    A sheath expansion around the Langmuir probe is known to give a significantly overestimated plasma density. Here, the sheath expansion effect suggested by Sheridan [Phys. Plasmas 7, 3084 (2000)] is successfully incorporated with no cumbersome analysis of the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the planar probe by measuring local plasma potential, floating potential, and ion saturation current. The probe consists of an emissive probe and two planar Langmuir probes, and is tested in low-pressure geometrically and magnetically expanding plasmas. The electron temperature estimated from the difference between the local plasma and floating potentials in the geometrically expanding plasma is in good agreement with that obtained from a classical analysis of the I–V characteristics. The plasma density computed with taking into account the sheath expansion effect shows significantly lower values than that obtained from the classical density estimation. The measurements in the magnetically expanding plasma successfully reproduce both the presence of the high-temperature population of electrons near the last field lines intersecting the radial wall at the open source exit and the presence of cold electrons outside the last field lines. The presently proposed method will lead to easy access to the two- and/or three-dimensional diagnoses of the low-pressure plasma structures.

    A high-density plasma of density greater than 1019m−3is successfully produced in 1.5 Pa argon by an inductively coupled RF discharge with a 70-mm-diameter source cavity, where a 10-turn water-cooled RF loop antenna is wound onto the source tube and an axial magnetic field of ∼70 G is applied by two solenoids to reduce plasma loss onto the source cavity. The RF antenna is powered from a frequency-tunable field-effect-transistor-based inverter power supply, which does not require variable capacitors to match the impedance, at a frequency of ∼350 kHz and the RF power can be increased up to ∼8 kW. It is also demonstrated that the source is operational with an axial magnetic field provided by permanent magnet (PM) arrays; then the density in the case of the PM arrays is higher than that in the case of the solenoids. The role of the magnetic filter downstream of the source tube is demonstrated; a radially uniform plasma density exceeding 1018m−3and an electron temperature of ∼1–2 eV are obtained at ∼100 mm downstream of the open exit of the source tube.

    A compact inductively-coupled plasma etching reactor with inner diameter of 38 mm without diffusion chamber (i.e., chamber diameter of plasma etching area is the same as that of plasma discharge area) has been developed. An external magnetic field, created by a solenoid current of ≳10 A that means magnetic field strength of ≳0.02 T at the center of solenoid coil, can effectively reduce losses of plasma at the chamber wall. At low RF power of around 50 W, a discharge-mode transited from capacitively- to inductively-coupled plasmas, high electron density plasma was generated and the optical emissions of fluorine increased in intensity. In summary, the external magnetic field maintains the high plasma density and the compact reactor for a processing area as small as 10 mm diameter has been demonstrated. The basic etching characteristics were evaluated in the case of a Si wafer masked with a SiO2 film. Typical etching rate of ≳0.3 μm/min was obtained at conditions with a solenoid current of 30 A, a RF power of 500 W, a pulsed plasma discharge with duty ratio of 10%, and a chamber pressure at 0.2 Pa.<br>

    Thrust components imparted by an electrodeless helicon plasma thruster including a magnetic nozzle are experimentally measured and analytically derived from momentum equations assuming a cold ion, negligible electron inertia and radial ion inertia. The magnetic nozzle of the maximum field strength of ~180 Gauss is provided by a solenoid coil located near the thruster exit. It is found that the total thrust can be given by the sum of an electron pressure force onto the source boundary and a Lorentz force generated by a radial magnetic field and an azimuthal electron diamagnetic drift current in the magnetic nozzle. Further, a permanent magnet helicon plasma thruster for more efficient and compact plasma thruster is also designed and tested.

    Measurements of plasma parameters and thrust imparted from the compact helicon source having an annular permanent magnet in addition to the previously reported magnet configuration are performed, where two different diameter annular permanent magnets of the 5.4-cm-diam and the 8-cm-diam are tested. The source diameter, the working argon gas pressure, and the 13.56 MHz rf power are chosen as 6.6 cm, 0.85 mTorr, and 500-2000 W, respectively. Both the plasma density in the magnetic nozzle and the measured thrust for the 8-cm-diam annular magnet are higher than that for the 5.4-cm-diam one. The thrust can be increased by the effective rf power, and reaches a maximum of about 9 mN and 6 mN for the 8-cm-diam and the 5.4-cm-diam annular magnet, respectively. As some of the plasma flow is trapped by the closed field lines near the annular magnets, the obtained thrust is lower than the configuration with no annular magnet.

    High power ion cyclotron resonance heating is performed in a fast-flowing plasma operated with hydrogen and helium gases. Ion heating is clearly observed in hydrogen plasma as well as in helium plasma. The resonance region of magnetic field is broader and wave absorption efficiency is higher in hydrogen plasma than those in helium plasma. The thermal energy of the heated ions is converted to the kinetic energy of the exhaust plume by passing through a diverging magnetic nozzle set in a downstream region. In the magnetic nozzle energy conversion occurred as keeping the magnetic moment constant, but some discrepancy was observed in larger gradient of magnetic field. The kinetic energy of the exhaust plume is successfully controlled by an input power of radio-frequency wave, which is one of the key technologies for the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) type plasma thruster.

    Fast-flowing plasmas in supersonic and super-Alfvénic regime are generated in combined experiments of ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) and acceleration in a magnetic nozzle. During radio-frequency (RF) wave excitation in a fast-flowing plasma produced by a magnet-plasma-dynamic arcjet (MPDA), strong ion cyclotron heating is clearly observed. Thermal energy in the heated plasma is converted into flow energy in a diverging magnetic nozzle, where the magnetic moment μ is nearly kept constant. Plasma flow energy can be controlled by changing the input RF power and/or modifying the magnetic nozzle configuration. In a strongly diverging magnetic nozzle, an Alfvén Mach number as well as ion acoustic Mach number are more than unity, that is, supersonic and super-Alfvénic plasma flow is realized.

