Delays will occur if power gain and loss curves do not initially cross when dropping to the low power state, or at the beginning of the power-on state. References [1] L. Liu, S. Sridhar, V. M.

Girshick Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN ([email protected]) Numerical models of nanodusty plasmas have been developed under Center support. These models provide numerical simulations of particle nucleation, surface growth, coagulation, charging and transport, self-consistently coupled to plasma behavior. Both 1-D [1-2] and 2-D [3] models have been developed, with a focus on formation of silicon particles in silane-containing RF plasmas. Additionally we have conducted numerical simulations of pulsed RF plasmas for producing controlled fluxes of nanoparticles to a substrate [4], have developed an analytical expression for particle charge distributions that accounts for single-particle charge limits [5], and have conducted Monte Carlo simulations to explore the combined effects of electron tunneling from nanoparticles and departures from orbital-motion-limited theory caused by charge-exchange collisions that occur close to the particle [6]. In recent work, we are developing a nanodusty plasma model based on the hybrid method of moments, which while being more approximate than sectional methods used in [1-4] will afford considerable reductions in computational expense.

  • Humidity Effects on Fragmentation in Plasma-Based Ambient Ionization Sources

Post-plasma ambient desorption/ionization (ADI) sources are fundamen- tally dependent on surrounding water vapor to produce protonated analyte ions. There are two reports of humidity effects on ADI spectra. However, it is unclear whether humidity will affect all ADI sources and analytes, and by what mechanism humidity affects spectra. Flowing atmospheric pressure afterglow (FAPA) ionization and direct analysis in real time (DART) mass spectra of various surface-deposited and gas-phase analytes were acquired at ambient temperature and pressure across a range of observed humidity values. A controlled humidity enclosure around the ion source and mass spectrometer inlet was used to create programmed humidity and temperatures. The relative abundance and fragmentation of molecular adduct ions for several compounds consistently varied with changing ambient humidity and also were controlled with the humidity enclosure. For several compounds, increasing humidity decreased protonated molecule and other molecular adduct ion fragmentation in both FAPA and DART spectra. For others, humidity increased fragment ion ratios.

Aqueous analytes were introduced by flow injection using a 20 μL injection loop at 250 μL/min water supplied by an HPLC pump (LC10AD, Shimadzu, Columbia, MD). The analyte stream was then mixed with 80 μL/min 10 mM aqueous NaOH solution supplied by a syringe pump (Model 100, KD Scientific, Holliston, MA). The mixed stream was then guided into a nebulizer (HEN-120, Meinhard, Golden, CO) operated at a constant argon flow rate of 1.25 L/min. The aerosols passed through a cyclonic spray chamber (Twister Cyclonic, Glass Expansion, Pocasset, MA) and were mixed with a makeup gas flow of 0.55-1.25 L/min using a tangential mixer (ML151008N, Meinhard, Golden, CO) to provide total aerosol gas flow rates of 1.8-2.5 L/min. The total aerosol gas flow was injected via a 1.5-mm injector into an Ar ICP sustained at 1100 W (14 L/min outer gas flow, 1.2 L/min auxiliary flow) using a stand-alone RF generator (Nexion 2000, PerkinElmer Inc., Waltham, MA) with the exhaust flow adjusted to produce 3.5 m/s air flow at the bottom intake of the torch box.

Many of these applications, however, require that the metal films are deposited uniformly on topographically complex surfaces and structures. Some form of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) where the deposition is governed by the surface chemistry is needed for uniform film deposition on topographically complex surfaces. Furthermore, area selective deposition (ASD) has gained large considerations lately, where films deposited only on specified areas of the substrate, and not on others, simplifies the processing significantly and opens the way for less complex fabrication of, for instance, nanoscaled electronics.

Lesniewski, M.S. Washington, D.C. February 5, 2021 Copyright 2021 by Joseph E. Lesniewski All Rights Reserved ii ENHANCED ELEMENTAL MASS SPECTROMETRY OF FLUORINE AND CHLORINE VIA CHEMICAL IONIZATION IN THE AFTERGLOW OF AN INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA Joseph E. Lesniewski, M.S. Thesis Advisor: Kaveh Jorabchi, Ph.D. ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for trace-level analysis of fluorinated and chlorinated compounds in complex samples due to their prevalence among pharmaceuticals and environmental and food contaminants. Importantly, elemental analysis offers major quantitation advantages in this area by alleviating the need for compound-specific standards. However, the current state-of- the-art elemental analysis method, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), faces fundamental limitations in sensitivity for F and Cl detection because the high ionization potentials of these elements reduce formation efficiencies of Cl+ and F+. In this dissertation, new ionization chemistries are reported to overcome the fundamental limitations of ICP-MS. In the new methods, solutions of analytes are introduced into an ICP as aerosols, producing common gas-phase Cl and F small molecules from analytes. These species are then ionized via ion-neutral reactions in the atmospheric-pressure plasma afterglow where plasma gasses cool significantly. Detection of chlorine as Cl- is demonstrated in one method with sensitivities twice as large as that of ICP-MS, highlighting the fundamental advantage of this approach.

  • Optical and Spectroscopic Study of a Supersonic Flowing Helium Plasma
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Optical and spectroscopic study of a supersonic fowing helium plasma: energy transport in the afterglow F. Brandi1*, L. Labate1,2*, D. Rapagnani3,4,5, R. Buompane5,7, A. di Leva6,7, L. Gialanella5,7 & L. A. Gizzi1,2 Flowing plasma jets are increasingly investigated and used for surface treatments, including biological matter, and as soft ionization sources for mass spectrometry. They have the characteristic capability to transport energy from the plasma excitation region to the fowing afterglow, and therefore to a distant application surface, in a controlled manner. The ability to transport and deposit energy into a specimen is related to the actual energy transport mechanism. In case of a fowing helium plasma, the energy in the fowing afterglow may be carried by metastable helium atoms and long-lived helium dimer ions. In this work a systematic investigation of the optical and spectroscopic characteristics of a supersonic fowing helium plasma in vacuum and its afterglow as function of the helium gas density is presented. The experimental data are compared with numerical modeling of the plasma excitation and helium dimer ion formation supported by a Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation of the helium jet. The results indicate that the plasma afterglow is efectively due to helium dimer ions recombination via a three-body reaction. Te study of noble gas fowing plasma has gained much attention in recent years due to its impact on the applica- tion of cold plasma jet and torches for sof ionization and mass spectrometry1–10. For a fowing helium plasma the dynamics of the energy transport in the aferglow is very complicated due to the peculiar helium plasma characteristics: presence of highly energetic metastable states and energetic excited states close to the ionization limit, as well as the prominent tendency, at increasing particle density, to form helium dimer ions11,12.

A maximum deposition rate of 120 ± 12 Å min−1 was recorded at a substrate temperature of 450˚C, 6.3 Torr H2, 0.3 Torr SiH4, 778 Torr He, 32.8 W cm−3, and an electrode-to-substrate spacing of 6.0 mm. The deposition rate increased rapidly with the silane and hydrogen partial pressures, up to 0.1 and 7.0 Torr, respectively, then remained constant thereafter. By contrast, the deposition rate decreased exponentially as the electrode-to-substrate distance was increased from 5.0 to 10.5 mm. The total hydrogen content of the films ranged from 2.5 to 8.0 ± 1.0 at%. These results together with a model of the plasma chemistry indicate that H atoms and SiH3 radicals play an important role in the deposition process.
