Technical Field

Background
The fourth state of the plasma, called a substance, is a mixed gas which is composed of charged particles such as electrons and ions and neutral particles (atoms, molecules, particles, etc.), macroscopically shows quasi-neutrality, and has a collective effect.
The plasma is typically generated by heating a gas, and discharging the gas. The gas may be partially ionized or fully ionized during heating, i.e., the outer electrons of the atoms may break away from the confinement of the nuclei into free electrons, while the atoms losing the outer electrons become charged ions. When the proportion of charged particles exceeds a certain level, the ionized gas exhibits significant electromagnetic properties.
Plasma sources, as the name implies, are devices that produce plasma, typically using electrode discharge to ionize a working fluid gas to produce plasma or by wave heating electrons to strike a neutral working fluid gas to produce a discharge. The low-temperature plasma sources commonly used in laboratories are rich in variety, and the action mechanisms of different plasma sources are different. Common low temperature plasma sources are the following: (1) And D.C. discharging, in which two metal electrodes are inserted into the low-pressure gas and a DC voltage is applied, and when the voltage is increased to a certain value, the gas is found to conduct electricity and emit light. (2) Alternating current discharge, when an alternating current electric field is applied to two electrodes of a discharge tube, each electrode alternately becomes an anode or a cathode. If the voltage applied in the half period exceeds the breakdown voltage, an ac discharge is obtained.

(4) A Helicon wave plasma source (HWP: helicon-WAVE PLASMA) couples energy to Helicon wave through an antenna by an external radio frequency power supply, and the Helicon wave propagates the energy to electrons by Lang damping, thereby generating a stable discharge phenomenon. (5) A radio frequency capacitively coupled plasma source (CCP: CAPATIVELY COUPLED PLASMA) is provided with a radio frequency power supply connected to two capacitor plates, an oscillating electric field is generated between the two plates, electrons are accelerated in the oscillating electric field, and the electrons continuously strike neutral particles to form an electron avalanche effect, so that discharge is stabilized.
