It has been experimentally shown that, for all used values of q laser radiation, laser-induced plasma from gas-containing targets is characterized by a lower relative yield (dN/dE) of multi-charged ions with a charge number of Z>+3, compared to the plasma produced on the surface of the single element target. Moreover, the tendency to reduce dN/dE of multi-charged ions of the multi-element target, in comparison with the relative yield of ions from the plasma of the single-element target, is more significant and it depends on the charge of the excited ions. The increase in the charge and energy state, duration, and yield of ions of the heavy component, which occurs with an increase in the content of the light component in the target, has been established. This is explained by a decrease in the efficiency of recombination processes caused by an increase in the expansion velocity of a plasma plume due to a decrease in its average mass.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135496794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reactive gas passes through a dense inductively coupled plasma located inside the plasma source, while argon is supplied through a separate channel near the magnetron. A theoretical model has been built allowing the calculation of spatial distributions of fluxes of metal atoms and molecules of activated reaction gas, as well as the stoichiometry area of the synthesized coatings. Calculations were performed on the example of aluminum oxide. It was found that the plasma activation of the reactive gas allows to increase the sticking coefficient of oxygen to the surface of the growing coating from values less than 0.1 for non-activated molecular oxygen to 0.9 when 500 W of RF power is introduced into the inductive discharge. In order to verify the developed model, experiments were conducted on depositing an aluminum oxide film on glass substrates located at different distances from the magnetron target, followed by measuring the distribution of film transparency along the substrate length and comparing it with the calculated distribution. A comparison of the calculation results with the experimental data shows a good agreement in the entire studied range of parameters. Based on the generalization of the obtained results, an empirical rule was formulated that the power ratio of the magnetron discharge and the plasma activator should be approximately 8:1.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135498251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is based on a statistical approach to the processes of induced transitions of structural elements of a crystalline matrix at the interfacial boundary with its solution. From the energy principle, an analytical dependence of the velocity of a spherical azimuthally symmetric inclusion on its size is obtained, considering the threshold nature of the motion. It is shown that the theoretical dependence correlates well with experimental results obtained for inclusions of aqueous saturated solution in potassium chloride crystals irradiated by high-energy electrons. The proposed model of the radiation-induced motion of a liquid inclusion is dynamic and allows us to interpret the nature of inclusion velocity changes in the crystal over time to determine the characteristic energy parameters of point defects.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135498252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process involved focusing sunlight onto the samples using a telephoto lens with a suitable focal length of 30cm and a diameter of 90 mm, which provided sufficient energy to complete the chemical etching. By using a constant etching time of 60 minutes and different concentrations of hydrofluoric acid (ranging from 25% to 40%), layers with varying properties were obtained. The resulting surfaces were studied using the atomic force microscope (AFM), revealing the formation of different nanostructures and particles with varying shapes, sizes, and thicknesses depending on the preparation conditions.

Our results for lattice modulus, energy bandgap, and optical parameters are consistent with both experimental data and theoretical predictions. The energy bandgap for all compounds is relatively large due to an increase in s-states in the valence band. Our findings suggest that the optical transition between (O - S - Te) - p states in the highest valence band and (Zn - S - O) - s states in the lowest conduction band is shifted to the lower energy band.
