Electromagnetic systems with double-resonant spiral coil components

Spiral coils generate very powerful electromagnetic fields by operating with two different but simultaneous resonant behaviors. Quarter-wave resonance is established by adjusting the frequency (and wavelength) of a radiofrequency (RF) voltage source until the length of the spiral conductor is equal to ¼ of the wavelength of the alternating voltage. This generates an electromagnetic standing wave with at least one peak node and at least one null node. Inductive-capacitive (L / C) resonance is established by optimizing the thickness and width of the wire ribbon used to make the spiral coil. When inductance and capacitance are balanced, the current response will synchronize with the voltage input, creating in-phase behavior, minimal total impedance, and maximal power output. If two such coils are placed near each other, they will create an extremely powerful electromagnetic field between them, which can promote chemical and plasma reactions involving charged particles such as ions or plasma particles, possibly including nuclear fusion reactions.

An antenna assembly for forming a barrier coating on the inner surface of a tube by means of a sealed annular chemical-plasma-reaction chamber defined by the inner wall of the tube, two spaced elements slidingly and sealingly moveable inside the tube, and a quartz tube that interconnects the cylindrical elements. The coating is formed by a PE CVD process generated inside the chamber by a transversal RF antenna unit which creates a plasma column that participates in rotation simultaneously with linear motion thus providing uniform coating of the inner surface of the tube. The method of the invention consists of depositing a layer of silicon dioxide onto the inner surface of a plastic tube by means of the aforementioned antenna assembly. The plasma column is rotated by the RF magnetic field which is rotated by using two RF generators of different frequencies that energize two groups of specifically interconnected coils.

Coaxial plasma arc vapor deposition apparatus and method

An apparatus for deposition of plasma reaction films includes a substrate for the deposition of either thin or thick films. The substrate also allows for a film deposition which adheres to the substrate, and also films which may be removed after deposition. The cathode may be fabricated from individual wires, or it may be fabricated from a single conductor.

Plasma processing apparatus, plasma processing method and photoelectric conversion element

In the case of performing at least two plasma processing steps in a common plasma reaction chamber, a CW AC power or a pulse-modulated AC power is appropriately selected as a power for plasma processing in each step. Thereby, even in a step where plasma processing conditions are limited due to apparatus configurations, the plasma processing can be performed in more various manners. Further, uniform plasma can be generated between electrodes and a quantity of a power to be supplied between the electrodes can be reduced, by using the pulse-modulated AC power. Thereby, a plasma processing speed can be reduced so that throughput control is facilitated.

Method for manufacturing nanopowders of oxide through DC plasma thermal reaction

A method for manufacturing powders of oxides in a nanometer level through a direct current plasma thermal reaction is disclosed. The energy required is provided by the plasma that is generated in the non-transferred DC plasma apparatus. Once the solid precursors are introduced into the plasma, the solid precursors are vaporized and oxidized in the plasma reaction region of the non-transferred DC plasma apparatus continuously. Then, the oxide powders in a nanometer scale can form homogeneously and continuously. By controlling the nozzle size, the speed of the plasma can be adjusted and the coarsening and agglomeration of the nanopowders can be effectively prevented. Finally, oxide nanopowders of high-purity and high-dispersity are obtained by cooling down the plasma gas containing the vaporized and oxidized precursor through a vortical cooling-gas.
