Abstract
A microwave-induced atmospheric pressure linear plasma jet source at 2.45 GHz based on a square coaxial structure was proposed. The device was capable of generating a plasma jet by exciting argon gas with 50 W microwave incident power. By increasing the microwave power or gas flow rate, the width and height of the resulting linear plasma jet gradually expanded. Experimental results showed that a linear plasma jet with a width of 30 mm and a height of 8 mm was produced with 200 W microwave incident power and 40 l/min gas flow rate. Optical emission spectra measurements at different positions showed that the produced linear plasma has good homogeneity. The electron density of the generated linear plasma reached 1015 cm−3. The energy utilization of this plasma source was more than 90%. This portable plasma device offers great potential for linear plasma applications in areas such as food processing and environmental treatment.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
