    Analysis of C2 SWAN bands in ablation-dominated arcs in CO2 atmosphere
    (Praha : Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Physics, 2019) Methling, R.; Franke, St.; Götte, N.; Wetzeler, S.; Uhrlandt, D.
    A model circuit breaker in a high-pressure chamber filled with CO2 atmosphere is used to operate a wall-stabilized arc of several kilo-amperes between tungsten-copper electrodes surrounded by polytetrafluoroethylene nozzles. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is carried out via quartz plates inserted into the nozzles using a combination of an imaging spectrometer either with a high-speed video camera or with an ICCD camera. Depending on the nozzle geometry and the current, continuum from C2 Swan bands was detected as absorption as well as emission pattern. After current zero, optical absorption spectroscopy (OAS) using a xenon flashlamp as broadband background radiator was applied. An absorption around 493 nm was detected and attributed to CuF molecules. The study proofs the existence of C2 in the active phase and the formation of CuF near to current zero.

    Analysis of erosion resistance of CuC arcing contacts manufactured by plasma spraying technology
    (Praha : Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Physics, 2019) Derevyankin, P.; Frolov, V.; Gonzalez, D.; Gortschakow, S.; Methling, R.; Uhrlandt, D.
    Results of the erosion resistance study of the CuC electrodes manufactured by plasma spraying technology are presented. The diagnostics has have been performed by means of high-speed camera technique and optical emission spectroscopy which has been synchronised with electrical diagnostics. After the load material analyses, namely determination of mass loss and analysis of micro sections, have been done. It has been found that the erosion rate depends on conditions applied for the formation of coating layer, which was deposited either in air or in argon plasma. Furthermore, the erosion rate is significantly lower in the case of air plasma spraying.

    On the interaction of a microwave excited oxygen plasma with a jet of precursor material for deposition applications
    (Praha : Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Physics, 2019) Methling, R.; Hempel, F.; Baeva, M.; Trautvetter, T.; Baierl, H.; Foest, R.
    A plasma source based on a microwave discharge at atmospheric pressure is used to produce an oxygen plasma torch. A liquid precursor material is evaporated and injected into the torch through a nozzle, causing oxidization and deposition of silica at a nearby quartz substrate. The temperature generated inside the plasma source and in the plume, in the region of treatment, and at the substrate surface are key parameters, which are needed for process description and optimization of plasma-chemical reactions. Optical emission spectroscopy and thermography were applied to observe and characterize the jet behavior and composition. The experimental results are compared with self-consistent modeling.
