Electric field strengths within a micro cavity plasma array measured by Stark shift and splitting of a helium line pair

Résumé

Abstract The electric field is a fundamental parameter for plasma sources and devices. Its knowledge is a dominant setscrew for many processes such as controllable fluxes and energies of charged particles onto surfaces and for the electron energy distribution function. However, experimental data of electric field strengths in micro-structured surface dielectric barrier discharges are rare. Due to geometric configurations and dimensions in micrometer scale, probe-based investigations are challenging. To tackle these issues, we exploit the optical access into micro cavities of a plasma array operated with pure helium to use the Stark effect of the allowed 492.19 nm ( D 1 ↦ P 0 1 ) and forbidden 492.06 nm helium line ( F 0 1 ↦ P 0 1 ) . Based on it, we present spatially-integrated and time-resolved electric field strengths in a range between 20 kV cm −1 and 60 kV cm −1 depending on various parameters such as cavity diameters in 100 μ m range and excitation properties. The obtained electric fields can be controlled just by bipolarity of applied voltage and show a good agreement to previous simulated field strengths in pore and silicon-based devices. As expected from simulation dealing with discharges in pores, a smaller cavity dimension yields higher electric field strengths. Due to these high electric fields and the option of this plasma source to easily integrate a catalyst in the discharge volume, this micro cavity plasma array promises further insights into plasma-enhanced catalysis.
