The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) is the largest non-university institute in the field of low temperature plasmas, their basics and technical applications in Europe. The institute carries out research and development from idea to prototype. The topics focus on the needs of the market. At present, plasmas for materials and energy as well as for environment and health are the focus of interest.

Correlation of helicality and rotation frequency of filaments in the ntAPPJ

Materials / Surfaces

The self-organized behaviour (locked mode) of filaments in the non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet (ntAPPJ) couples a spatial patterning of the discharge (helical symmetry) and a regular motion (steady rotation). The dataset represents the mean rotation frequency of filaments in the capillary with a diameter of 4 mm and the corresponding geometric characteristics: helicality and/or filament inclination angles were measured along with the gas temperature under varying discharge conditions (electric power and argon flow rate).

Plasma Diagnostics Properties

The filament behaviour has been visualized optically by means of imaging. The LSD set-up consists of a He-Ne laser (Linos) and a high-speed CMOS camera (Photon Focus). The image sensor has 1312×1082 pixels, pixel size 8 µm. The laser beam is classified as 3 A, 632.82 nm, cw. The output power of the laser is 0.6 W. The laser beam is specified by the spot diameter of 490 µm and beam divergence of 1.7 mrad. The parameters of the beam enable to characterize filament structures with diameters down to approx. 100 µm.
Plasma Diagnostics Procedure

The displacement of the laser spot on the image sensor of the camera is monitored directly. The laser beam is led perpendicular through the effluent region, close to the nozzle of the capillary (z = 0 mm). The output power of the laser is sufficiently low to avert any influence of the beam on the properties of the plasma jet. Deflection of the laser beam due to refraction in the gradient field of the refractive index is recorded at a distance of 80.6 cm from the plasma jet at 10 kHz sample frequency.
