The possibilities of eliminating spectral interferences caused by molecular bands and lines of the plasma gas in a microwave-boosted glow discharge source (MB-GDS) have been investigated. Suitable modulation of one of the two excitation sources and phase sensitive amplification were used to selectively amplify the signals emitted by the sample atoms. The molecular bands or lines of the plasma gas were hardly influenced by the modulation and did not appear in the amplified spectrum. In particular, the OH line interference on the most important analytical lines of Mg, Bi and Sn and the interference of Ar II on Al were eliminated to a high degree. The standard deviation of the background after suppression of interfering lines was increased. The limits of detection (3s) for Al, Bi, Mg and Sn in samples of aluminum and copper were found to be in the range 0.1-9 mug g(-1).

Non-uniform axial electric field in argon glow discharge plasma Akbar, D.; Bilikmen, S. (IOP Publishing, 2006-05-01) The non-uniform argon dc glow discharge plasma system has been constructed in a very special design to investigate the effects of variable tube radius on plasma parameters. By using isolated computer controlled three couples of a double probe (TCDP) system, the electron temperature, electron density, the reduced electric field, and electron drift velocity are measured at low and intermediate pressures. It is shown that the electron temperature and reduced electric field (density) decreases (increases) as th...
Fast Double Probe Technique And Effect of Non-Uniform Glow Discharge System on Plasma Parameters Akbar, D.; Bilikmen, S. (2005-09-02) The non-uniform dc glow discharge plasma system is studied by using isolated computer controlled three couples of double probe system (TCDP)in argon gas, simultaneously. The double probe is more applicable than the single probe in diagnostics, specially in plasma reactors which have insulating or semi-insulating walls. TCDP technique has been developed to use for magnetized, un-magnetized, and for low oscillating plasma systems by using optically isolated circuitry to minimize the measurement errors with hi...
Spatial variations of non-uniform argon glow discharge Akbar, D.; Bilikmen, S.; Akbar, H. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-01-01) The spatial variation of a non-uniform glow discharge due to the different diameters of the same discharge tube on the plasma parameters is attracting a considerable attention. For this reason the fundamental spatial plasma parameters of an argon. glow discharge have been measured by using fast three couple of Langmuir double probe (TCDP) technique. The orbital motion limited (OML) theory has been used, since the probe radius is smaller than Debye length xi < 1. The axial and radial variation of the electro...
Plasma polymerization of selected organic compounds Dilsiz, N; Akovali, G (1996-01-01) Plasma polymerization reactions and plasma polymers of xylene/air, xylene/argon, xylene/air/argon, toluene/air/argon, dioxane and allyl cyanide were compared with respect to discharge power (between 50 and 500 W), where all other plasma operational parameters were kept constant. In plasma polymerization, the glow characteristics are known to play an important role depending on the factor W/F,where W is the discharge power and Fis the monomer flow rate. In plasma polymerization reactions, it is known that de...
Depth profile investigations of silicon nanocrystals formed in sapphire by ion implantation Yerci, Selçuk; Yıldız, İlker; BAROZZİ, MARİO; BERSANİ, MASSİMO; Turan, Raşit (2007-07-15) Depth profiles of Si nanocrystals formed in sapphire by ion implantation and the effect of charging during X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) measurements have been studied. Atomic concentration and the chemical environment of Si, Al, and O have been measured as a function of depth from the sample surface by SIMS and XPS. Both as-implanted and annealed samples have been analyzed to understand the effect of nanocrystal formation on the depth distribution, chemic...
