Abstract
The influences of upper-coil and lower-coil current modulation of tandem-type modulated induction thermal plasma (tandem-MITP) were studied for silicon nanoparticle synthesis using both experimental and numerical approaches. The modulation condition was set to three conditions of non-modulation, lower-coil current modulation only, and simultaneous upper-coil and lower-coil current modulation. The experimentally obtained results indicate that simultaneous modulation of the upper-coil and lower currents provides smaller nanoparticles with a lower standard deviation of particle size. This result suggests that large modulation of two coil currents can offer more rapid quenching of the temperature field in modulated induction thermal plasma. The developed numerical model also predicted provision of smaller nanoparticles by high quenching because of strong entrainment gas flow by the simultaneous modulation of upper-coil and lower coil currents. Comparison was made between the numerical result and experimentally obtained results in terms of time variation in the radiation intensity distribution, and particle size distribution, indicating fair agreement between them. From these experimentally obtained and numerical results, simultaneous modulation of the upper-coil and lower-coil currents was found to be preferable for nanoparticle synthesis.
期刊介绍:
Publishing original papers on fundamental and applied research in plasma chemistry and plasma processing, the scope of this journal includes processing plasmas ranging from non-thermal plasmas to thermal plasmas, and fundamental plasma studies as well as studies of specific plasma applications. Such applications include but are not limited to plasma catalysis, environmental processing including treatment of liquids and gases, biological applications of plasmas including plasma medicine and agriculture, surface modification and deposition, powder and nanostructure synthesis, energy applications including plasma combustion and reforming, resource recovery, coupling of plasmas and electrochemistry, and plasma etching. Studies of chemical kinetics in plasmas, and the interactions of plasmas with surfaces are also solicited. It is essential that submissions include substantial consideration of the role of the plasma, for example, the relevant plasma chemistry, plasma physics or plasma–surface interactions; manuscripts that consider solely the properties of materials or substances processed using a plasma are not within the journal’s scope.
