ABSTRACT In spite of abundant experimental evidences supporting the viability of the laserinduced shock wave plasma model for the explanation of the important features oftheplasma and the associated spectroscopic characteristics, a controversy on the atomicexcitation mechanism in the plasma has remained to be completely resolved. In thisstudy the contributions of the shock wave model and two other most popular models,the electron-ion recombination model and thc electron collision model werethoroughly investigated. For that purpose, a special technique has been developed forthe direct detection of the charge current in conjunction with plasma emissionmeasurement dining the laser plasma generation and expansion. The current detectionwas performed by placing a partially transmitting metal mesh electrode at a distancein front of the sample surface with the sample target sewing as the counter electrode.The electric Held between the mesh and sample surface was set up and varied byapplying a variable DC voltage (0-400 Volt) between them. The laser plasma wasgenerated by a YAG laser (64 ml, 8 ns) tightly focused on a Cu target through themesh electrode in low-pressure surrounding gas. It was found that the charge currenttime profiles obtained at various gas pressures invariably exhibit a lack of consistentcorrelation with the emission time profile of the plasma throughout most of theemission period. The result of this study has thus practically eliminated anysignificant roles ofthe electron-ion recombination and electron collision models in theexcitation process. We are therefore led to conclude that the shock wave modelproposed earlier is most plausible for the consistent explanation of the secondaryplasma emission, while the other two models may have some contribution only at thevery initial stage ofthe secondary plasma generation.Key words: charge current, shock wave, electron-ion recombination and electroncollision.Praiseci is to the Lord for He is my reason in everything I do.This manuscript is never be done without the guidance by Pro£ Tjia May On, towhom I am extremely grateful. He also provided the support without which this thesiswould not possible. He is more than just a teacher for me for his words have deeplytouched me. Moreover, he also introduced me that knowledge is something we shouldshare among others and to improve the education in my country.I am also indebted to Prof. Kiichiro Kagawa at the Fukui University for providingthe atmosphere and the physical resources to make thesis writing in these times of fastpaced research. I am also thankful for the opportunity which is given to me to joinresearch together with him in his laboratory in Japan.Extra special thanks go to Dr. Hendrik Kurniawan for providing me withencouragement and support for this project. He is the first one who encouraged me totake Doctor Cotuse Program which seemed impossible at the beginning. Hiscompanion during research at Applied Spectroscopy Laboratory at University ofIndonesia is a leading experience in research for me.I am particularly grateful to the excellent team of referees who provided criticalcomments on this thesis. Their feedback was a great benefit to me.I gratefully acknowledge all my colleagues: Rinda Hedwig, Mangasi A.Marpaung, Hery Suyanto, MM. Suliyanti, Wahyu S. Budi, and Emon in AppliedSpectroscopy Laboratory at University of Indonesia, for their assistance and supportduring my study.My never-ending thanks to my beloved family, especially to my parents whoexhibited thoughtful patience over extended periods of time when I seemed to beinvisible. Thanks also to Loviana who helped me in all situations which I no longercan resist by myselflFinally, I apologize to all those who helped that I did not acknowledge specifically.I know there were many and greatly appreciate your assistance.August, 2002Author |