    In order to measure a high density plasma more than 1020 m-3 in the vicinity of a magneto-plasma-dynamic arcjet (MPDA), a visible-laser interferometer is fabricated using a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm). As it doesn't have enough phase shift when the light passes through the MPDA plasma once, we adopt a multi-reflection optical system in this interferometer to improve the phase sensitivity. We measured a plasma density by the interferometer and estimated the maximum value of line-integrated density of 4 × 1019 m-2 . These experimental results are consistent with that of electrostatic probe measurement in the downstream region.

    We have evaluated a Fermi antenna newly designed in X band for use in a multichannel reflectometer. The advantages of the Fermi antenna are that it can be adopted as an array antenna owing to its planer shape and fabricated with a low cost due to its compactness and a light-weighted structure. The radiation-beam widths in the E- and H-plane are almost equal to each other and the side-lobe levels are low. Plasma behaviors in the HITOP device are measured by reflectometry using two Fermi antenna receivers. Time evolution of the cutoff layer and plasma rotation velocity measured by the reflectometer are in good agreement with an electrostatic probe measurement.

    An electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pump is one of the non-mechanical pumps and expected to be utilized in various micro-pumps. The EHD pump driven by an electrostriction force is expected to reduce power consumption rate and degradation in insulation property of the working fluid. We have investigated electrode structures of the EHD pump, where the electrostriction force works as a main force, by using electromagnetic and fluid dynamics simulations. The numerical results showed that ring and plate electrodes could drive the fluid efficiently with the electrostriction force. We have measured characteristics of the EHD pumps using a cyclic flow path and compared these experimental results with the simulation data. We also analized three-rod structure by the numerical simulation to be applied as miniaturized EHD pumps.

    In order to measure a high density plasma more than 1020 m-3 in the vicinity of a magneto-plasma-dynamic arcjet (MPDA), a visible-laser interferometer is fabricated using a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm). As it doesn't have enough phase shift when the light passes through the MPDA plasma once, we adopt a multi-reflection optical system in this interferometer to improve the phase sensitivity. We measured a plasma density by the interferometer and estimated the maximum value of line-integrated density of 4 × 1019 m-2 . These experimental results are consistent with that of electrostatic probe measurement in the downstream region.

    This intensive course gives fundamentals of probe measurement and its advanced applications. The first part reviews the theory of the electrostatic probe used in the plasma and methods for determining plasma parameters (space potential, electron temperature, plasma density, energy distribution, etc.). Several types of conventional probes are presented. The second part presents new methods and techniques that have been developed to measure complicated cases: electronegative plasma, flowing plasma, strongly magnetized (fusion) plasma, space plasma and (high pressure) microplasma by giving some examples.

    Mach probe with two collecting tips facing to the direction parallel and perpendicular to the plasma flow, named para-perp type one, is evaluated by using a directional Langmuir probe (DLP) in a fast owing plasma produced by an MPD (Magneto-Plasma-Dynamic) arcjet. We present simple formulas to determine an ion acoustic Mach number Mi from the ratio of collected ion saturation currents. The formulas and experimentally-obtained data are compared with Hutchinson's simulation results which are calculated using a particle-in-cell(PIC) code in an unmagnetized plasma condition. [I.H. Hutchinson, Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion, 44 1953 (2002).] Good agreements are obtained among these data in both subsonic and supersonic plasma flows. Correction factor κ to determine Mi is presented under various conditions of Ti/Te and the specific heat ratio for ions γi.

    In order to clarify the electromagnetic acceleration mechanisms of an applied-field magneto-plasma-dynamic arcjet (MPDA), magnetic fields are measured in detail near the MPDA outlet. Plasma current density is calculated using the Maxwell equation (rotB0j), and then spatial distributions of Lorentz forces (j×B forces) are evaluated. A uniform external magnetic field is deformed by a strong diamagnetic effect near the MPDA outlet, and as a consequence, a converging magnetic nozzle configuration is formed. It is found that an axial Lorentz force Fz (=jrBθ-jθBr) is almost eliminated by the deceleration force (the jθBr force), which results from the diamagnetic effect. The deceleration force can be converted to the acceleration one in an externally-applied diverging magnetic field.

    A high-density and high-speed flowing helium-plasma is produced quasi-steadily (1 ms) by use of a magneto-plasma-dynamic arcjet (MPDA) in various external magnetic field configurations. In a uniform magnetic field configuration, an ion acoustic Mach number Mi of the plasma flow is limited to be nearly unity. In a divergent magnetic nozzle configuration, on the other hand, the Mach number increases up to almost 3. The Mach number increases in proportion to the gradient of the magnetic field. Spatial variations of Mi are well predicted by an isentropic model of compressible flow. The Mach number decreases in the downstream region due to charge-exchange collisional processes that are caused by a limited pumping capability of surface-recombined neutral gases.

    A high-current, more than 10A, H^- ion beam has been accelerated to more than 100 keV with the two-stage acceleration for the first time. A large negative hydrogen ion source with an external magnetic filter, which has been developed for the LHD-NBI system, produces more than 10A of the H^- ions from the grid area of 25 cm × 50 cm with the arc efficiency of 0.1 A/kW by seeding a small amount of cesium. A 13.6A of H^- ion beam has been accelerated to 125 keV at the operational gas pressure of 3.4 mTorr. The maximum H^- ion current which can be accelerated is determined by the perveance of the accelerator, and is dependent on the 3/2-power of the total beam energy. The optimum beam acceleration with a small divergent angle is achieved with nearly the same electric fields in the first and the second acceleration gaps on condition that the ratio of the first acceleration to the extraction electric fields is adjusted for an aspect ratio of the extraction gap. The ratio of the acceleration drain current to the H^- ion current is more than 1.7. That is mainly due to the secondary electron generated by the incident H^- ions on the extraction grid and the electron suppression grid. The neutralization efficiency was measured and agrees with the theoretical calculation result. These results satisfy the specification of the negative-ion-based LHD-NBI system.

