The atmospheric pressure plasma is regarded as an effective method for surface treatments because it can reduce the period of process and doesn't need expensive vacuum apparatus. The performance of non-transferred plasma torches is significantly depended on jet flow characteristics out of the nozzle. In order to produce the high performance of a torch, the maximum discharge velocity near an annular gap in the torch should be maintained. Also, the compulsory swirl is being produced to gain the shape that can concentrate the plasma at the center of gas flow. In this work, the distribution of gas flow that goes out to atmosphere through a plenum chamber and nozzle is analyzed to evaluate the performance of atmospheric pressure plasma torch which can present the optimum design of the torch. Numerical analysis is carried out with various angles of an inlet flow velocity. Especially, three-dimensional model of the torch is investigated to estimate swirl effect. We also investigate the stabilization of plasma distribution. For analyzing the swirl in the plenum chamber and the flow distribution, FVM (finite volume method) and SIMPLE algorithm are used for solving the governing equations. The standard k-model is used for simulating the turbulence.

A low energy large aperture(LELA) pulsed electron beam generator of a cold cathode type has been developed for environmental applications, for example, waste water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization etc. The operational principle is based on the emission of secondary electrons from cold cathode when ions in the plasma hit the cathode, which are accelerated toward exit window by the gradient of an electric potential. We have fabricated the LELA electron beam generator with the peak energy of 200keV and beam diameter of 200mm and obtained the large aperture electron beam in air. The electron beam current density has been investigated as a function of glow discharge current, accelerating voltage and radial distribution in front of the exit window foil. The plasma density and electron temperature have been measured in order to confirm the relation with the electron beam current density. We are going to upgrade the LELA electron beam generator in the electron energy, electron beam current and stability of operation for various applications.

Various plasma instabilities driven by the ion beams have been proposed in order to explain the broadband electrostatic noise (BEN) in the earth's geomagnetic tail. Ion acoustic, ion-ion two stream, and electron acoustic instabilities have been proposed. Here we consider a theoretical investigation of the generation of BEN by cold streaming ion beams in the earth's magnetotail. Linear theory analysis and particle simulation studies for the plasma sheet, which consists of warm electrons and ions as well as cold streaming ion beams, have been done. Both beam-ion acoustic and ion-ion two stream instabilities easily occur when the beam and warm electron temperature ratio, $T_b/T_e$ is small enough. The numerical simulation results confirm the existence of broadband electrostatic noise whose frequency is ranged from $\omega$=0 to $\omega$$\omega_{pe}$.

We investigate several eruptive hot plasma observations by Hinode/XRT. Their corresponding EUV and/or white light CME features are visible in some events. Using those observations, we determine the mass constraints of eruptive plasma by assuming simplified geometrical structures of the plasma. In some events, their associated prominence eruptions and eruptive plasma were observed in EUV observations as absorption or emission features. The absorption feature provides the lower limit to the cold mass while the emission feature provides the upper limit to the mass of observed eruptive plasma in X-ray and EUV passbands. We compare the mass constraints for each temperature responses and find that the mass in EUV and XRT are smaller in their upper or lower limit than total mass in coronagraph. About half eruptive events in XRT have no corresponding CME, which may be due to failed eruptions or low plasma density. In addition, some events were observed by a few passbands in X-ray, which allows the determination of the eruptive plasma temperature using a filter ratio method. We present the isothermal plasma temperatures by the filter ratio method. These are possibly an average temperature for higher temperature plasma because the XRT is more sensitive in higher temperature.

직경 5 cm cold hollow cathode 이온원을 박막의 이온보조증착법 또는 이온보조반응법에 사용하기에 적합한 이온빔으로 넓은 면적을 균일하게 조사할 수 있는 이온원을 설계, 제작하기 위한 방안으로 연구하게 되었다. 이온원은 글로우 방전을 위한 음극과 이온화 효율의 증가를 위한 자석, 플라즈마 챔버, 그리드 전극으로 이루어진 이온광학시스템, 직류전원공급장치로 이루어진다. 전자인출전극의 구조 및 형태로 구분하여 한개의 노즐로 이루어진 (I) 형태와 복수개의 노즐로 변형된 (II) 형태로 제작하였다. 서로 다른 구조의 전자인출전극 (I)형태와 (II) 형태를 부착한 이온원에 beam profile을 측정한 결과 (I) 형태의 전자인출전극을 부착한 경우에는 이온원의 중심에서 140 $\mu\textrm{A}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$으로 측정되어 졌으며, 외곽으로 멀어질수록 급격히 전류밀도가 감소하여 균일한 영역(최대값의 90%)은 직경 5 cm로 측정되어졌다. (II) 형태로 변형되어진 이온원의 경우 중심에서 65 $\mu\textrm{A}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$으로 (I) 형태와 비교하여 상대적으로 낮은 전류밀도가 측정되었지만 외각으로 멀어졌을 경우에도 전류밀도는 완만하게 감소하여 균일한 영역은 직경 20 cm로 측정되었으며, 본 연구목적에 부합되는 특성이 측정되었다. 이온빔 균일도가 증가한 (II) 형태의 전자인출전극을 부착한 이온원으로 주입하는 아르곤 가스량의 변화, 이온광학시스템의 플라즈마 그리드 전극과 가속 그리드 전극 간격의 조절, 이온빔 에너지 변화에 따른 beam profile 및 특성을 괸찰하였다.

Recently plasma surface-cleaning or surface-etching techniques have been focused in the respect of decontamination of spent or used nuclear parts and equipment. In this study decontamination rate of metallic cobalt surface was experimentally investigated via its surface etching rate with a $CF_4-O_2$ mixed gas plasma and metallic surface wastes of cobalt oxides were simulated and decontaminated with $NF_3$ - Ar mixed gas plasma. Experimental results revealed that a mixed etchant gas with about $80{\%}\;CF_4-20{\%}\;O_2$ gives the highest reaction rate of cobalt disk and the rate reaches with a negative 300 DC bias voltage up to $0.43\;{\mu}m$/min at $380^{\circ}C$ and $20{\%}\;NF_3-80\%$ Ar mixed gas gives $0.2\;{\mu}m$/min of reaction rate of cobalt oxide film.

Nonlinear dynamical behaviors in thermionic low pressure discharge are investigated using a particle-in-cell(PIC) simulation. An electrostatic PIC code is developed to model the plasma discharge system including the kinetic effects. The elastic collision, excitation collision, ionization collision, and electron-ion recombination collision are considered in this code. The generated electrons and ions are traced to analyze physical characteristics of the plasma. The simulation results show that the nonlinear oscillation structures are observed for cold plasma in the system and the similar structures are observed for warm plasma with a shift in values of the bifurcation parameter. The detailed oscillation process can be subdivided into three distinct mode; anode-glow, temperature-limited, and double-layer modes.

A new possibility of our atmospheric cold plasma torch has been examined on the surface treatment of an air-exposed vulcanized rubber compound. The plasma treatment effect was evaluated by the bondability with another rubber compound using a polyurethane adhesive. The adhesion property was improved by the treatment with plasma containing oxygen radicals. The oxygen radical generation from the plasma was verified and its efficiency was found to be dependent on the cathode material.
