研究目的
To apply different surface nanofabrication techniques to create porous surfaces for reducing the secondary electron yield (SEY) of silver to suppress multipactor discharge in space applications.
研究成果
Nanofabrication techniques effectively suppress SEY by increasing surface porosity and aspect ratio, with reductions up to 52% observed. The relationship between SEY and parameters like aspect ratio and porosity is nonlinear, indicating diminishing returns at higher values. Maintaining certain SEY thresholds is crucial for design optimization. These findings provide a criterion for selecting nanofabrication methods to mitigate multipactor in space applications, though further research is needed to validate performance in RF devices.
研究不足
The study focuses on silver substrates; applicability to other materials may require further validation. The nanofabrication techniques may involve complexities in controlling parameters like porosity and aspect ratio precisely. Insertion loss and fabrication difficulty are mentioned as considerations, but not deeply explored. The simulations assume specific conditions (e.g., primary electrons striking the center of holes), which may not cover all real-world scenarios.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs various nanofabrication techniques including sputtering, photolithography, etching, and graphene deposition to engineer porous silver surfaces. The rationale is to reduce SEY by increasing surface porosity and aspect ratio, thereby suppressing multipactor discharge. Theoretical models, such as the phenomenological model by Ye et al., are used for simulation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Silver substrates are used as the base material. Samples are prepared with different surface treatments: sputtered with argon ions, patterned via photolithography, chemically etched, and coated with graphene. Data on surface morphology (e.g., depth, diameter, porosity) are obtained using SEM and LSM.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a sputtering system, photolithography setup with ultraviolet light and photomask, etching chemicals (HF and Fe(NO3)3), r-PECVD system for graphene deposition, SEM, LSM, AFM, thermionic electron gun, picoammeter (Keithley 6487), and vacuum chamber. Materials include silver substrates, argon gas, photoresist, methane gas, and various chemicals for etching.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
For each technique: Sputtering involves bombarding Ag with 1.5 keV argon ions. Photolithography uses UV light to transfer patterns, followed by chemical engraving and resist removal. Etching involves chemical reactions with HF and Fe(NO3)3. Graphene deposition is done via r-PECVD with methane at specific power and temperature. SEY measurements are conducted in vacuum using an electron gun and picoammeter, with sample biasing to prevent tertiary electrons.