    The improvement of the confinement of the ohmic plasma with limiter configuration, similar to the improved ohmic confinement (IOC) mode of ASDEX, is observed in JIPP T-IIU. The features of our IOC mode are summarized in the following way. 1) the circular limiter-plasma instead of the divertor plasma, 2) very high density threshold for IOC in contrast to the ASDEX IOC mode. 3) no enhanced radiation due to impurity accumulation. The preliminary experimental results are discussed.

    This intensive course gives fundamentals of probe measurement and its advanced applications. The first part reviews the theory of the electrostatic probe used in the plasma and methods for determining plasma parameters (space potential, electron temperature, plasma density, energy distribution, etc.). Several types of conventional probes are presented. The second part presents new methods and techniques that have been developed to measure complicated cases: electronegative plasma, flowing plasma, strongly magnetized (fusion) plasma, space plasma and (high pressure) microplasma by giving some examples.

    理想的な条件では、アルカリ金属並みの2.4 eVという低仕事関数を持つC12A7エレクトライド表面について、水素負イオン源で想定される軽水素および重水素放電によりどのように仕事関数が変化するか調査した。さらに、放電容器とC12A7エレクトライドにバイアス電圧を印加することによりどのように仕事関数が変化するかについても調査した。この結果、軽水素放電関連過程では2.6 eVと理想的な条件下に近い値と得ることができた。C12A7エレクトライド表面の仕事関数と水素負イオン生成量の関係を調べたところ、軽水素および重水素ともに低仕事関数ほど水素負イオン生成量が増加する傾向がみられたが、当初予想していた指数関数的な関係はみられなかった。C12A7エレクトライドにバイアス電圧を印加して軽水素および重水素負イオン生成量を調べることにより、同条件でみられた水素負イオン生成量の同位体効果は水素正イオンがC12A7エレクトライドへ入射する速度により説明可能であることが分かった。 放電電力50Wの小型ECR水素負イオン源において、負イオン源プラズマとビーム引出境界であり、水素負イオン生成面でもあるC12A7エレクトライド製プラズマ電極にテーパー加工を施した。テーパー面を上流にした場合、テーパー面を下流にした場合と比べて4倍以上のビーム電流を得た。参照材料であり水素負イオン生成効果が殆どないモリブデンでも同様の実験を行ったがC12A7エレクトライドほどの差はみられなかった。このことからテーパー加工によりビーム引出孔近傍の水素負イオン生成面が広くなったことが水素負イオンビーム電流の増加に繋がったと示唆された。 kW級放電電力のプラズマ源を製作し、次年度以降のkW級放電化におけるC12A7エレクトライドの性能評価に向けた整備を進めた。

    Principle demonstration of the thrust generation by an efficient emission of the metallic material due to a plasma sputtering phenomenon is successfully performed, where the conventional magnetron sputtering source is used for the experiment. The detected thrust is significantly affected by the target material and the variation well agrees with the sputtering yield, which is the number of the sputtered target atom by an incident ion. Furthermore, the measured ion density downstream of the sputtering source shows that the thrust induced by the charged particles is much less than the actually detected thrust, i.e., is negligible, ensuring the thrust generation by the sputtering phenomenon. For further development of the compact electric propulsion system, the experiment is extended to the plasma production and sputtering by using the liquid metallic propellant of cesium. Further improvement of the propellant seeding is required in near future.

    The present study demonstrates that the bi-directional plasma exhaust and acceleration can occur in an electrodeless, magnetic nozzle, rf plasma thruster; the plasma flux exhausted from the thruster to the upstream and downstream sides can be controlled by the magnetic field configuration. The thrust and the force exerted to the target plate simulating the space debris are simultaneously measured. The results demonstrate that the acceleration and deceleration modes of the spacecraft and the space debris removal modes can be switched by the magnetic field configuration. Furthermore, an automatically- and fast-controlled frequency tunable rf system is developed for future development of the propulsion module, where the rf frequency and the output power are controlled so as to minimize the reflection coefficient and to maintain the net rf power. This fast and compact system can produce the high density plasma with good reproducibility,

    In order to improve the performance of the neutral particle injector (NBI) for fusion reactor, research and development in a negative ion source using radio-frequency power and improving neutralization efficiency was conducted. In particular, development of a photo-neutralization cell has been strongly expected due to its high neutralization efficiency of 95%. We have carried out development of the photo-neutralization cell and an negative ion source using a high-frequency radio-frequency(RF) power for continuous operation of the source. A computer simulation code using PIC(particle-in-cell) and MC(Monte Calro) methods was developed. We have found that combined method of gas and photo neutralization is effective for high neutralization efficiency and beam focusing. While optimizing the optical design for the photo-neutralization cell, the RF negative ion source was developed with adding cesium vapor and negative hydrogen ion beam was obtained.

    The effect of flow separation control under reduced pressure flow field has been investigated using a dielectric-barrier-discharge plasma actuator (DBDPA). We quantitatively measured pressure distribution around a flat plate immersed in the Mars wind tunnel, where a flow field is visualized by the Schlieren method qualitatively. Flow separation was suppressed under 10 and 20 kPa of gas pressure. Schlieren visualization shows that a large density fluctuation occurred in a separation shear layer according to the PA actuations. It seems that the intermittent actuation of PA causes the density fluctuation, resulting in the flow separation control.

