| Research Abstract |
In this research project, numerical simulation of non-thermal atmospheric-pressure hydrocarbon plasmas has been conducted using a one-dimensional fluid model, in order to examine whether volumetric and radially-uniform atmospheric-pressure plasmas can be obtained. Usually, hydrocarbon plasmas at low-pressure can be utilized for the fabrication of nanocarbon materials such as diamond-like carbon, diamond, graphene, carbon nanotube, etc. As a result, it is clarified that the volumetric and radially-uniform plasmas at atmospheric-pressure hydrocarbon gas, which are suitable for novel technique of plasma CVD, can not be produced, since electron multiplication, which is important factor for plasma generation, tends to increase rapidly under atmospheric-pressure hydrocarbon condition. Therefore, we need to further investigation on this project, in order to overcome this problem.
