Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of isotope detection, and in particular to a hydrogen and helium isotope online analysis device and method based on time of flight. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogen isotopes H-1, D-2, T-3 and helium isotopes He-3, He-4 are important nuclides for nuclear fusion, nuclear materials and nuclear environment analysis. The development and application of hydrogen and helium isotope online analysis technology is of great significance to the above research. The present invention is an online analysis device for hydrogen and helium isotope spectrum based on time of flight.
[0003] The flight time (t) of the ions is determined by the following formula:
[0004]
[0005] Where d is the flight distance, M is the mass of the ion, and E is the energy of the ion. It can be seen that the mass and energy of the ion are related to the flight time of the ion. For ions of the same energy, nuclides of different masses have different flight times at the same distance, so the time-of-flight method can be used to distinguish nuclides of different masses. However, for T-3 and He-3 among hydrogen and helium isotopes, their masses are very close, and the mass difference is less than one hundred thousandth, so the time-of-flight method cannot be used directly to analyze hydrogen and helium isotopes. At the same time 3 He is a decay product of T, and materials containing tritium must contain He-3. Therefore, this is a difficult point in the analysis of hydrogen and helium isotopes. The present invention invents an analysis technology based on thin film energy absorption combined with time-of-flight measurement, which uses the different energy losses of T-3 and He-3 after passing through the thin film to make the flight time of the two different at the same distance, thereby achieving the identification of T-3 and He-3. At the same time, H-1, D-2 and He-4 can be analyzed using flight time due to their different masses, so the time-of-flight technology can be used to achieve the analysis of hydrogen and helium isotopes. Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a hydrogen and helium isotope online analysis device based on time of flight. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0041] The present invention provides a time-of-flight-based hydrogen and helium isotope online analysis device, which includes a cavity, a laser, and a stand, an extraction electrode, a film, a slit, and a detector arranged in the cavity. The cavity is externally connected to a vacuum pump to make the cavity in a vacuum; the laser uses pulsed laser to pass through an incident window arranged on the cavity to ionize hydrogen and helium isotopes on the stand into hydrogen positive ions and helium positive ions, and uses the pulsed laser emission time as the starting time signal of the time-of-flight detection system, and extracts hydrogen positive ions and helium positive ions through the electric field between the stand and the extraction electrode and accelerates them to appropriate energy. The hydrogen positive ions and helium positive ions pass through the film and the slit, and are measured by the detector and give a stop time signal of the time-of-flight detection system; the time-of-flight detection system is used to obtain a time-of-flight spectrum through a time-amplitude conversion system to achieve online analysis of the hydrogen and helium isotope contents. The specific technical scheme is as follows:
[0042] The invention discloses a hydrogen and helium isotope online analysis device based on time of flight. Figure 1 The structure shown in the figure is composed of laser, stand, extraction electrode, film, slit, detector and other parts. The whole part is in the vacuum chamber, and the external vacuum pump is connected to make the system in a vacuum environment. The sample can be either a solid sample or a gas sample (the gas sample is ejected through the microporous tube).
[0043] The stand, the lead-out electrode, the film, the slit and the detector are sequentially arranged in the cavity along the axis.
[0044] A sample containing hydrogen and helium isotopes is placed on a high-voltage stand with a voltage of about +50KV. The laser uses pulsed laser to act on the sample through the incident window set on the cavity and ionize the sample into hydrogen positive ions and helium positive ions. At the same time, the pulsed laser emission time is used as the starting time signal of the time-of-flight detection system.
[0045] Using MgF 2 Or borosilicate glass as the laser incident window can enhance the laser transmittance.
[0046] The stand on which the sample is placed is an insulating stand that can withstand a voltage of 50KV. A grid-shaped pre-lead electrode is provided between the sample and the lead-out electrode, close to the sample. The voltage of the pre-lead-out electrode is about 1KV lower than the positive high voltage of the stand.
