Spatiotemporal Behavior of Excited Xenon-Atom Density in Accordance With Xenon Mole Fraction to Neon in Alternating-Current Plasma Display Panels by Laser-Absorption Spectroscopy

Abstract

In this paper, spatiotemporal behavior of the excited Xe-atom density of 1s 5 metastable state was investigated by laser-absorption spectroscopy in alternating-current plasma display panel in accordance with the Xe mole fraction to Ne, which can be connected to the relative luminous efficiency over all spaces in a discharge cell. The various test panels with Xe mole fractions of 4%, 7%, 10%, and 15% to Ne have been used in this paper, in which discharge cell with T-typed indium-tin-oxide electrode and closed-barrier rib has been adopted. In this paper, the density of metastable state for the excited Xe atom is found to increase slowly beyond the Xe mole fraction of 10%. It is also accordingly noted that the luminous efficiency increases slowly beyond the Xe mole fraction of 10%, which is similar to that of the density of the excited Xe atoms in the metastable state in this paper.Index Terms-Excited Xe-atom density, laser-absorption spectroscopy, metastable state, plasma display panels (PDPs), Xe mole fraction.

Evaluation of non-thermal plasma-induced anticancer effects on human colon cancer cells

“…Non-thermal atmospheric pressure dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) plasma is one of the most suitable candidates for use as a bio-medical device [4]. In the recent years, DBD was mainly used for alternating-current plasma display panels (AC-PDPs) with micro-gap electrodes (a few tens to a few hundreds of micrometers) [5]. Many plasma researchers have focused on the optimization of different aspects of AC-PDPs, such as the electrode structure, gas pressure, and mixing conditions of rare gases [5].…”
