Abstract
Description
本願は、国際出願PCT/US2009/045708(2009年5月29日出願、Moore、他)を基礎とする優先権の利益を主張する。該国際出願は、米国仮出願第61/057,667号(2008年5月30日出願、Moore、他、名称「PLASMA−BASED CHEMICAL SOURCE DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF」)を基礎とする優先権の利益を主張する。両出願の全内容は、参照により本明細書に引用される。
本開示は、表面加工および材料の除去または堆積のためのプラズマデバイスおよびプロセスに関する。特に、本開示は、選択された含有物に特有の励起状態種(例えば、励起光子)とともに、プラズマデバイス内の化学反応性、プラズマ生成された化学種を生成および方向づけるための装置および方法に関する。
式(1)では、γは、二次電子放出収率または係数であり、Γsecondaryは、電子束であり、Γionは、イオン束である。二次放出は、イオン衝撃衝突が、二次電子放出を誘発するために十分なエネルギーを有する場合、層24上へのプラズマ種(イオン)の衝撃のために生じ、それによって、γモード放電を発生させる。概して、放電は、気体(αモード放電)よりは、電子発生が電極表面(すなわち、γ>1)において優先的に生じる場合のγモードであると言われる。言い換えると、層24と衝突するイオン毎に、所定の数の二次電子が放出される。それによって、γはまた、Γsecondary(例えば、電子束)およびΓion(例えば、イオン束)の比率として考えられ得る。
式(2)において、Nは、散乱中心の数であり、これは、イオン性媒体、前駆体、および大気気体の分子であり得る。それによって、Nは、媒体密度を規定する。変数σは、散乱中心の平均粒子断面である。高エネルギー電子の厚さは、Nおよびσの積に反比例する。したがって、Nおよびσを減少させることによって、より多くの高エネルギー電子を発生可能となる。より低いσが、水素およびヘリウム等の低断面を有する分子を持つ特定のイオン性媒体化合物を使用して、提供され得る。変数Nは、気体密度を低減するために、イオン性媒体を加熱し、プラズマ反応を維持するために必要な最低量に、提供される媒体量を限定することによって、小さくされ得る。
式(3)によって描写される反応は、プラズマ/液体界面35において生じ、プラズマ流31により、水分子に供給されるエネルギーによる、水酸化物(OH−)および水素(H+)ラジカルの形成によって特徴付けられる。加えて、他のラジカルもまた、酸化物および水素化物等、プラズマ/液体界面35において形成され得る。発生したラジカルは、歯上の異物の蓄積に衝突し、それによって、歯を白くする。より具体的には、ラジカルおよび他のプラズマ発生種は、蓄積物の結合を成分化合物に分解し、これは、次いで、液体媒体34中で溶解される。
図8Aおよび8Bは、液体環境において、骨組織に対する骨組織に供給される前述のプラズマ流の効果を例証する。各実施例では、骨組織が、脱イオン水中に浸漬され、NaClが、水に添加され、局所化された損傷を形成するための化学前駆体として、塩化物イオン(例えば、NaClから)が提供された。電極が、液体中に浸漬され、プラズマ発生が点火され、2分間、維持された。図8Aにおける損傷は、2mm超の浸漬距離「d」まで浸漬された遠位部分を有する電極を使用して形成されたが、図7Bは、2mm未満の浸漬距離「d」まで浸漬された遠位部分を有する電極によって形成された効果を示す。より小さい「d」を使用する効果は、プラズマ流において発生したより高温の温度による、黒焦および他の組織除去を示す、図7Bに例証されるようにより顕著である。浅い深度において、デバイスによって生成されるプラズマ流は、黒焦が少ないが、依然として、骨組織を除去する。黒焦の欠如は、プラズマ流の熱およびその止血効果を低下させる浅い浸漬深度によるものである。
図10は、歯の増白に及ぼす前述のプラズマの効果を例証する。図10は、治療前および治療プロセスにおける種々の時点、すなわち、1、2、3、4、および8分時において撮影された歯の6つの写真を示す。歯は、脱イオン水中に浸漬され、電極が、歯(例えば、液体中に浸漬された)歯に近接された。アルゴンガスが、プラズマデバイスに供給され、プラズマ発生が点火され、8分間、維持された。写真は、治療プロセスの漸次的進行および歯からのステインの完全除去を例証する。
チタン酸化物(TiO2)触媒が、脱イオン水中に添加され、プラズマが、水媒体内で発生された。TiO2触媒の効果は、ヒドロキシル(OH)および水素(H)ラジカル、すなわち、HベータおよびHアルファラジカルのスペクトルによって測定された。ヒドロキシルの測定強度の比較を示す、図13−15に例証されるように、HベータおよびHアルファラジカルは、脱イオン水およびTiO2のナノ粒子を有する脱イオン水内で発生された。強度の増加は、触媒の添加に起因する、ラジカルのより高い濃度を示す。
