Abstract
Dual-frequency excitation of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactors, where the plasma is generated by a low-frequency (LF) source and modulated by a radio-frequency (RF) source, have been widely adopted in the low-pressure regime. However, the impacts of the RF voltage and LF voltage amplitudes on the plasma parameters, including the spatiotemporal distributions of ion and electron densities, electron dynamics, and gas temperatures, remain poorly understood in the atmospheric pressure regime. The present work addresses this issue by conducting joint experimental and simulation studies for an atmospheric-pressure 50 kHz/5 MHz dual-frequency driven DBD plasma reactor based on phase-resolved optical emission spectra and a drift–diffusion model. The results demonstrate that the dynamic spatiotemporal behaviors of electrons change dramatically as the voltage of the RF component increases from 50 V to 300 V with the voltage of the LF component fixed at 1 kV. Moreover, the RF component is further demonstrated to modulate other plasma characteristics, such as particle densities, gas temperature, and argon emissions. These results contribute toward the tailoring of the non-equilibrium and nonlinear plasma parameters obtained under atmospheric pressure conditions.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
