RF-atmospheric pressure plasma jets as a source of vacuum-UV photons for photoionisation — •Natascha Blosczyk1, Tristan Winzer1, Judith Golda1,2, and Jan Benedikt1 — 1Institute for Experimental and Applied Physics, Kiel University, Kiel, Germany — 2current address: Experimental Physics, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Bochum, Germany
Vacuum-UV(VUV) radiation has great use, not only as a means of analysing gas mixtures by their emission and absorption spectra, but also as a way to induce chemical reactions in a target gas. Therefore, the aim of this work is to study VUV-radiation of different atmospheric plasma sources and develop a way to efficiently use it for photoionisation at atmospheric pressure. The VUV-radiation of helium and helium/argon plasmas with excimer continua and line-radiation is measured by VUV-spectroscopy in the 60 to 200 nm range as function of the input power and admixture of different reactive gases.
Acetylene is used as a model precursor to investigate the use of VUV-photons for photoionisation and follow-up chemistry, where the generated primary ions and ions formed in the polymerization reactions are detected by positive ion mass spectrometry. The VUV-generation in the plasma is separated from the diluted acetylene gas via a controlled gas flow. To further study the effects of the photons on the chemistry, the FTIR-spectrometry will be used to study the properties of deposited thin films from the VUV-photon activated gas mixture.
