Description

Device and method for eliminating microsphere surface static electricity
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device and a method for eliminating static electricity on the surface of a microsphere.
Background
In Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) scientific research, microspheres with GDP (CH polymer) coatings are selected as the first choice of deuterium-tritium fuel containers and ablative layers in laser ICF physical experiments because of their high strength, good surface finish, high infrared transmittance and other advantages. In the preparation process of the GDP microsphere, in order to obtain the GDP microsphere with high surface smoothness and uniform coating thickness, the microsphere needs to roll randomly in plasma glow in the process of coating CH polymer, namely, an inclined microsphere tray is driven to rotate by a stepping motor, and the microsphere is placed in the tray to roll randomly under the combined action of gravity and friction force. This is already achieved in the patent with publication number CN201552114U, entitled tilting microsphere rolling device. However, in the initial stage of coating CH polymers, the surface of the microspheres often attracts or repels each other between the microspheres and the tray, and between the microspheres due to static electricity carried on the surface, thereby affecting the rolling effect of the microspheres. In addition, electrostatic effects can negatively affect the transportation, fuel loading, etc. of the GDP microspheres before and after they are formed into finished products.
Conventional GDP microsphere surface static elimination methods are typically performed at atmospheric pressure. For example, patent document publication No. CN 102484358A discloses a static eliminator for eliminating static electricity of a charged object by positive and negative ion airflows. Patent document publication No. CN101031178A discloses a plasma discharge point electrostatic eliminator of dielectric barrier discharge plasma, and the like. The solution disclosed in the above document can eliminate static electricity on the surface of the GDP microspheres, but at the same time introduce impurities into the GDP microspheres. And these schemes are all carried out at normal pressure, and thus lead to oxidation of the surface of the GDP microspheres. These factors all lead to great hydrodynamic instability when the laser irradiates the ICF target pellet, which seriously affects the experimental results.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the drawings and examples.
As shown in FIG. 1, the device for eliminating the static electricity on the surface of the microsphere comprises a quartz resonant cavity 1 and an antenna 10 coiled on the outer side of the quartz resonant cavity 1, wherein the antenna 10 is coil-type and is connected with a radio frequency matching network 11. The quartz resonant cavity 1 has a cylindrical cavity wall, an upper sealing cover 2 and a lower sealing cover 5 are respectively arranged at two ends of the cavity wall, a vacuum measuring resistor unit 3 and an ionization unit 4 are arranged outside the upper sealing cover 2, and an air inlet 6 is also arranged on the upper sealing cover 2. The lower sealing cover 5 is provided with a grounding position 7 and a vacuum extraction opening 12, and the vacuum extraction opening 12 is also provided with a gate valve 13.
A sample support 8 is also arranged in the quartz resonant cavity 1, and a tray 9 is arranged on the sample support 8. The tray 9 is used for loading microspheres to be processed. In order to ensure that the tray 9 carrying the sample of microspheres to be treated is as central as possible in the plasma source zone, which is so dense and uniformly distributed that the microspheres to be treated are completely immersed in the plasma environment, the position of the coil-type antenna 10 can be adjusted along the axis of the quartz resonator 1.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the method for removing the static electricity on the surface of the microsphere by the above-mentioned device for removing the static electricity on the surface of the microsphere is as follows.
Example 1
Firstly, a proper amount of microsphere sample to be treated is configured in a tray 9, and the tray 9 is placed in a quartz resonant cavity 1. The relative positions of the tray 9 and the antenna 10 are adjusted so that the tray 9 is at the center of the plasma source region.
Secondly, the quartz resonant cavity 1 is vacuumized through the vacuum pumping hole 12, so that the air pressure in the quartz resonant cavity 1 is pumped to 1 multiplied by 10 -3 Pa or less to ensure that the number of oxygen atoms contained in the quartz resonator 1 is sufficiently small. And then the discharge gas, specifically hydrogen, is injected into the quartz resonant cavity 1 through the gas inlet 6, and the hydrogen injection flow rate is 10ml/min. The air pressure in the quartz resonator 1 was measured by the resistance unit 3 and the ionization unit 4, and the air pressure in the quartz resonator 1 was adjusted to 30Pa using the gate valve 13.
Thirdly, when the air pressure in the quartz resonant cavity 1 is stable, a radio frequency power supply is started, a 40.68MHz radio frequency signal is provided for the antenna 10 through the radio frequency matching network 11, the input power is adjusted to 10W, so that a high-frequency alternating electric field is formed in the space of the discharge chamber, and free electrons bombard neutral particles in the electric field at a high speed to dissociate, so that a dynamically balanced plasma is generated; ions and electrons in the plasma are respectively neutralized with opposite charges on the surfaces of the microspheres, so that the aim of removing static electricity is fulfilled. The duration of the application of the radio frequency signal is determined according to the plasma etching effect generated by the selected discharge gas, the application time of the radio frequency signal is the static electricity elimination processing time, and the surface morphology of the microsphere can be changed under the etching effect due to the fact that the microsphere is exposed to the plasma for a long time, so that the plasma processing time is as short as possible, and specifically 40-60s is taken as one period, and 1min is taken as one period in the embodiment.
And finally, repeating the operation of the upper section until the static electricity on the surface of the microsphere is eliminated.
Example 2
The procedure of this example was essentially the same as that of example 1, except that: helium is used as the discharge gas. The advantage of using helium discharge is that the plasma generated by helium is chemically inert and does not react with the microsphere sample to be treated.
Example 3
Firstly, a proper amount of microsphere sample to be treated is configured in a tray 9, and the tray 9 is placed in a quartz resonant cavity 1. The relative positions of the tray 9 and the antenna 10 are adjusted so that the tray 9 is at the center of the plasma source region.
Secondly, the quartz resonant cavity 1 is vacuumized through the vacuum pumping hole 12, so that the air pressure in the quartz resonant cavity 1 is pumped to 1 multiplied by 10 -3 Pa or below. And then injecting the discharge gas, specifically argon, into the quartz resonant cavity 1 through the gas inlet 6, wherein the injection flow rate is 20ml/min. The air pressure in the quartz resonator 1 was measured by the resistance unit 3 and the ionization unit 4, and the air pressure in the quartz resonator 1 was adjusted to 40Pa using the gate valve 13.
And thirdly, when the air pressure in the quartz resonant cavity 1 is stable, a radio frequency power supply is started, a 40.68MHz radio frequency signal is provided for the antenna 10 through the radio frequency matching network 11, the input power of the radio frequency signal is regulated to 80W, so that a high-frequency alternating electric field is formed in the space of the discharge chamber, and free electrons bombard neutral particles in the electric field at an increased speed to dissociate the neutral particles, so that a dynamically balanced plasma is generated. The application time of the radio frequency signal is the static electricity eliminating processing time, wherein the duration of single continuous application of the radio frequency signal is 40s. Ions and electrons in the plasma are respectively neutralized with opposite charges on the surfaces of the microspheres, so that static electricity on the surfaces of the microspheres is eliminated.
And finally, repeating the operation of the upper section until the static electricity on the surface of the microsphere is eliminated, and finally achieving the purpose of eliminating the static electricity.
Because the mass of argon is much larger than that of hydrogen and helium, after the argon generates plasma, when ions bombard the surface of the microsphere sample, the exchanged energy is much larger than that of the hydrogen and helium. Therefore, it is preferable to use a higher discharge gas pressure, and a lower radio frequency input power, to reduce ion energy and sheath potential drop in the argon plasma.
