize the PF-SY1 Plasma
Focus. Keeping the bank parameters and operational voltage unchanged but systematically changing other parameters, numerical
experiments were performed finding the optimum Y
sxr was 0.026 J. Thus we expect to increase the neon Y
sxr of PF-SY1 from its present typical operation; without changing the capacitor bank and the electrode configuration merely
by changing the operating pressure. The Lee model code was also used to run numerical experiments on PF-SY1 with neon gas
for optimizing soft X-ray yield with reducing L
0, varying z
0 and ‘a’. From these numerical experiments we expect to increase the neon Y
sxr of PF-SY1 with reducing L
0, from the present 0.026 J at L
0 = 1600 nH to maximum value of near 26 J at an achievable L
0 = 10 nH. 相似文献

Numerical experiments have been investigated on modified AECS-PF2 with neon filling gas using the latest version of Lee model. The model was applied to characterize the 2.8 kJ plasma focus AECS-PF2, finding a neon soft X-ray yield (Ysxr) of 0.04 J in its typical operation. By numerical experiments the optimum combination of pressure of 0.57 Torr, anode length of 9 cm and anode radius of 1.57 cm was found. The optimum Ysxr found also to be 0.87 J. Thus we expect to increase the neon Ysxr of AECS-PF2 22-fold from its present typical operation; without changing the capacitor bank, merely by changing the electrode configuration. The Lee model code was also used to run numerical experiments on AECS-PF2 with neon gas for optimizing soft X-ray yield with reducing L0, varying z0 and ‘a’. From these numerical experiments we expect to increase the neon Ysxr of AECS-PF2 with reducing L0, from the present 0.04 J at L0 = 280 nH to maximum value of near 21 J at an achievable L0 = 15 nH at the pressure 2.8 Torr. 相似文献

Experimental results related to HXR and SXR properties of Neon plasma on the APF plasma focus device is presented. The experiments were carried on over a wide range of neon pressure and at voltages 11, 12 and 13 kV using plastic scintillator (NE102A) coupled with high gain PMT and six filtered photo PIN diodes. For the charging voltages of 11–13 kV with 2.17–3.04 kJ stored energy, the optimum operating pressure in neon is found to be in the range of 3.5–5 torr and the highest HXR emission was observed in the pressure of 5 torr at the voltage 13 kV and the maximum average HXR production is (9.84 ± 0.59) ×10–7 volt sec. The behavior of SXR intensities were registered by different filters and it was found out that Al-Mylar 6 μm and Cu 10 μm has the highest and lowest amount of X-ray transmission. 相似文献

In this paper, an investigation on the X-rays emitted in different pressures by APF plasma focus devices using filtered PIN-diodes
and fast plastic scintillation detector is reported. The highest X-ray emission was observed in the pressure of 1.6 torr and
the behavior of X-ray intensities registered by different filters versus applied pressure were seemed to be similar. The X-ray
angular distribution was bimodal, peaked approximately at ±18°. The intensity of X-rays decreased abruptly along the central
axis of the device where the cylindrical plasma pinch was formed. 相似文献

In this paper the experimental results in different working conditions in Amirkabir Plasma Focus (APF) Device have been compared with the numerical results of a two-dimensional simulation code based on Lee’s model. The experiments were done with pure Neon and Argon as operating gases over a wide range of working conditions (gas pressures and discharge voltages). It is observed that by a proper choice for values of the efficiency factors, comparison between numerical and experimental results shows a good agreement. 相似文献

An investigation on the HXR emitted from APF plasma focus device operated with different volumetric ratios of nitrogen-neon (N2:Ne) admixture working gas at different voltage-pressure limits is presented. The optimum pressures obtained at the applied voltages of 12, and 13 kV were 3.5 torr for percentage of (50:50) of (N2:Ne) admixture and 3 torr for percentages of (75:25) and (90:10) in admixture and also for pure N2, while at the voltage of 11 kV, the optimum pressures were 3 torr for percentage of (50:50) and 2.5 torr for percentages of (75:25), (90:10), and pure N2. At each applied voltages of 11, 12, and 13 kV, with increasing percentage of N2 in the (N2:Ne) admixture, the intensity of HXR was found to increase where the low intensity was for percentage of (50:50) of (N2:Ne) and the higher intensity was for pure N2. The results illustrate that the voltage and the composition of working gas are effective parameters in the HXR emission from a plasma focus device. 相似文献

