Zirconium carbide (ZrC) is promising candidate materials in advanced nuclear reactors as fuel cladding and plasma facing materials. It can employ to increase ductility and fracture toughness of tungsten as prominent candidate of plasma facing materials in ITER and DEMO future fusion reactors. In this study, ZrC thin films were deposited through DC magnetron sputtering […]
AbstractIn this paper, we have presented a new power supply structure for ozone generation in a dielectric barrier discharge reactor, so that a high-frequency pulse electric field is applied on the reactor simultaneously with a low-frequency sinusoidal electric field, referred as mixed electric field. In this study, the effect of mixed electric field variation on […]
AbstractThe main objective of the current paper is to describe the effect of external inductance (EI) on the current discharge waveforms of HiPIMS at different pulse-on time (Pon) and its relation with static deposition rate and topographical properties of deposited titanium thin films, which is investigated by scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope. It […]
In this paper, we present a new structure of applying two electrical power supplies to generate ionic wind. In this configuration, two power supplies were applied simultaneously with a modulated voltage to an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) system then corona discharge parameters and EHD thrust characterization was investigated by a corona dryer mechanism. The EHD thrust experiments […]
In this paper, the design, performance and characterization of a low temperature argon plasma jet with a Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge (SDBD)-like structure are presented. Based on this structure, the argon plasma jet is generated in a SDBD-like structure with a mixed electric field. SDBD-like structure, refers to the plasma jet generated by the surface […]
