TY - CONF A1 - Gornushkin, Igor B. A1 - Shabanov, Sergej V. T1 - Modeling chemical reactions in laser induced plasmas N2 - Under the assumption of local thermal equilibrium, a numerical algorithm is proposed to find the equation of state for laser-induced plasmas (LIPs) in which chemical reactions are permitted in addition to ionization processes. The Coulomb interaction in plasma is accounted for by the Debye–Hückel method. The algorithm is used to calculate the equation of state for LIPs containing carbon, silicon, calcium, chlorine, nitrogen, and argon. The equilibrium reaction constants are calculated using the latest experimental and ab initio data of spectroscopic constants for the molecules N2, C2, Si2, CN, Cl2, SiN, SiC, CaCl, CaCl2 and their positive and (if existed) negative ions. The algorithm is incorporated into a fluid dynamic numerical model based on the Navier–Stokes equations describing an expansion of LIP plumes into an ambient gas. The dynamics of LIP plumes obtained by the ablation of SiC, CaCl2, solid silicon, or solid carbon in an ambient gas containing N2 and Ar is simulated to study formation of molecules and molecular ions. A particular attention is paid to formation of anions Cl−, Cl2−, Si2−, C2−, CN−, and SiN− in LIPs.

A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - Modeling and diagnostics of laser induced plasma for needs of spectrochemical analysis N2 - Two topics will be addressed: (1) calibration-free LIBS based on Monte Carlo spectral optimization and (2) insight into the possibility of simultaneous elemental and molecular analysis by LIBS. Both topics heavily rely on modeling of laser induced plasma and are closely connected to experiment. In Monte Carlo LIBS (MC LIBS), concentrations are found by fitting model-generated synthetic spectra to experimental spectra. The model of a static uniform isothermal plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium is employed. Many configurations of plasma parameters and their corresponding spectra are simultaneously generated using a graphic processing unit (GPU). Using the GPU allows for the reduction of computational time down to several minutes for one experimental spectrum that presents the significant progress in comparison with earlier versions of MC LIBS. The method is tested by analyzing industrial oxides containing various concentrations of CaO, Fe2O3, MgO, and TiO2. The agreement within several percent between found and certified concentrations is achieved. Next, a newly developed collisional-dominated model of a laser induced plasma is introduced. The model includes the coupled Navier-Stokes, state, radiative transfer, and material transport equations and incorporates plasma chemistry through the equilibrium approach based on the use of atomic and molecular partition functions. Simple chemical systems are modeled including ablation of Si and C in N2 and Ar atmospheres.The model is used to study evolution of number densities of atomic and molecular species in the expanding plasma plume. The distribution is compared to experimental observations obtained by optical imaging and tomography.

T1 - Improved algorithm for calibration-free laser induced breakdown spectroscopy N2 - An improved algorithm for calibration-free laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF LIBS) is presented which includes several novel features in comparison with previously proposed similar algorithms. In particular, it allows using spectral lines with arbitrary optical thickness for the construction of Saha-Boltzmann plots, retrieves the absorption path length (plasma diameter) directly from a spectrum, replaces the Lorentzian line profile function by the Voigt function, and allows for self-absorption correction using pre-calculated and tabulated data rather than approximating functions. The tabulated data embody the solutions of the radiative transfer equation for numerous combinations of optical thicknesses and line widths. The algorithm is thoroughly verified with synthetic spectra.

T1 - Laser induced plasma: Modeling, diagnostics, and applications N2 - Laser-induced plasmas are widely used in many areas of science and technology; examples include spectrochemical analysis, thin film deposition, material processing, and even jet propulsion. Several topics will be addressed. First, general phenomenology of laser-induced plasmas will be discussed. Then, a chemical model will be presented based on a coupled solution of Navier-Stokes, state, radiative transfer, material transport, and chemical (Guldberg-Waage) equations. Results of computer simulations for several chemical systems will be shown and compared to experimental observations obtained by optical imaging, spectroscopy, and tomography. The latter diagnostic tools will also be briefly discussed. Finally, a prospective application of laser-induced plasma and plasma modeling will be illustrated on the example of calibration-free MC LIBS (Monte Carlo Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy), in which concentrations of elements in materials are found by fitting model-generated and experimental spectra.
