Abstract

Most previous works about magnetic effect on plasma emission were interested in emission enhancement which was useful to various fields of plasma application. On the contrary, the following work is interested in plasma dissipation rarely reported in prior researches and expected to help advance plasma-controlling technique. Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm, 6 ns) was focused on three kinds of metals (Al, Ti and STS) and air. The permanent magnetic field (0.4 T) of Nd2Fe14B magnet was provided passing throughout laser-induced plasma. The spectra of plasma in both the presence and absence of the magnetic field were observed with varying laser power and delay time of the spectrograph. In this work it was uniquely discovered that the plasma always dissipated easily in the presence of magnetic field irrespective of the laser power. With the O I(777.42 nm)-line shape function fitted to Lorentz profile, its half width at half maximum (HWHM) was evaluated to verify that the magnetic field increased the plasma density. It is concluded that magnetic field facilitates not only plasma emission enhancement but also plasma dissipation, increasing recombination rate which is proportional to plasma density.

간단한 자기장 감금이 레이저 유도 플라즈마의 전하 입자들에 미치는 영향이 논의 되었다. 자기장 영향에 대한 이전 연구들은 주로 플라즈마 방전 세기의 향상이나 수명시간 연장에 집중되었다. 이와 대조적으로, 본 개발은 과거에 거의 다뤄지지 않았던, 플라즈마 소멸에 대해 연구하였다. 이는 플라즈마를 활용한 기술개발에 혁신적인 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다. Nd:YAG 레이저(1064 nm, 6 ns)가 3가지 타입의 금속 물질(Al, Ti, STS)과 공기 중에 집광되었다. Nd2Fe14B 자석으로 0.4T 크기의 자기장을 만들었고, 이를 레이저 유도 플라즈마에 관통시켰다. 플라즈마 스펙트럼은 레이저 파워와 분광기의 딜레이 타임을 조정해 가면서 자기장 여부에 따른 수치가 측정되었다. O I(777.42 nm), Fe I (520.447 nm), Ti I (503.649 nm), Al I (396.147 nm) 스펙트럼 분석을 통해 자기장에 의한 플라즈마의 소멸이 특정 조건에 상관없이 항상 촉진됨을 독점적으로 발견하였다.
