Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) analysis of the problem of identification of impurities in gas within the Plasma Electron Spectroscopy (PLES) method is carried out. The idea of the PLES is based on the analysis of the effect on the EEDF due to electrons, released in the Penning reactions between the metastable atoms of working gas and impurity. 1d3v PIC/MCC numerical code is developed and verified under the conditions of RF capacitively coupled discharge in helium. The efficiency of the code was increased by its parallelization using Open MPI. Test calculations showed that the efficiency of the code increases about 70 times with increase of the number of cores up to 95. Simulations have been done for DC glow discharge in helium doped by the small amount of argon. The elastic, excitation and ionization collisions between electron-neutral pairs and isotropic scattering and charge exchange collisions between ion-neutral pairs and Penning ionizations are taken into account. PIC/MCC numerical model is incorporated with equations for density of the metastable helium atoms in the fluid approximation. Numerical results are consistent well with the theoretical analysis of formation of nonlocal EEDF and existing experimental data.

SARIKAYA, C. Kusoglu; Rafatov, İsmail; KUDRYAVTSEV, A. A. (2016-06-01)
The work deals with the Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) analysis of the problem of detection and identification of impurities in the nonlocal plasma of gas discharge using the Plasma Electron Spectroscopy (PLES) method. For this purpose, 1d3v PIC/MCC code for numerical simulation of glow discharge with nonlocal electron energy distribution function is developed. The elastic, excitation, and ionization collisions between electron-neutral pairs and isotropic scattering and charge exchange col...
Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision Method for Simulation of RF Glow Discharges: Effect of Super Particle Weighting
ERDEN, E.; Rafatov, İsmail (Wiley, 2014-08-01)
A parallel Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collision (PIC/MCC) numerical code for glow discharge plasma simulations is developed and verified. This method is based on simultaneous solution of the Lorentz equations of motion of super particles, coupled with the Poisson's equation for electric field. Collisions between the particles are modelled by the Monte Carlo method. Proper choice of particle weighting is critically important in order to perform adequate and efficient PIC simulations of plasma. Herein, effe...
Mass dispersion in transfer reactions with a stochastic mean-field theory
Washiyama, Kouhei; Ayik, Sakir; Lacroix, Denis (2009-09-01)
Nucleon transfer in symmetric heavy-ion reactions at energies below the Coulomb barrier is investigated in the framework of a microscopic stochastic mean-field theory. Although mean field alone is known to significantly underpredict the dispersion of the fragment mass distribution, a considerable enhancement of the dispersion is obtained in the stochastic mean-field theory. The variance of the fragment mass distribution deduced from the stochastic theory scales with the number of exchanged nucleons. Therefo...
Quantum chemical simulation of nitric oxide reduction by ammonia (scr reaction) on v2o5 / tio2 catalyst surface
Soyer, Sezen; Önal, Işıl; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
The reaction mechanism for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide by ammonia on (010) V2O5 surface represented by a V2O9H8 cluster was simulated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The computations indicated that SCR reaction consisted of three main parts. In the first part ammonia activation on Brønsted acidic V-OH site as NH4+ species by a nonactivated process takes place. The second part includes the interaction of NO with pre-adsorbed NH4 + species to eventually form nitros...
Thermal decomposition of glycidyl azide polymer by direct insertion probe mass spectrometry
Fazlioǧlu, Hatice; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2002-01-01)
Thermal decomposition reactions and products of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP), have been investigated by direct insertion mass spectrometry and evolved gas analyses by FTIR spectroscopy techniques. It has been observed that thermal degradation of GAP begins with cleavage of the side groups. Although the main decomposition started with the elimination of molecular nitrogen from the azide functional group, degradation initiated by loss of N-3 and CH2N3, depolymerization type reactions were also identified. Rea...
