The spatial phase transition of micro/nano particles and its effect on the cleaning efficiency of laser-plasma shock wave cleaning

Abstract

AbstractPlasma cleaning is an effective method for removing micro/nanoparticle particles, thus solving the pollution problem of micro/nanoparticle instruments. However, the lack of research on the phase transition evolution law of micro/nanoparticles under the action of plasma affects the popularization and application of this method and is the key factor that affects the cleaning quality. The focus of this study is to analyze this law. Through experimental observation and finite element simulation, the spatial phase transition distribution characteristics of particles and the influence law of laser parameters are analyzed. Moreover, the effect of the particle phase transition on the cleaning process is discussed. The removal threshold and the best removal area of different particles are presented, and a reference and guidance for the follow-up development of laser-plasma shock wave removal technology are provided.