    It has been shown that the plasma-gas interaction in an electrodeless high density plasma thruster plays important roles in the momentum transport, the momentum loss to the wall, and the generation of the thrust. By progressing the understanding and developing the control method of the plasma-gas interaction, generation of the high-density plasma flow and the performance improvement of the plasma thruster has been performed. These insight and laboratory experiments can provide various interesting phenomena such as a transition of the plasma-flow-state from diverging to stretching the magnetic nozzle, and the adiabatic expansion of free electrons in the magnetic nozzle. These insight will contribute to expansion of fundamental scientific researches and thruster development hereafter. Furthermore, development of peripheral equipment such as the RF system was started; leading further expansion of the research to the engineering step.

    In this research, we aim to develop a technology to melt ice and snow by chemical reactions caused by an atmospheric-pressure plasma instead of mechanical or thermal energy. The discharge characteristics at low temperature were measured. The discharge reactor, which can easily change the temperature from -15 ° C at a minimum and 100 ° C at a maximum was prepared. From the photograph of the discharge emission of light in a different temperature, we analyzed the emission intensity and the diameter of the streamer channel. The results shows that the diameter of the streamer is almost linearly changed under low temperature depending on the averaged reduced electric field.

    Plasma flow dynamics in magnetic nozzle are investigated over wide ranges of several parameters such as a plasma density, ion and electron temperatures, and a plasma flow velocities by using a current-driven magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster and a current-free helicon plasma thruster. The experiments demonstrate that the spatial profile of the external discharge current is controllable for the MPD thruster by the magnetic field configuration; resulting in the improvement of the thruster performance. For the case of the helicon thruster, the Lorentz force due to the spontaneous azimuthal plasma current and the radial magnetic field of the nozzle is a key factor to increase the thrust imparted by the thruster. By combining these two concept of the thruster, the novel high power thruster called a helicon MPD thruster is also demonstrated in the laboratory experiments.

    Thrust generation mechanisms in a magnetic nozzle, electrodeless helicon plasma thurster are experimentally and theoretically investigated. The individual and direct measurement of the thrust components arising from the physical boundaries and magnetic nozzle are performed for the first time. This technique clearly evidences the presence of the thrust gain by the mangetic nozzle even in the current-free plasma thruster. The comparison between the measured thrust and the plasma parameters reveal that the Lorentz force due to the azimuthal plasma current and the radial magnetic field accelerates the plasmas and increases their axial momentum; then the thrust corresponding to the axial plasma momentum is increased. Furthermore, the novel loss mechanisms of the axial momentum to the lateral wall is discovered here. Based on the above studies, the higher performance thruster is successfully designed and operated in the laboratory.

    The main objective of this research is the development of the ion-engine using the reflected-type negative ion source. The experiments were performed in our previously-developed RF ion source and the extraction of the negative ion beam from the source was tested. The acceleration electrodes consist of a molybdenum plasma grid, cupper extraction and acceleration grids. The extraction and acceleration voltage can be applied to 10 kV and 20 kV, respectively. The results show that the ratio of the negative ion in the extracted beam can be changed by the extraction voltage and it reaches about 10%. In addition, the arrangement of the cusp magnetic field around the source improves the performance of the negative ion source.

    Production mechanism of negative hydrogen ions in a plasma-assisted catalytic ionization method is investigated in connection with research and development of cesium-free negative ion source for neutral particle beam injection heating. When positive ions produced by discharge are irradiated onto a metal surface and some of them pass through the metal aperture, negative ions are produced from the back of the irradiation plane. The irradiated metal is used a porous nickel, metal grids made of some elements, or a plasma grid made of aluminum with single aperture. The dominant process of negative-ion production is found not to be desorption ionization owing to collision of fast positive ions with adsorbed hydrogen atoms but neutralization and negative ionization of slow positive ions on the metal surface.

    近年、大型磁場閉じ込め装置における周辺プラズマ計測として、従来のプローブ計測に替わるビーム分光法を用いた計測法が研究されている。この計測手法では、原子状ヘリウムジェットを周辺プラズマ部に入射し、HeIの分光計測から電子温度密度測定を行う手法であり、そのために100eV程度のエネルギーを有したヘリウム粒子ビームを効率よく生成でき、かつ高粒子束のビーム源が求められている。本研究の目的は、この高粒子束ヘリウム中性粒子源の開発を行うことである。 昨年実施したホール加速機構を利用したイオン源では、ヘリウムガスでの放電が不安定であり、また定常運転を行う際にフィラメントの損耗や不純物の混入が問題となることがわかった。そこで、本年度は定常運転を目指した高周波放電でのイオン源の開発を実施した。高周波放電を利用することによりビーム電圧の制御性を向上させることが出来る利点がある。高周波源として変換効率の高いFETを用いたインバータ方式を採用し、誘導結合型ヘリウム放電実験を行った。あわせてアルゴンや水素放電との比較も行ったが、1〜3Pa程度の低ガス圧条件下で水素に比べ高い生成効率で電子密度が10^<18>m^<-3>を越える準定常放電を行うことが出来た。分光計測、プローブ計測、カロリメータ計測を実施し、高周波ヘリウムイオン源の特性評価を行った。準安定励起He原子フラックスの絶対評価を行うには至らなかったが、昨年度実施した2段放電方式と組合せることでビームエネルギー可変のイオン源が実現可能となった。