[0047] The extraction electrode adopts an "eight" shaped structure, and the electrodes gradually approach each other along the direction of ion movement. The voltage of the extraction electrode is set to 0V, and the potential difference between the high-voltage stand containing the hydrogen and helium isotope samples and the extraction electrode is used to extract the positive hydrogen ions and helium ions generated by ionization and accelerate them to an energy of about 50KeV. By matching the voltage between the pre-extraction electrode and the extraction electrode, the positive ions can be accelerated and extracted on the one hand, and focused on the other hand.
[0048] A silicon nitride film with very good thickness uniformity is used as an energy absorption film. Considering the requirements for ion energy loss, the thickness of the silicon nitride film used is 30nm. The accelerated hydrogen ions and helium ions pass through the 30nm thick silicon nitride film. Based on the different energy loss rates of hydrogen isotopes and helium isotopes penetrating the film, H, D, T and helium isotopes He-3 and He-4 have different residual energies. The most critical thing is that the energy difference between tritium and He-3 when passing through the silicon nitride film reaches 4KeV (the residual energy of He-3 is 42KeV, and the residual energy of T is 46KeV), so that the energy difference between tritium and He-3 at this time reaches about 9%, which is enough to ensure the use of time-of-flight technology to achieve the distinction between tritium and He-3. The residual energy of tritium is greater than that of He-3. The flight time of tritium is less than that of He-3 through the same distance. The flight time spectra of tritium and He-3 are different, thereby achieving the distinction between tritium and He-3.
[0049] In order to effectively realize the identification of ions by time-of-flight technology and the flexibility of detector use, the flight distance of ions is about 50 cm. In order to improve the identification ability of time-of-flight, a microchannel plate with a fast rise time is used to measure ions. The positive hydrogen ions and helium ions after passing through the film are finally measured by the microchannel plate 50 cm away from the film and give the stop time signal of the time-of-flight detection system. In order to eliminate the interference of stray particles and improve the time resolution ability, a circular slit with a diameter of about 5 mm is set in front of the microchannel detector.
[0050] The time-of-flight detection system uses the start time triggered by the laser and the stop time signal measured by the microchannel plate detector. These two signals form the time-of-flight detection system. The measured start time signal and stop time signal are sent to a hardware device (time-to-amplitude converter) that can realize time-to-amplitude conversion. This device can convert the flight time of the ion into a voltage amplitude signal (that is, the longer the flight time, the higher the voltage signal generated, and they are proportional). Then, the amplitude data conversion hardware (ADC) and the supporting analysis software can be used to measure the flight time spectrum. Since the mass or energy of H-1, H-2, H-3, He-3, etc. are different, their flight time is also different, so they are in different positions on the flight time spectrum. The different flight times of hydrogen and helium isotopes in the flight time spectrum can realize the online analysis of the hydrogen and helium isotope content in the sample.
[0051] The method for online analysis of hydrogen and helium isotopes based on time of flight comprises the following steps:
[0052] Step 1, placing a sample containing hydrogen and helium isotopes on a stand;
[0053] Step 2, using a pulsed laser to act on a sample containing hydrogen and helium isotopes and ionize the sample into hydrogen positive ions and helium positive ions, and using the pulsed laser emission time as a start time signal of a time-of-flight detection system;
[0054] Step 3, using the electric field between the gantry and the extraction electrode to extract the positive hydrogen ions and the positive helium ions and accelerate them to appropriate energy;
[0055] Step 4, using the film as an energy absorption membrane to allow hydrogen ions and helium ions to pass through the film;
[0056] Step 5: In order to eliminate the interference of stray particles and improve the time resolution, the positive hydrogen ions and the positive helium ions are allowed to pass through the slit;
[0057] Step 6, a detector at an appropriate distance from the film is used to measure and provide a stop time signal of the time-of-flight detection system;
[0058] Step 7, using the time-of-flight detection system to obtain a time-of-flight spectrum through a time-amplitude conversion system, and realizing online analysis of the hydrogen and helium isotope contents by using the different flight times of hydrogen and helium isotopes in the time-of-flight spectrum.
