The optimized sensor structures are sensor 1: BK7/Ag (55 nm)/ZnO (15 nm)/black phosphorus (BP) (0.53 nm), sensor 2: BK7/Au (50 nm)/ZnO (5 nm)/BP (<inline-formula> <tex-math>$5times 0.53$ </tex-math></inline-formula> nm), and sensor 3:BK7/Ag (55 nm)/ZnO (15 nm)/BlueP/transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) (0.75 or 0.78 nm). For the detection process, ten samples are taken with their refractive indices. This work analyzes the sensor’s performance by exploiting the transfer matrix method with the help of the angular interrogation technique at a wavelength of 633 nm. Initially, the thickness optimization of the metallic layer, ZnO, and TMDC is shown by observing the performance of minimum reflectance and sensitivity.

The electrons and ions form the charge neutral background where the electron distribution is assumed to be Maxwellian while the ion distribution is nonthermal. These days, one of the key topics in plasma physics is nonlinear waves in plasma. By using the reductive perturbation technique to the set of hydrodynamic equation considered for an electron-ion–dusty (e-i-d) plasma, a coupled korteweg-de vries (KdV) equation is derived. The impact of strong coupling and self-gravitation on the solitary wave profiles, nonlinear coefficient, and dispersive coefficient are studied both analytically and by numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"52 11","pages":"5439-5450"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inactivated flux residues can cause electrical shortages and functional issues by electrochemical migration. Because of miniaturization and the complexity of recent electronic products, a cleaner manufacturing process is required. Atmospheric pressure plasma treatment (PT) is a commonly applied surface cleaning method in the manufacturing industry and has been proved to be effective in improving the wettability in case of metal and polymer surfaces. Three different types of printed circuit board (PCB) surface finishes were investigated before and after PT. Improvement on wettability of the PCB pads is demonstrated. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms of plasma cleaning and to possibly determine the root cause of the improvement of solderability on PCBs resulting from atmospheric pressure PT. For this investigation of the PCB surface finishes, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were taken, and the composition of the surfaces was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDAX) and laser-induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS) as well.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"52 11","pages":"5345-5349"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The material of the insulating medium, the state of the electric brushes, and the distance between the electric brushes can directly affect the discharge threshold of the electric brush plate. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on these factors in order to reduce the possibility of discharge accidents. To this end, a 3-D deep charging model of the insulation component of the electric brush plate was established, and the 3-D distribution of the electric field and potential of the insulation component of the electric brush plate was obtained. The time characteristics of deep dielectric charging of the electric brush plate were studied. After stopping electron irradiation, the electric brush plates remained at a potential of over 5 kV for a long time, posing a risk of discharge. The study investigated the effect of material composition on deep dielectric charging of electric brush plates, and the results showed that the electric brush plate with the highest conductivity, consisting of 60% YS<inline-formula> <tex-math>$20+30$ </tex-math></inline-formula>% ZnO +5% GF +5% POSS material, has the strongest electric charge bleed ability. Further based on the distribution of deep dielectric charging potential on the electric brush plate, the ME-268A flat charge meter was used to verify that the 60% YS<inline-formula> <tex-math>$20+30$ </tex-math></inline-formula>% ZnO +5% GF +5% POSS material composition electric brush plate has good charge transport characteristics and insulation performance, and the influence of electric brush state and electric brush distance on charging voltage was studied. The results indicate that insulation measures, such as increasing the installation distance of adjacent electric brushes, chamfering the electric brush ends, and coating the electric brushes with insulation coatings, can improve the electrostatic protection ability between adjacent electric brushes.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"52 11","pages":"5392-5401"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dCS and ELPF results illuminate detailed differences in energy loss across various materials and energy levels, showcasing the intricate nature of inelastic scattering. The IMFP results follow the same trend as the experimental and computational reference data in the high-energy band, with close values. The three inelastic scattering properties are affected by the ELF features, including the location of the peaks (ridges), the gradient in the direction of momentum, and the shift of the ridges. On this basis, this work also attempts to analyze the correlation between the calculated inelastic scattering properties and the secondary electron yield (SEY) and seeks to qualitatively analyze the differences in the secondary electron (SE) emission properties of various materials.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"52 11","pages":"5493-5504"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
