Abstract

Introduction: Nanosecond discharges in high-pressure gases between metal electrodes are promising for applications in selective "point" UV lamps. The most investigated working media of such lamps are copper and iron vapors in the air, which are excited by a high-voltage discharge of subnanosecond duration. The use of various metal electrodes in one discharge gap and discharge excitation pulses with an amplitude of 20–40 kV and a duration of 50–100 ns is little studied, which is important for controlling the spectral characteristics of the lamp and producing complex oxide nanostructures based on two different metals. Also important is the use of such discharges for the synthesis of nanostructures of transition metal oxides in assisting the deposition process with hard UV radiation, which allows to improve some of their characteristics.

Purpose: The aim of the work is to study the electrical and emission characteristics of a bipolar overstressed nanosecond discharge between stainless steel and copper electrodes in atmospheric pressure and to synthesize and study the optical characteristics of thin films deposited on a glass substrate from the sputtered products of metal electrodes in an air plasma.

Methods: We used an optical spectroscopic method for studying the discharge plasma.

Results: The results of a study of the electrical characteristics of overstressed nanosecond discharge in air at atmospheric pressure between stainless steel electrodes and copper and stainless electrodes found that it is a source of UV radiation from atoms and iron and copper ions in the spectral range 200-300 nm. The peak value of the electric power of the discharge is ~ 4 MW, and the energy contribution to the plasma per pulse was ~ 0.1 J. The developed point source of UV radiation based on the discharge between the copper and stainless electrode is promising for applications in medicine and sanitation. It has been established that under the assistantance by UV-radiation the developed “point” source in the nanostructures of iron oxides, enlightenment bands appear in the visible region of the spectrum.

Conclusion: Experiments revealed the suitability of this discharge for use in a selective "point" UV lamp on iron and copper vapor and deposition of nanostructured films based on iron oxides while assisting the process of deposition by UV radiation.
