Effective potentials for ion-ion and charge-atom interactions of dense semiclassical plasma

Using the dielectric function method, the effective interaction potential between ions in a dense semiclassical plasma is investigated. For the case of a partially ionized strongly coupled plasma, the effective potential of charge-unperturbed atom interaction is presented. Both effective potentials are screened. To obtain these potentials the dielectric function is used, taking into account the quantum diffraction effects in electron-electron interactions.

Interaction between ions in hot dense plasma via screened Cornell potential

Hot dense plasma with non-ideal ions and weakly coupled electrons is studied analytically in the framework of the random phase approximation. It is shown that at some plasma parameters ions interact by a screened Cornell potential. The reduction in the transport coefficients due to the localization of the electron around the ion is predicted. This prediction is confirmed by the molecular dynamics simulation of the one-component ion plasmainteracting via the obtained screened Cornell type potential.

Multipole expansion in plasmas: Effective interaction potentials between compound particles

In this paper, the multipole expansion method is used to determine effective interaction potentials between particles in both classical dusty plasma and dense quantum plasma. In particular, formulas for interactions of dipole-dipole and charge-dipole pairs in a classical nondegenerate plasma as well as in degenerate quantum and semiclassical plasmas were derived. The potentials describe interactions between atoms, atoms and charged particles, dust particles in the complex plasma, atoms and electrons in the degenerate plasma, and metals. Correctness of the results obtained from the multipole expansion is confirmed by their agreement with the results based on other methods of statistical physics and dielectric response function. It is shown that the method of multipole expansion can be used to derive effective interaction potentials of compound particles, if the effect of the medium on the potential of individual particles comprising compound particles is known.

Thermodynamic and dynamical properties of dense ICF plasma

Abstract In present work, thermodynamic expressions were obtained through potentials that took into consideration long-range many-particle screening effects as well as short-range quantum-mechanical effects and radial distribution functions (RDFs). Stopping power of the projectile ions in dense, non-isothermal plasma was considered. One of the important values that describe the stopping power of the ions in plasma is the Coulomb logarithm. We investigated the stopping power of ions in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) plasma and other energetic characteristics of fuel. Calculations of ions energy losses in the plasma for different values of the temperature and plasma density were carried out. A comparison of the calculated data of ion stopping power and energy deposition with experimental and theoretical results of other authors was also performed.

Equation of state of a dense plasma: Analytical results on the basis of quantum pair interaction potentials in the random phase approximation

In this work, using recently obtained expansion of the dielectric function in the long wave length limit by Moldabekov et al (2015 Phys. Plasmas 22 102104), we extended previously obtained formulas for the equation of state of the semiclassical dense plasma from Ramazanov et al (2015 Phys. Rev. E 92 023104) to the quantum case. Inner energy and contribution to the pressure due to plasma non-ideality derived for both Coulomb pair interaction and quantum pair interaction potentials. Obtained analytical result for the equation of state reproduces the Montroll-Ward contribution, which corresponds to the quantum ring sum. It was shown that the obtained results are consistent with the Thomas-Fermi approximation with the first order gradient correction. Additionally, the generalization of the quantum Deutsch potential to the case of the degenerate electrons is discussed. Obtained results will be useful for understanding of the physics of dense plasmas as well as for further development of the dense plasma simulation on the basis of the quantum potentials.

The method of synthesizing of superhydrophobic surfaces by PECVD

The aim of this work was to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces in a plasma medium. The experiment was carried out using the PECVD method in two different modes: constant and pulsing. The surface roughness was obtained by applying nanoparticles synthesized in plasma in a mixture of argon and methane. The resulting particles were deposited on the surface of silicon and glass materials. The contact angle increased linearly depending on the number of cycles, until it reached 160° at 150-160th cycles, after that the increase in cycles does not affect the contact angle, since the saturation process is in progress. Also the effect of the working gas composition on the hydrophobicity of the surface was studied. At low concentrations of methane (1%) only particles are synthesized in the working gas, and hydrophobicity is unstable, with an increase in methane concentration (7%) nanofilms are synthesized from nanoclusters, and surface hydrophobicity is relatively stable. In addition, a pulsing plasma mode was used to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces. The hydrophobicity of the sample showed that the strength of the nanofilm was stable in comparison with the sample obtained in the first mode, but the contact angle was lower. The obtained samples were examined using SEM, SPM, optical analysis, and their contact angles were determined.

Formalism of compound particles for simulation of the heavy ions in a stationary nonequilibrium warm dense matter

The screened interaction potential between two compound particles, compound particle and charged particle (ion or electron) in multipole approximation for simulation of nonequilibrium warm dense matter are discussed. The density and temperature range has been considered at which the formalism of compound particles can be used. It is proposed that the presented screened potential can be useful for the simulation of the heavy ions in the presence of streaming electrons. Discussions about the implication of a compound particle picture for consideration of the dynamics of the beam of the charged particles in plasmas are given. The proposed model of interaction between heavy ions consists of dipole terms and the short range repulsion due to the Pauli exclusion principle.

Synthesis of Microparticles With Narrow Size Distribution in the Plasma of Arc and Radio-Frequency Discharges

Today, the technologies used to produce monodisperse microparticles are very expensive. Due to the wide application of monodisperse/small-dispersed microparticles in various areas of industries, their high cost, and in order to contribute to the decrease in their prime cost, we have developed a new method of production of the small-dispersed/monodisperse microparticles in the plasma of the combined radio-frequency (RF) and (dc/ac) arc discharges. The advantage of the proposed method is the production of the small-dispersed/monodisperse microparticles in the range of 1-50 μm. The dispersivity and the average size (diameter) of the small-dispersed microparticles are easily controlled by varying the parameters of the RF discharge.

Dynamical Properties And Interaction Models Of Dusty Particles In Complex Plasma

A new method for determination of macroparticle charge in dc glow discharge plasma is described. The inverse problem of the estimation of the particles charge on the basis of its videotaped trajectory around the electric probe was solved. The effective interaction potentials in a complex dusty plasma are discussed.

Effective Interaction Potentials and Physical Properties of Complex Plasmas

Microscopic, thermodynamic and transport properties of complex plasmas are investigated on the basis of effective potentials of interparticle interaction. These potentials take into account correlation effects and quantum‐mechanical diffraction. Plasma composition, thermodynamic functions of hydrogen and helium plasmas are obtained for a wide region of coupling parameter. Collision processes in partially ionized plasma are considered; some kinetic characteristics such as phase shift, scattering cross section, bremsstrahlung cross section and absorption coefficient are investigated. Dynamic and transport properties of dusty plasma are studied by computer simulation method of the Langevin dynamics.
