研究目的
To develop and apply a method for measuring the photophoretic force on microparticles in complex plasmas, specifically in binary mixtures, to understand the contributions of radiation pressure and photophoretic forces.
研究成果
The study successfully presents a novel method for measuring photophoretic forces in complex plasmas using binary mixtures and laser heating. Results show that photophoretic force is significant for MF particles, contributing up to half the total force at certain pressures, while it is negligible for silica particles. The approach overcomes limitations of direct force measurements and provides consistent results with theoretical predictions, highlighting its importance for future experiments on polydisperse systems.
研究不足
The method relies on assumptions such as spherical particles and simplified models for heat transfer and force calculations. Uncertainties in optical properties (e.g., imaginary part of refractive index) and potential surface modifications from laser radiation may affect accuracy. The model does not account for particle rotation or additional heating mechanisms like instabilities.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a laser heating setup to increase kinetic temperatures of binary particle mixtures (MF and SiO2) in a complex plasma. The design involves comparing temperature gains to a laser force model, with variations in neutral gas pressure and application of Lorenz-Mie theory to separate force contributions.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Binary mixtures of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) and silica (SiO2) microparticles with specified sizes and mass densities are used. Particles are injected into a radio frequency plasma discharge in argon gas at pressures below 10 Pa.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes an asymmetric capacitively coupled radio frequency discharge chamber, DPSS lasers (wavelength 532 nm), scanning mirrors, beam splitters, cameras (top view and side view), dust dispensers, and interference filters. Materials include MF and SiO2 particles, argon gas.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Particles are injected and levitated in a monolayer. Laser beams are scanned randomly across the particle cluster to heat it. Kinetic temperatures are measured from particle trajectories recorded by cameras. The procedure involves adjusting laser power and pressure, and identifying particle species based on scattered light intensity and area.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Particle positions and velocities are tracked using the moment method for sub-pixel resolution. Kinetic temperatures are computed from velocity variances. Gaussian fits are applied to velocity distributions, and force ratios are derived from temperature ratios using theoretical models.
