Here, as a powerful plasma rocket to make a heavy ship get out from the gravity-sphere of the earth without relying on an atomic power rocket, an ion-velocity booster is investigated. It is a main challenge how to protect the engine wall from the melting due to collisions of ions which grow into high-energy particles.展开更多

The results show that the averaged dposited energy decreases with the increase of the ion-velocity, and incident ions of 2~9Bi have a wider distribution of energy deposition than 132Xe at the same ion-velocity. Additionally, the traversed time presents an obvious decreasing trend with the increase of ion-velocity. Concurrently, ion-velocity certainly has an influence on the current pulse and then it presents a particular regularity. The detailed discussion is conducted to estimate the relevant linear energy transfer （LET） of incident ions and the SEU cross section of the testing device from experiment and simulation and to critically consider the metric of LET.展开更多

The speed and angular distributions have been derived from the velocity map images of Br and Br^＊. The speed distributions of Br and Br^＊ atoms in the photodis- sociation of 2-bromobutane at -265 nm can be fitted using only one Gaussian function indicating that bromine fragments were produced via direct dissociation of C-Br bond. The contributions of the excited 3^Q0, 3Q1, and 1^Q1 states to the products （Br and Br^＊） were discussed. It is found that the nonadiabatic 1^Q1←3^Q0 transition plays an important role for Br photofragment in the dissociation of 2-C4HgBr at -265 nm. Relative quantum yield of 0.621 for Br（2P3/2） at -265 nm in the photodissociation of 2-bromobutane is derived. By comparing the photodissociation of 2-C4H9Br at -265 nm and that that at-234 nm, the anisotropy parameter β（Br） and β（Br^＊）, and relative quantum yield Ф（Br） decrease with increasing wavelength, the probability of curve crossing between 3 ^Q0 and 1^Q1 decreases with increasing laser wavelength.展开更多

The CH3 fragments have been probed via （2＋1） resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. Images are measured for CH3 formed in the ground and excited states （v2=0 and 1） of the umbrella vibrational mode. For acetaldehyde dissociation on T1 state after intersystem crossing from S1 state, the products are formed with high translational energy release and low internal excitation. The rotational and vibrational energy of both fragments increases with increasing photodissociation energy. The triplet barrier height is estimated at 3.8814-0.006 eV above the ground state of acetaldehyde.展开更多

The mapped images of Br（2P3/2） （denoted as Br） and Br（2p1/2） （denoted as Br＊） fragments were analyzed by means of the speed and angular distributions, respectively. The speed distributions can be fitted with two Gaussian components which are correlated to the two independent reaction paths on the excited po- tential energy surfaces （PES）. The high-energy component is from the prompt dissociation along the C-Br stretching mode, while the low-energy one is related to the dissociation from the coupling of the C-Br stretching and bending modes. Relative quantum yield is measured to be 0.892 for Br in the photodissociation of 2-bromopentane at 234 nm. Combining the anisotropy parameter with the relative quantum yield of Br and Br fragments, the contributions of the excited 3Q0, 3Q1, and 1Q1 states to the products Br and Br were derived. The effect of alkyl branching on the mechanism of photodissociation was discussed by comparing the photodissociation processes of four isomers of bromopentane.展开更多

The speed and angular distribution of Br and Br＊ fragments were determined from the map images. The two Gaussian components, shown in the speed dis- tributions of Br and Br＊ atoms, are suggested to attribute to the two independent reaction paths of photodissociation for 2-bromobutane at 233.62 and 233.95 nm. The high-energy component is related to the prompt dissociation along the C-Br stretching mode, and the low-energy component to the dissociation from the repulsive mode with bending and C-Br stretching combination. The contributions of the excited 3Q0, 3Q1, and 1Q1 states to the products （Br and Br＊） were discussed. Relative quantum yield of 0.924 for Br（2P3/2） at about 234 nm in the photodissociation of 2-bromobutane is derived.展开更多

By creating physical models for the wall sheath region and adopting two-dimensional particle in cell simulation method, this work aims to investigate the effects of magnitude and direction of magnetic field and ion velocity on the plasma sheath characteristics. The simulation results show that magnetic field magnitudes have small impact on the sheath potential and the secondary electron emission coefficient, magnetic azimuth between the magnetic field direction and the channel radial direction is proportional to the absolute value of the sheath potential, but inversely proportional to the secondary electron emission coefficient. With the increase of the ion incident velocity, secondary electron emission coefficient is enhanced, however, electron density number, sheath potential and radial electric field are decreased. When the boundary condition is determined, with an increase of the sinmlation area radial scale, the sheath potential oscillation is aggravated, and the stability of the sheath is reduced.展开更多
