Hybrid global model of water cluster ions in atmospheric pressure Ar/H2O RF capacitive discharges

Résumé

Water is a trace gas of strong interest for plasma-based medical applications. We use a hybrid global model to simulate a chemically complex Ar/ atmospheric pressure, radio frequency capacitive discharge, including 47 species with positive ion clusters up to . For a discharge gap of 1.5 mm driven at 27.12 MHz, we determine the discharge properties over a range of rf currents (150–500 A m−2) and initial concentrations (0.25–2%). An isothermal plug-flow model is used with a gas residence time of 0.2 s for most calculations, with the gas temperature calculated self-consistently from the input power. The cluster density distributions are determined, and we find that the higher mass cluster densities decrease rapidly with increasing gas temperature. A simplified cluster dynamics analytic model is developed and solved to determine the cluster density distributions, which is in good agreement with the hybrid simulation results.
