description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Ranching of Atlantic salmon in Iceland started with the establishment of Kollafjörður Experimental Fish Farm in 1961 (Guðjónsson 1973). The first smolts were released in 1964 with considerable returns of salmon in 1965. The primary purpose of the fish farm was to strengthen aquaculture and enhancement efforts in Iceland by developing good quality salmon smolts (Ísaksson 1976). The release experiments and subsequent returns of salmon to the fish farm led to a pilot ranching operation, which provided considerable income to the farm. Several smaller release operations started in the 1960s such as the Lárós ranching station in the Breiðafjörður area and Súgandafjörður release site on the northwest peninsula ( Ísaksson and Óskarsson 1986). The introduction of coded wire tags (CWT) to Iceland in the 1970s (Ísaksson and Bergman 1978) was a major technological breakthrough in the methodology used to evaluate sea survival and return-rates to ranching facilities. These tags have since that time been exclusively used to evaluate return-rates of wild and ranched smolt and provided valuable information on straying between ranching facilities and into salmon rivers (Ísaksson et.al. 1997). Important information on the feeding and behaviour of ranched salmon has also been aquired through the recapture of tagged and untagged postsmolts in coastal waters (Sturlaugsson 2000) and through the use of Data Storage Tags (Sturlaugsson et. al. 1997). The main impetus for conducting salmon ranching in Iceland is the fact that no salmon fishery is allowed within Iceland´s territorial limits and salmon are thus only harvested in terminal fisheries, mostly by angling. Exempted were a few sites with heritable netting rights, which now have been closed down.
Beef practice model

description: Rural mixed animal and beef practices are rapidly and continually being challenged to change and meet the needs of rural communities. Cross Timbers Veterinary Hospital (CTVH) in North Texas has attempted to meet this challenge by recognizing, addressing and overcoming five "road blocks" to adaptation. The "road blocks" are self-imposed by most rural practitioners and include "vapor-locking", "clairvoyance", "failing to fail", "blue-lighting" and "not sharing". These limitations lock practices into a cycle of non-adaptation leading to eventual failure. CTVH addressed these problems in a systematic approach determining what the clinicians wanted, what the livestock producers wanted and finding what services could be offered for each to make a profit. The practice continues to move forward, not always smoothly, by expanding and changing services, modernizing their fee schedule and adapting to their new role in the livestock industry.

description: We investigate two-dimensional image decomposition of nearby, morphologically selected early-type galaxies (ETGs). We are motivated by recent observational evidence of significant size growth of quiescent galaxies and theoretical development advocating a two-phase formation scenario for ETGs. We find that a significant fraction of nearby ETGs show changes in isophotal shape that require multi-component models. The characteristic sizes of the inner and outer component are $\sim 3$ and $\sim 15$ kpc. The inner component lies on the mass-size relation of ETGs at $z \sim 0.25-0.75$, while the outer component tends to be more elliptical and hints at a stochastic buildup process. We find real physical differences between the single- and double-component ETGs, with the double-component galaxies being younger and more metal-rich. The fraction of double component ETGs increases with increasing $σ$ and decreases in denser environments. We hypothesize that double-component systems were able to accrete gas and small galaxies until later times, boosting their central densities, building up their outer parts, and lowering their typical central ages. In contrast, the oldest galaxies, perhaps due to residing in richer environments, have no remaining hints of their last accretion episode.

Nature of the Warm Absorber Outflow in NGC 4051

description: The Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051 is known to exhibit significant X-ray spectral/flux variations and have a number of emission/absorption features. X-ray observations have revealed that these absorption features are blueshifted, which indicates that NGC 4051 has warm absorber outflow. In order to constrain physical parameters of the warm absorber outflow, we analyze the archival data with the longest exposure taken by XMM-Newton in 2009. We calculate the root-mean-square (RMS) spectra with the grating spectral resolution for the first time. The RMS spectra have a sharp peak and several dips, which can be explained by variable absorption features and non-variable emission lines; a lower-ionized warm absorber (WA1: $\logξ= 1.5,\, v=-650\,\mathrm{km\,s}^{-1}$) shows large variability, whereas higher-ionized warm absorbers (WA2: $\logξ= 2.5,\,v=-4100\,\mathrm{km\,s}^{-1}$, WA3: $\logξ= 3.4,\, v=-6100\,\mathrm{km\,s}^{-1}$) show little variability. WA1 shows the maximum variability at a timescale of $\sim10^4$~s, suggesting that the absorber locates at $\sim10^3$ times of the Schwarzschild radius. The depth of the absorption features due to WA1 and the observed soft X-ray flux are anti-correlated in several observational sequences, which can be explained by variation of partial covering fraction of the double-layer blobs that are composed of the Compton-thick core and the ionized layer ($=$WA1). WA2 and WA3 show little variability and presumably extend uniformly in the line of sight. The present result shows that NGC 4051 has two types of the warm absorber outflows; the static, high-ionized and extended line-driven disk winds, and the variable, low-ionized and clumpy double-layer blobs.

