The double discharge pulsed electron beam generator (DDPEBG) is a device that generates an intense filamentary electron beam by superposing two discharges namely a low pressure dc glow discharge and a high current pulsed discharge. The characteristics of this electron beam are: small beam diameter (8 μm), high peak current (20 A), and short pulse length (30 ns). The filling gas is helium, argon or nitrogen at approximately 0.1 Torr pressure, and the discharge chamber does not require a high vacuum system. The absence of a high vacuum system and the capability to generate ultra short, intense electron beams are the major advantages of this device and, might be useful in many applications. In this work, further results on operating characteristics of the DDPEBG, such as pinch effects and electron density measurements are given. The beam diameter is measured experimentally by utilizing the interaction of a single pulse with diffrent metal foils targets. These foils are then examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the measured diameters are compared with the beam diameter values resulted from the pinch effect calculations of the filamentary discharge. The electron density is determined from the beam diameter and current intensity.

The non-uniform argon dc glow discharge system parameters measured with fast three couples of double probe Akbar, Demiral; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2006) 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. TCDP system has been developed to use for magnetized, unmagnetized, and for low oscillating plasma systems by using low pass filter with optically isolated circuitry to minimize the measurement errors with higher resolution and accuracy. Difference in the shapes and diameters of the discharge tube from region to region leads to change in t...
Synthesis of carbon nanotubes by a plasma based pulsed electron beam generator Goktas, H.; Ayhan, U. B.; Gündüz, Güngör; Disbudak, H.; Eryilmaz, E.; Oke, G.; Cicek, B.; Somer, M. (IOP Publishing, 2006-01-01) Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized by using a plasma based electron beam generator, which has a fast filamentary discharge formed from the superposition of an ordinary low-pressure dc glow and a high-current pulsed discharge. To our knowledge, CNTs are synthesized for the first time by this method. Acetylene was used as the carbon source and the iron catalyst coated silica substrates were prepared by the sol-gel technique. The silica plates were first coated with an appropriate iron (III) nitrate solu...
Deposition of carbon by intense fast electron beam generator Goktas, H; Oke, G; Udrea, M; Esendemir, A (2002-01-01) The electron beam generator consists of a fast filamentary discharge in superposition with an ordinary glow discharge in low-pressure gases. The filling gas is helium, argon or nitrogen at approximately 0.1 Torr pressure. The duration of the electron beam is shorter than 30 ns and the peak current intensity is typically 20 A. The deposition of carbon on a substrate has been done by two methods; firstly, the low pressure argon gas was replaced by methane gas as a plasma source and, secondly, a graphite targe...
A Study of Crystallization in Plasma Modified Polypropylene Mansuroglu, Dogan; Mecit, Giray; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit (2019-01-01) A capacitively coupled radio-frequency plasma discharge is used to improve the surface properties of Polypropylene. The changes in the surfaces are investigated for various plasma discharge parameters. After the plasma modification, the polypropylene material transforms into a para-crystalline form and shows the properties of the monoclinic crystals dominantly, observed using the X-ray diffraction measurements. The results indicate significant improvements in the crystallinity after the plasma exposure. The...
Parametric study of coaxial dielectric barrier discharge in atmospheric pressure argon Li, Hui; Yuan, Chengxun; Kudryavtsev, Anatoly; Katircioglu, T. Yasar; Rafatov, İsmail (2021-11-01) A parametric study of the characteristics of coaxial dielectric barrier discharge sustained in atmospheric pressure argon is carried out. The numerical model is based on the drift-diffusion theory of gas discharges. The integral characteristics of the discharge, such as the root mean square of the discharge current, the period average dissipated power, and the efficiency of the power deposition, are explored in the parameter space spanned by the voltage amplitude and frequency of the applied AC field, the b...
