Spatio-Temporal Plasma Afterglow Induces Additional Neutral Drag Force on Microparticles

Abstract: An emerging topic in complex plasma physics is the interaction between dust particles and afterglow plasmas. Control of plasma-particle interactions and specifically of the particle trajectories is especially relevant for plasma based contamination control applications. In systems where this contamination control is relevant, emerging or applied plasmas can be of highly transient nature, due to which contaminating particles interact with a combination of a spatial and a temporal afterglow plasma. Until now thi… Show more

“…In absence of otherplasma-induced and electric field relatedforces (verified, see [19]), the vertical velocity of the particles through the gas in the glass tube, i.e. the settling velocity with which the particles travels in a laminar flow (as is the case in these experiments), is determined by two competing forces; the gravitational force and the neutral drag force.…”

“…Several other experiments have also been performed to understand the afterglow physics on particle charging, such as the effect of an external electric field on microparticle charge distribution [22], spontaneous dust pulse formation under microgravity [23], impact of the initial particle cloud configuration/shape on cloud dynamics (simple Coulomb expansion to more complex behaviors, such as Coulomb fission) [24,25]. In recent times, the dust response to the afterglow (both temporal and spatial) plasma has gained attention [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. In the case of 20 µs pulsed EUV environment in lithography machines, the afterglow physics with nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium conditions is fundamentally different from those mentioned above.…”