    フォトニック結晶を用いた能動的光制御法を開発するために、北條らが提案したプラズマとフォトニック結晶構造を組み合わせたまったく新しい手法を開拓することを目的として原理実験を行った。すなわち、プラズマで満たされた空間に誘電体でフォトニック結晶格子を構成しプラズマ密度を制御することによって、ミリ波帯領域の電磁波伝搬制御を行うものである。プラズマ発生装置は、東北大学に設置されている高密度電磁流体実験装置(HITOP)を用いて行った。この装置は、全長3.3m、内直径0.8mの真空容器内にMPDアークジェットを用いて準定常的(約1ミリ秒)に高密度プラズマを生成することができる。放電電流および外部コイルによる磁場を制御することで、プラズマの密度をかえることができる。まず、レーザ干渉計(プラズマ生成部)や静電プローブ(実験部)を用いてプラズマ特性測定を行った。その結果、半値直径25cm、10^<11>〜10^<13>cm^<-3>のプラズマを実現できた。また、1回の放電によって生成開始および生成終了時に刻々とプラズマ密度が変化するためプラズマ密度における電磁波伝搬測定が1ショットでできることが分かった。プラズマフォトニック結晶法の実験を行うためにHITOP装置端部に大型の石英窓を有した真空容器を設置した。ここに、ガラスロッド(直径2mm、長さ245mm)を格子状に配置し、真空窓から6GHz〜26GHz帯のマイクロ波を入射し対向側の受信アンテナで透過特性を測定した。その結果、マイクロ波はあるプラズマ密度領域で透過率が減衰することが実験的にわかった。この実験結果をもとに計算機シミュレーションとの比較を行った。

    In this research we have carried out various experiments for the following purposes. (1) Realization of wide range of ion Mach number M_i and Alfven Mach number M_A parameters. (2) Verification of the extended Bernouilli's equation in a high-beta plasma flow, (3) Establishment of the experimental evaluation method of an adiabatic exponent in a fast-flowing plasma, (4) Elucidation of magneto-plasma dynamics in a super-Alfvenic flow associated with structural change of magnetic field. In order to establish control method of the Mach numbers and to perform various experimental researches in a super-Alfvenic plasma flow, a magneto-plasma-dynamic arcjet (MPDA) was modified and small magnetic coil was attached to form magnetic nozzle at the muzzle of the improved MPDA. A multiple-reflection type visible light laser interferometer was equipped for electron density measurement near the MPDA exit, and the electron density in the magnetic nozzle region was measured. We have also measured plasma flow dynamics in various magnetic configurations, especially utilizing the combination between ion heating and magnetic nozzle. A super-Alfvenic plasma flow was successfully generated and plasma flows were realized in a wide range of M_i, and M_A parameters. In order to analyze the plasma flow dynamics, it is necessary to evaluate the adiabatic exponent of ions experimentally. There was no research to measure the adiabatic exponent experimentally until now. We have established the evaluation method of an adiabatic exponent from the behavior of fast-flowing plasmas in magnetic nozzle. It was also able to clarify temporal evolution of the adiabatic exponent. As a result, we have established the generation and control method of fast-flowing plasma, and clarified experimentally dynamics of fast-flowing plasmas in a wide range of M_i and M_A parameters. In this research, we have obtained a lot of important knowledge related to various plasma physics and applied researches.

    近年、ビッグバンに代表される相対論的宇宙論の進展とともに、ブラックホールの存在が予言され観測研究が進められている。ブラックホールはホーキング輻射と呼ばれるプランク分布に従う輻射を放出しているという予言がホーキングによって示されている。この現象はブラシクホールに付随する「事象の地平線」における時空の引き延ばし効果に起因するもので、最も興味深い現象の一つであるが未だ実証もされていない。 本研究は、磁気ラバールノズルを用いてプラズマ流を亜音速から超音速に加速し、その際に出現する"sonic point"近傍にて波動を励起しそのパワースペクトルを観測することによりホーキング輻射予言を実証する事を目的とした実験研究を行った。 本年度は、発散収束型(ラバール型)磁気ノズル部において、プラズマ流中でのイオンマッハ数が1近傍になる"sonic point"が形成され、この近傍においてイオン音波の励起と伝搬に関する実験を行った。この近傍では衝撃波発生に伴うイオン温度の上昇現象が観測され、そのためにイオン音波のランダウ減衰がおこりスペクトル観測が困難であることが判明した。一方、イオン音波だけでなく、アルヴェン波を用いることで、アルヴェンマッハ数M_A=1の"sonic point"におけるアルヴェン波の伝搬についても実験を実施した。発散型磁気ノズル形状を用いることでアルヴェンマッハ数が1以上の超アルヴェン速プラズマ流を生成し、アルヴェン波励起と伝搬特性を観測した。これらの実験において、上下流への波動伝搬に対するプラズマ流のドップラー効果を利用することで、プラズマ流速の新しい計測法を見出した。

    This research aims to establish the technique for heating the ions in a fast-flowing plasma efficiently and for converting the increased thermal energy into flow one by using a magnetic nozzle. Various technologies accumulated in plasma science and fusion researches help the development of the thruster with variable thrust, which is one of the representative in the advanced space transportation systems. We investigated in detail the ion heating method of a fast-flowing plasma and the energy conversion in a magnetic nozzle, and the following important results were obtained. 1.Shear Alfven wave of m=-1 was excited efficiently with a helical-type antenna, and strong ion heating was observed in a fast-flowing plasma in the low density region. 2.The effect of ion-ion collisions, the Doppler effect and the effect by the neutral gas were observed. These findings were useful for the efficient ion heating. 3.We have observed experimentally that the thermal energy of ions heated nearly 100eV was converted to flow energy by passing through a divergent magnetic nozzle. It was demonstrated for the first time that the exhaust plasma flow energy could be controlled by changing an input RF power for the ion heating. 4.It was also experimentally confirmed that an electric field was generated in the magnetic nozzle in the direction of the ion acceleration, and the ion velocity distribution function was measured. It was suggested that not only the energy conversion by the magnetic nozzle but also the effect of the electric field were important for the plasma acceleration. As a result, we have shown experimentally that the plasma acceleration could be controlled by the ion heating, which is a fundamental technology for the efficient space thruster, and clarified the plasma acceleration mechanism and its control methods. In this research, we have obtained a lot of important knowledge related to the establishment of the ion heating and the energy conversion technology.