To investigate the effect of different anode tips on the hard X-ray (HXR) emission from APF plasma focus device (16 kV, 36 μf, and 115 nH) we considered two shapes of anode tips, i.e., flat or conic, with Cu, Al and W anode tip materials. The highest HXR intensity was observed with conic W anode insert and the lowest with flat Al anode insert. In comparison with the hollow anode tube the HXR signals obtained from flat and especially conic W inserts nearly tending to have the same intensity along the axis of the device. Therefore the shape and the material of the anode tip has significant effect on the production of HXR emissions. This study show that the employment of a convenient shape of anode tip results to more isotropic emission of HXR. 相似文献

In this paper behavior of hard X-ray (HXR) anisotropy and its intensity along the anode bar from APF plasma focus facility
(16 kV, 36 μf, and 115 nH) with different anode tip materials investigated experimentally. Magnetic probe signals registered
to choose only discharges with high degree of current sheath symmetry. The signals obtained by scintillation detectors by
a special arrangement at each angular position show that the employment of higher Z anode insert materials not only increase
the intensity of HXR signal, but also result to high degree isotropic emission of HXR. The side on emitted intensity along
the anode bar has been studied by moving the detector in the direction of central electrode axis. The results confirm the
importance of anode tip material on HXR signal intensity. 相似文献

In this paper, using the current fitting method, the Lee model parameters are computed for the IR-MPF-100 plasma focus (maximum energy ~115 kJ) operated in the neon and deuterium gases and the results are presented in the different operational conditions. The values of fc, fcr and fmr were obtained 0.43, 0.55 and 0.05 respectively for the neon gas in all values of pressure and voltage. fm varies as a function of pressure and voltage. fm varies from 0.03 to 0.04 for 23.3 kJ of energy and it is almost constant equal to 0.024 for 10.2 kJ of energy. In the case of deuterium gas, fc and fcr are found 0.3 and 0.4 respectively. In this case, \({\text{f}}_{\text{m}}\) varies between 0.028 and 0.1 and fmr varies between 0.05 and 0.20. It is noted that in the case of deuterium gas, fm and fmr decrease with the pressure increasing approximately and in the case of neon gas fm increases with pressure increasing. So we calculate neutron yield and soft X-ray yield using the Lee model code for the different operational conditions. 相似文献

Measurement of soft x-ray emission from a low-energy plasma focus operated with nitrogen within the pressure range of 0.1–1.0 mbar is presented. The x-rays are detected by using an assembly of Quantrad Si PIN-diodes with differential filtering and with a multipinhole camera. In the 1.0–1.3 keV and 1.0–1.5 keV windows, the x-ray yield in 4 geometry is 1.03 J and 14.0 J, respectively, at a filling pressure of 0.25 mbar and the corresponding efficiencies are 0.04% and 1.22%. The total x-ray emission in 4 geometry is estimated at 21.8 J, which corresponds to the system efficiency of about 1.9%. The soft x-ray emission is found dominantly as a result of electron beam activity on the anode tip, which is confirmed by the images recorded by a pinhole camera. 相似文献

For operation of the plasma focus in nitrogen, a focus pinch compression temperature range of 74–173 eV (0.86 × 106–2 × 106 K) is found to be suitable for good yield of nitrogen soft X-rays in the water window region. Using this temperature window, numerical experiments using five phase Lee model have been investigated on UNU/ICTP PFF and APF plasma focus devices with nitrogen filling gas. The Lee model was applied to characterize and optimize these two plasma focus devices. The optimum nitrogen soft X-ray yield was found to be Ysxr = 2.73 J, with the corresponding efficiency of 0.13 % for UNU/ICTP PFF device, while for APF device it was Ysxr = 4.84 J, with the corresponding efficiency of 0.19 % without changing the capacitor bank, merely by changing the electrode configuration and operating pressure. The Lee model code was also used to run numerical experiments for optimizing soft X-ray yield with reducing L0, varying z0 and ‘a’. From these numerical experiments we expect to increase the nitrogen soft X-ray yield of low energy plasma focus devices to maximum value of near 8 J, with the corresponding efficiency of 0.4 %, at an achievable L0 = 10 nH. 相似文献

