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.

Self-consistent treatment of gas heating in modeling of a coaxial DBD in atmospheric pressure CO2 Zhou, Chen; Yuan, Chengxun; Kudryavtsev, Anatoly; Yasar Katircioglu, T.; Rafatov, İsmail; Yao, Jingfeng (2023-01-01) This work is devoted to the numerical study of characteristics of dielectric barrier discharge maintained in a coaxial reactor in atmospheric pressure CO2. The numerical model is based on the drift-diffusion theory of gas discharges, and takes into account the gas heating in a self-consistent manner. The effect of incorporating gas heating into the discharge properties, specifically, on CO2 decomposition, is investigated for wide range of amplitude and frequency of the applied voltage. Calculations revealed...
A mass spectrometric study on plasma reactions of styrene and methyl methacrylate Özden (Orhan), Bilge; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Akovali, Güneri (1991-01-01) High frequency gas discharge plasma reactions of styrene and methyl methacrylate at low pressure have been studied mass spectrometrically. When styrene was used as a monomer, the most important reaction was plasma state polymerization; some decomposition of styrene and the formation of a small amount of C2H4 were detected. Under the same conditions, methyl methacrylate was decomposed mainly to CO, CO2 and C2H4.
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...