    This research aims to clarify an electromagnetic acceleration mechanism of plasma flow and to control Mach number of the plasma flow using a magnetic nozzle for optimization of the plasma acceleration. Especially, we have directly observed the electromagnetic force (Lorentz force) accelerating the plasma in the Laval-type magnetic nozzle and compared it with the flow velocity measurement. We investigated in detail the formation of the Lorentz force in various magnetic field configurations and effects on the acceleration. The results are summarized as follows. 1.The thermal energy of the ion was converted into the flow energy by passing through the Laval type magnetic nozzle at the muzzle of Magneto-Plasma-Dynamic arcjet (MPDA). The ion Mach number of the plasma attains to more than unity and the supersonic plasma flow was obtained. 2.Spatial profiles of the several plasma parameters, flow velocity, ion temperature and Mach number of the plasma, were consistent with the theoretical results derived from the one-dimensional isentropic flow model. 3.It was experimentally clarified that the magnetic field in the plasma flow became weak caused by the diamagnetic effect and the converging magnetic field was spontaneously formed near the MPDA. The Lorenz force by the azimuthal current and the inward magnetic field decelerated ions in the plasma. 4.Adding a strong diverging magnetic field improved the deformation of the magnetic field and changes the deceleration force to acceleration force, which resulted in a large increase of plasma flow velocity. As a result, we have shown that the electromagnetic force acting on the plasma flow could be controlled directly by shaping the external magnetic field, and clarified the plasma acceleration mechanism and its control methods.

    We have evaluated characteristics of a tapered slot antenna (TSA) in order to develop a microwave imaging reflectometer. The TSA is designed in X-band and Provided both a corrugated structure along the antenna edge and a Fermi-Dirac function type tapered slot structure, which improve radiation patterns of the TSA. We attained a 3dB-beamwidth of 32 degree in the E-plane and 37 degree in the H-plane at 12GHz. By optimizing the stripline dimensions according to the equivalent circuit model, the bandwidth of 8-18GHz with a VSWR less than 2 is obtained. Experiments of the reflectometer by using the TSA in the HITOP plasma are performed and a plasma rotation speed is measured by two channels of reflectometer with the TSA. The Fermi antenna with a corrugated structure is a good candidate for an antenna array of an imaging reflectometer.

    本研究は、水中で発生させたマイクロバブルと放電現象を組み合わせることにより従来にない新しい水質浄化法を開発することである。本年度は、昨年度に引き続き水中アーク放電による水質浄化実験を継続し、さらにアーク放電時に気体をバブリングするための電極を製作した。この装置は、円筒アクリル製の容器(直径30cm、深さ50cm)に鉄製の対向電極を設け、パルス幅200μs、最大電力40MWのアーク放電を行う。新たにこの対向電極の下部に同軸状のガス導入口を設け、任意の気体を導入できるように改良した。 今年度の実験では、空気を毎分10リットル導入し、電極周辺にバブリングを行いアーク放電を試みた。ガスを導入しない時に比べ、放電時に発生する圧力上昇は約1/10程度に減少した。一方、このガスの導入によって、放電形態(電流電圧依存、時間変化など)に大きな変化が生じることはなかった。水質浄化の評価を行うために寒天培地法による細菌培養を行い放電回数と総細菌数の関係を調べた。ガス導入あるなしに関わらず、数10回の放電で約30%程度の減菌がみられ両者とも同程度の効果が見られた。 アーク放電時に発生する紫外線やプラズマにより生成される活性分子および衝撃波のどれが浄化に効果的に作用しているかを評価することを目的として、現在、酸素などのガスを選択的に用いて活性イオン・原子種の生成を行い浄化効果を確かめる実験を進めている。今後さらにマイクロバブル発生装置の設計と電圧印加法についての基礎的な知見が得られると期待できる。

    The Aim of this research is to investigate a new plasma confinement, that is a high-beta spheromac plasma maintained in a fast-flowing plasma. The formation of magneto-plasma-vortex (MPV) is one of typical magnetohydrodynamic behaviors caused by a nonlinear interaction between electromagnetic field and plasmas. As the propagation of electromagnetic waves in fast-flowing plasma is also important issue for the formation of MPV, Alfven waves were excited and investigated as well as the formation of MVP in this research. The MPV formation experiment was performed by the coaxial plasma gun with a build-in poloidal magnetic coil. Spatial and temporal evolutions of magnetic signals have been obtained by 3-dimensional multi-channel magnetic probe array fabricated for this experiment. The formation of MPV was verified by the magnetic signal behavior when it passed through the probe array. A helicity-antenna and helical-antenna were installed in fast-flowing plasma and Alfven wave excitation experiments were performed. Compressional Alfven wave and shear Alfven wave were excited separately and their propagation properties in a fast-flowing plasma were investigated.

    The Aim of this research is to develop a large ion source which can deliver high current with low voltage. This source can be utilized in a neutral beam injector for small-scale fusion experiments and in many other applications. According to the Child-Langmuir equation, the extracted current is limited by the space charge effect in a grid-type acceleration. In a Hall-acceleration-type source, it is possible to extract a high current with a low voltage without the space charge effect. We have fabricated an ion source with the Hall-type accelarator and operated with a working gas of Ar and Xe. Beam currents and profiles was measured by a Faraday cup and a calorimeter. The beam voltage and current could be controlled independently and maximum current density of 40mA/cm^2 was obtained with a beam voltage of 90V and current of 1A. This value is 5000 times larger than the space charge limited current.