A 3 kJ Mather-type UNU/ICTP plasma focus device with neon filling is used, for the first time, as a soft X-ray source for imaging of thin biological samples including insects. A charge-coupled-device (CCD) based pinhole projection system, placed in a differentially pumped chamber, is used for radiography using neon soft X-rays. The image brightness, contrast and resolution have been optimized by varying soft X-ray yield, pinhole size, camera chamber length and X-ray filters. The system can simply be modified for table-top soft X-ray microscopy of thin biological samples. 相似文献

The most conventional way for polymerization of acrylic acid on different substrates is using RF devices and introducing of
other devices is under way. In this work we have a new study on formation of polymer Acrylic Acid using APF plasma focus device.
The formation of plasma polymer acrylic acid is discussed using results obtained from attenuated total reflectance infrared
spectroscopy (ATR). The results show that after 15 shots, nitrogen pulses performed polymerization on the specimens and the
main peaks of ATR spectra assured poly acrylic acid formation on SBR substrate. 相似文献

The expected emission spectra (full, Bremsstrahlung, recombination, and line) of neon focussed plasma have been studied for different conditions. Expected neon plasma spectra at certain electron temperature range have been plotted. The suitable electron temperatures ranges for neon plasma soft X-ray emission and extreme ultraviolet emission have been investigated. The X-ray ratio curves for various electron temperatures with probable electron and ion densities of the neon plasma produced have been computed with the assumption of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium model for the distribution of the ionic species. These ratio curves could be used for electron temperatures deduction of neon plasma focus. 相似文献

For the plasma focus device AECS PF-2 operated in Ar and INTI PF in Ne, model parameters of mass and current in the axial
phase of plasma focus were found by matching the measured and calculated current waveforms over a range of pressures. The
results show a value of fm = 0.05 ± 0.01 over 0.2–1.2 Torr in Ar; and fm = 0.04 ± 0.01 over 0.7–4.1 Torr in Neon. The value of fc = 0.7 was fitted for all cases. Combining these results with those published for several other small machines it would appear
that, where measured current waveforms are not available for example in designing new machines, a good compromise would be
to take a guideline value of fm = 0.05 and fc = 0.7 for both Argon and Neon. 相似文献

The nitridation of Al surfaces is obtained by irradiating nitrogen ions from APF device. The Vickers Micro-Hardness values are improved approximately three times for the nitrided samples comparing to the non-nitrided ones. The X-ray diffraction analysis is carried out in order to explore the phase changes in the near surface structure of the metals. The Nuclear Reaction Analysis shows the depth of the nitride composed on the metal surfaces clearly and quantitatively. The results of Scanning Electron Microscopy indicate changes in surface morphology which are the emergence of a smooth and uniform film scattered on the surface of the nitrided specimens. 相似文献

The characteristics of the Ar ion beam generated in a low energy plasma focus device were investigated. A Mather-type PF device filled with argon gas driven by an 11 μF single capacitor bank was used. A Faraday cup, operating in the bias ion collector mode, is used to estimate the energy spectrum and ion flux along the PF axis. The results of the experiments show the dependence of the energy spectrum on the gas pressure and the anode shape. 相似文献

This paper presents an experimental study of neutron yield as well as neutron angular distribution on the APF plasma focus
device. The system operates with pure deuterium gas in varying the filling pressure and working voltages of 11.5 and 13.5 kV.
The maximum average of neutron yield is (2.88 ± 0.29 × 108) neutrons per shot at the pressure of 7 torr. The neutron angular distribution is measured with housing an array of seven
silver activation Geiger-Muller counters at the angles of 0°, ±30°, ±60°, and ±90° in a distance of 90 cm from the anode tip.
The results of neutron angular distribution suggest that the neutron production mechanism may be predominantly beam target
model. 相似文献

This article is about the characteristics of the hard X-ray (HXR) emission from the Filippov type plasma focus (PF) device, Dena. The article begins with a brief presentation of Dena, and the mechanism of the HXR production in PF devices. Then using the differential absorption spectrometry, the energy resolved spectrum of the HXR emission from a 37 kJ discharge in Dena, is estimated. The energy flux density and the energy fluence of this emission have also been calculated to be 1.9 kJ cm−2 s−1 and 9.4 × 10−5 J cm−2. In the end, after presentation of radiography of sheep bones and calf ribs, the medical application of the PF devices has been discussed. 相似文献
