Generation of intense electron beams by superposing two discharges, namely a low pressure do glow discharge and a high current pulsed discharge at pressures and voltages very similar to that of the pseudo-spark gap devices, has been reported previously [1, 2]. The small diameter, high peak current and short pulse length are the characteristics of the electron beam generated using this technique. In this technique, no high vacuum facilities are necessary, and many applications such as micro processing, X-rays generation, pre-ionization for high-power lasers are feasible. The electron beam current is in the range of 10-30 A. A full characterization of the electron beam that is utilized in this work has been given in a previous work [3]. In this work it is reported that the most energetic part of the electron beam is about 5-nanosecond pulse duration. The beam is magnetically deflected to the specific point. The pulse repetition rate is up to 100 Hz. Micro-processing as drilling tenths of microns diameter holes in different materials such as copper, titanium, tantalum has been performed. The microstructure of the irradiated materials has been investigated by means of SEM and AFM. Currently, the possibility of processing a matrix of holes is being considered.

Microprocessing by intense pulsed electron beam Goktas, H; Kirkici, H; Oke, G; Udrea, AV (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2002-10-01) Generation of intense electron beams by superposing two discharges, namely, a low-pressure dc glow discharge and a high-current pulsed discharge at pressures and voltages very similar to that of the pseudospark gap devices, has been studied. The small beam diameter, high peak current, and short pulse length are the characteristics of the electron beam generated using this technique. This technique does not require high vacuum facilities, and applications such as microprocessing, X-ray generation, and preion...
Polyfluorene Thin Films Synthesized by a Novel Plasma Polymerization Method GÖKTAŞ, HİLAL; Mansuroğlu, Doğan; ATALAY, BETÜL; Bilikmen, Sinan; KAYA, İSMET (2012-02-01) The synthesis of polyfluorene (PF) thin films by simultaneously superposing a continuous and pulsed discharge and the characterizations of these samples are presented. The double discharge plasma system is constructed by superposing two discharges; namely, a low pressure dc glow one and a high current pulsed one. The fluorene monomer in powder form was vaporized in the system at argon plasma without any modification, at 0.5 mbar operating pressure. The structure of the thin films was investigated via XPS, U...
Investigation of nonlinear oscillations in the gas discharge-semiconductor system: effect of different fluid modelling approaches Yeşil, Cihan; Rafatov, İsmail; Department of Physics (2018) The work deals with the study of nonlinear oscillations in a system, consisted of planar glow discharge layer, coupled to a high-ohmic semiconductor layer. The whole system is sandwiched between two planar electrodes, to which the DC voltage is applied. The discharge models are developed in Comsol Multiphysics (v5.2), and based on ﬂuid description of plasma, with drift-diﬀusion approximation for charged particle ﬂuxes. Numerical tests are carried out for the discharge in Nitrogen, with GaAs semiconductor la...
Interaction of a Narrow Gap Glow Discharge Plasma with Far Infrared Radiation Alasgarzade, N.; Takan, Taylan; Mansuroglu, D.; ŞAHİN, ASAF BEHZAT; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Altan, Hakan (2016-09-30) Commercially available neon indicator lamps (also known as Glow Discharge Detectors) are low-cost, sensitive detectors operating at room temperature for mm-wave/Terahertz detection. Furthermore, their high speed operation make them attractive from the stand-point of applications in the far-infrared region of the spectrum, however questions still remain regarding the mechanisms involved in the detection of this type of radiation. In order to study the plasmas generated in these lamps, a DC gas discharge cham...
GEOMETRICAL APPROACH FOR REDUCTION OF TOOL SHAPE DEGENERATION IN ELECTRIC DISCHARGE MACHINING (EDM) Cogun, Can; Deniz, Tayfun Caglar; Kucukturk, Gokhan (2012-01-01) In this study, the geometric wear characteristics of tool electrodes were obtained for various pulse time, discharge current and machining depth settings in electric discharge machining. Different forms of protrusions were machined on the front surface of the tool to reduce the geometric wear. Significant reductions in original tool geometric wear characteristics (front wear, side wear and edge wear) were obtained with the use of square cross-section protrusions. The dimensions of the square cross-section p...