The detector array consisted of two 12-ch visible-light detectors and was able to obtain various line-emission from two different directions. A computer tomography technique was utilized to obtain a 2-D emission profile from the observed data. (2) Observation of electromagnetic instability in a plasma flow Spatial profiles obtained by the detector array were compared with those by Langmuir probes in a uniform magnetic field. It was observed that a cylindrical plasma rotated eccentrically around the center axis in a divergent magnetic field. The spatial and temporal behaviors were measured by the detector array with two filters for Hel and Hell lines. The structure of these voltex-like instabilities was also measured by a CCD camera with a fast electric shutter.

A m=0 shear Alfven wave was excited in a magnetic field configuration including a separatrix structure. It was found that the amplitude of the waves increased inside of the separatrix. Spatial profiles and temporal evolutions were measured by a multi-channel micro magnetic probe array.

    本研究の目的は、レーザー光を用いた光脱離過程を応用して、水素負イオンビームをほぼ100%中性化できる光中性化セルの実用化に向けた開発研究を行い、その設計に必要な実験データを得ることである。 光中性化セルはレーザー光を用いた光脱離反応により負イオンを中性化する手法であるが、大面積ビーム全体に十分なパワーレベルを持ったレーザー光が行き渡るかどうか、数秒以上の準定常運転に対応できるかという2点が大きな問題点となり、いまだ実用化に向けた開発研究はほとんど行われていない。本研究では種々の壁面構成(鏡面構成)を検討し、実験的にレーザー光の光強度分布を測定し、中性化に必要なレーザーパワーや光学系の最適な配置など実用可能な光セルを設計するために必要とされるデータを得るための実験を行った。 まず、空間中の光強度分布を測定するために新たに集光プローブを球面鏡と光ファイバーを用いて作成した。この光ファイバーの他端を光電子倍増管につなぐことにより高感度に光信号強度を観測できるものを準備し、プローブ先端への入射光の角度分布特性を測定した。そしてHeNeレーザー光を対向した2枚の鏡面中に入射し、上記した集光プローブを用いて鏡面構成内での光強度の空間分布の測定を行った。 効率の良い光変換のためには鏡面構成自体に集光性を持たせる必要がある。そのため焦点距離の異なる円柱鏡を2枚準備した。今後これを対向させ、その鏡面構成内にレーザー光を入射し、そのときの光強度の空間分布の測定を行っていく。さらにこの光セル中に負イオンビームを通過させ、中性化効率を測定し、測定した光パワー分布との比較を行い、効果的な鏡面構成及び光伝搬方式の検討を行っていく。

The reflectometer in the frequency range of 8-18 GHz has calibrated by using a vibrating metal plate and set at the HITOP device. The density fluctuations measured by the reflectometer agree well with that observed by Langmuir probes.

When the radial potential profile is controlled by biasing a segmented endplate, flute mode fluctuations are observed to be predominantly excited in a range of positive electric fields, while drift mode fluctuations are observed to persist in the case where the electric field is almost zero. The drift mode fluctuations are stabilized with an increase in the radial electric-field strength.

    本研究は、次世代の大電流水素負イオン源にとって必要不可欠な負イオン生成の高効率化を目指したものである。最近の研究において、従来型の多極磁場配位のプラズマ源中に少量のセシウム(Cs)蒸気を注入することにより、4-5倍以上の負イオン電流値の増大が観測された。この実験結果の検討を詳細に行ったところ、水素負イオン電流値はアークプラズマ生成に必要なアーク電力のみに依存し、アーク電圧や電流には直接には依存していないことが明らかになった。一方でプローブ測定の結果、電極近傍での電子密度はアーク電力一定の条件でアーク電圧を増加させればそれとともに増加する。つまり電極近傍のイオン密度も変化していると考えられるが、それにもかかわらず負イオン電流値は変化していない。この結果から負イオン生成にはプラズマ中で生成される水素イオンではなく水素原子が大きく寄与しているものと推測される。したがって、アークプラズマを用いなくとも他の方法、たとえば高温の金属表面での水素分子の解離や電離により水素原子やイオンを生成し、これらのプラズマ電極に衝突させれば同じように高効率に負イオンが生成されるものと考えられる。 そこで高温のモリブデンメッシュを多重に重ねて、この中を水素ガスを通過させ、金属表面での熱解離によりこれを解離あるいは電離させる構造を持ったイオン源を制作した。この時、ガスの流入量やメッシュの温度を制御することにより負イオンの生成効率を制御できる。現在までのところ期待される負イオン電流値は得られていないが、これはメッシュ部の温度をより高温にし解離効率を上げることにより効率よく水素負イオンが得られると期待される。さらに今後この直接変換方式による負イオン生成効率を従来のアークプラズマを用いた方式と比較し、さらに高効率な負イオン源を開発していく。

    Development of large-diameter uniform plasma sources is of crucial importance for performing a wide-area plasma processing. In order to produce such a uniform plasma a plane-slotted antenna with permanent magnets has been developed to produce an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma at Tohoku University. This method successfully provides a large-diameter ECR plasma with a uniformity of (]SY.+-.])(3-5)% over a diameter of 40-50 cm. Moreover, a modified magnetron typed plasma source developed at Tohoku University also provides large-diameter uniform radio-frequency (RF) plasmas. On the other hand, high density plasma sources are studied at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (Kaist) by using helicon wave heating and inductively coupled plasma production methods at the RF frequency. The diagnostic method employing optical probe has also been developed to evaluate the radical density and its profile in reactive plasmas. The main purpose of this project is to combine such results obtained at Tohoku University and the KAIST to develop a large-diameter uniform plasma source for the wide-area plasma processing. During the project we had two seminars at the KAIST to discuss about the problems and techniques for detecting the uniformity of radical density supplied from the plane ECR antenna plasma source at Tohoku University. The experiments show the importance of radial profile of plasma parameters.

    In order to study basic properties of toroidal plasmas by pellet injection, it is extremely desirable for the pellet injector to be reproducible and to be controllable. Until now, several injectors were developed in some places, where one could vary pellet size to a certain extent. However, they could vary it only in a discrete manner. In our present study, a new injector has been designed and constructed in order to develop a technique with continuous size-controllability. The injector has been developed so as to vary a pellet size by using a special technique of a pellet-length limiting rod. The first results were not satisfactory ; that is, the obtained pellet sizes were not consistent with the presetting values. The reason was ocnsidered to be partially because that an attachment force of solid hydrogen and metal surface of the length-limiting rod might have disturbed the expected operation, and partially because that the pressure of hydrogen gas for producing ice pellet might also have disturbed the expected operation. Various materials has been tested as a head of length-limiting rod and as a coating stuff on it. Experiments for comparison ofthe results with and without the hydrogen gas in the ice pellet production part have also been carried out. In addition to these studies, the effect of various shape of the pellet production cavity has been examined, which might have some influence in rsisting the attachment force of a pellet and the rod. Those results showed each effect to some extent, but each of it was not a perfect one. Finally the improvement of the operaiton procedure in controlling a pellet size has been considered and tested. The idea is to change the pellet production position in order to eliminate the possibility of attachment of solid hydrogen and the surface of the length-limiting rod. The final results show very good agreemtne between the observed size and the presetting value. The pellet size has been measured by using a high-speed framing photograph just after the ejection from the muzzle. Thus, the technique will become a useful method for this field. By using this newly developed injector, various injection experiments have been carried out, and several interesting phenomena have been observed.

    The objectives of this project are Evolution of high current negative ion source and Construction of data base which is needed for design of negative ion based NBI, especically high current negative ion sources. To attain the objectives we researched the present status of negative ion development at many laboratories in E. C and U. S. A under the collaboration with Culham Laboratory, Ecole Polytechnique and Berkeley Laboratory. Bucket type negative ion source was mainly researched for the optimization of source in pure volume production operation and operation with Cs because of its promissing experimental results. As the results of analysis of experimental data for some issues, the followings are obtained as data base for design of high current hydrogen negative ion source. 1. Experimets for optimization of pure volume source support Tandem model concept of negative ion production. Especially, the plasma parameter measurement by probe shows that the electron temperature in the extraction region is required to be less than 1eV. To realize this condition, a magnetic filter is important to separate the extraction region from the driver region. 2. In the operation mode with Cs, negative ions are mainly produced at low work function wall surface covered with Cs but it is still important condition to keep the electron temperature in the extraction region around 1eV. Detailed data for following physical and technical issues are obtained : 1. Position and strength of magnetic filter, 2. Relation between negative ion current density and extraction aperture radius, 3. Electron suppression in the beam extraction, 4. Bias potential to electrode, 5. R. F negative ion source which is expected as a steady operation source. At the present status of knowledge it is concluded that bucket type negative ion source wit h Cs is most promising high current negative ion source for NBI.

    各種プラズマへの適用が進められているペレット入射研究においては、インジェクタ-が多段の差動排気を必要とすることから、装置長が長くなり(通常5m以上)またその軸合せの精度と射出バラツキが実験の再現性を左右している。更にプラズマへの入射方向の可変性のためには、装置全体を一定角度回転するような、大がかりな機構を必要とする。本研究は、ガイドチュ-ブ中のアイスペレットの通過特性(チュ-ブの材料・径・長さ・曲率及び温度依存性)を詳細に調べることにより、フレキシブルチュ-ブを用いての入射法を実現・確立することを目的として行った。 1.通過特性測定系整備 ガイドチュ-ブ通過特性の正確な定量化のため、入射前後のペレット飛行中でのサイズ(質量)、形状、及び速度の測定のため、その計測系の整備を行い、測定を行った。 2.通過特性実験 アイスペレット通過特性実験として、実験の再現性を確実にするため、インジェクタ-自身の極低温運転中の中心部の温度分布を詳細に測定するなどして研究を進めた結果、安定な動作領域と動作方法を見い出した。また、これらと射出確立・速度並びに方向との相関についても実験を行った。 3.プラズマへの入射実験 JIPPーTIIUプラズマの入射実験を行い、通常の計測系並びに2次元のCCDカメラ測定などにより、プラズマ中でのペレットのアプレ-ション及びフロ-に関して、興味ある現象をとらえることに成功した。 すなわち、入射角がある程度以上(θ【greater than or equal】7゚)では、アブレ-ション量が少なくプラズマ中をほぼ直線的に通過して行くが、入射角がそれ以下では、アブレ-ションした粒子がトロイダル方向にねじられて流れており、考察の結果、これはプラズマ回転による

    本研究の目的は、サイクロトロンメーザーとして高効率で高調波発振が可能 なペニオトロンの発振実験を行うことである。この技術を利用することにより テラヘルツ領域で数10W以上の出力が出せる高出力テラヘルツ波光源を開発 し、ITERなど核融合プラズマでの計測用光源としてだけでなく、種々の応用研 究の進展に寄与することを目指す。 核融合研究で用いられているジャイロトロンなどサイクロトロンメーザー装 置は容易に高出力の電磁波を得ることができるが、電子サイクロトロン周波数 によって出力周波数が決定されるため、1THz以上の周波数を基本調波で得 るに36テスラ以上の高磁場が必要となり、実用上の高い障壁となっている。 必要な磁場強度を数テスラ程度にするためには高調波動作が必須である。東北 大学で開発されてきたペニオトロンは10倍から20倍高調波でも効率の低下 を招くことが無く、高出力のテラヘルツ波光源として期待され開発実験を行ってきた。しかし、組織換えなどにより発振動作実験に精通した人材が不足し十 分な研究の発展が見込めない。ジャイロトロンの動作やミリ波に関する豊富な 知識と技術の蓄積のある核融合研との共同研究により、開発研究の進展が期待できる。