description: Process induced efficiency variation is a major concern for all thin film solar cells, including the emerging perovskite based solar cells. In this manuscript, we address the effect of pinholes or process induced surface coverage aspects on the efficiency of such solar cells through detailed numerical simulations. Interestingly, we find the pinhole size distribution affects the short circuit current and open circuit voltage in contrasting manners. Specifically, while the Jsc is heavily dependent on the pinhole size distribution, surprisingly, the Voc seems to be only nominally affected by it. Further, our simulations also indicate that, with appropriate interface engineering, it is indeed possible to design a nanostructured device with efficiencies comparable to that of ideal planar structures. Additionally, we propose a simple technique based on terminal IV characteristics to estimate the surface coverage in perovskite solar cells.

description: PATTERN project

The EU-funded PATTERN project aims at promoting the practice of Open and Responsible Research and Innovation (Open RRI) by developing and testing trainings for researchers at all stages of their careers. The project has defined 8 main transferable skills on Open RRI: Open Access; FAIR data management; Citizen Science; Research Integrity; Gender, Non-discrimination and Inclusion in research; Dissemination and Exploitation of results; Science communication; Management and Leadership. For each of them, specific training modules are being developed and tested in 14 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and made publicly accessible on the PATTERN platform, which includes Openplato learning tool from OpenAIRE.

Moreover, PATTERN will address authorities responsible for researcher training, presenting evidence-based recommendations on educational policies to empower HEIs in contributing to bridge the gap between science and society.

Discussion of results and highlights of the training roadmap

This poster will provide an overview of PATTERN methodology, discuss the results of the first year of the project and highlight the main actions from the training roadmap. In particular, it will focus on three aspects:

1. Consolidated knowledge about the existing trainings on Open RRI and learning opportunities for researchers, identifying existing gaps, as the basis for the development of PATTERN training actions.

2. The analysis of European policies focusing on understanding how they contribute to including Open RRI practices in trainings and training materials aimed at researchers.

3. The Training roadmap to be developed and that will be co-designed and fine-tuned within PATTERN Consortium, understanding what will be the opportunities from the community (HEIs and RPOs) to make use of the PATTERN training modules.

Conclusion

The establishment of the EU level baseline will be a basis for further analysis on how the EU approach is embedded at national level in the countries hosting the PATTERN pilots. The findings of the two-level policy mapping, in addition to building on the mapping of trainings, will be a cornerstone for co-creating policy recommendations with and for EU and national authorities, as well as for actors in HEIs and RPOs.

description: We examine situations, where representations of a finite-dimensional $F$-algebra $A$ defined over a separable extension field $K/F$, have a unique minimal field of definition. Here the base field $F$ is assumed to be a $C_1$-field. In particular, $F$ could be a finite field or $k(t)$ or $k((t))$,where $k$ is algebraically closed. We show that a unique minimal field of definition exists if (a) $K/F$ is an algebraic extension or (b) $A$ is of finite representation type. Moreover, in these situations the minimal field of definition is a finite extension of $F$. This is not the case if $A$ is of infinite representation type or $F$ fails to be $C_1$. As a consequence, we compute the essential dimension of the functor of representations of a finite group, generalizing a theorem of N. Karpenko, J. Pevtsova and the second author.

description: Animal welfare has become a major concern for the meat-consuming public. While the vast majority of producers take the welfare of their livestock very seriously, groups opposed to animal agriculture have been able to expose, by undercover video, acts of blatant abuse on multiple animal agriculture operations. In the past, producer organizations have made attempts to establish animal welfare programs, but these were actually little more than generalized animal welfare statements. As consumers have requested more knowledge and transparency in how their food is produced, producers (and their respective associations) have responded positively. One of the ways that the beef industry has responded is by designing animal welfare programs that apply objective measurements. The application of this type of program has become not only a benchmark for animal handlers, but it can also be used as a tool for education and assessing progress.

description: The degree of thermalization of electronically excited state manifolds of an absorber can be tested via optical spectroscopy. In the thermalized-manifold case, the ratio of absorption and emission is expected to follow a universal Boltzmann-type frequency scaling, known as the Kennard-Stepanov relation. Here, we investigate absorption and emission spectral profiles of rubidium, cesium, and potassium molecular dimers in a high-pressure argon buffer-gas environment and study the effect of collisionally induced redistribution. We find that, despite the use of nonlinear excitation techniques, the ratio of absorption and emission well follows the Kennard-Stepanov scaling for a variety of molecular transitions. We conclude that the upper electronic state rovibrational manifold of the molecular gas is well in thermodynamic equilibrium. Further, we demonstrate an accurate, calibration-free determination of the gas temperature from the measured spectroscopic data.

description: Use of the Number Needed to Treat (NNT) statistic allows for evaluation and communication of reasonable treatment outcome expectations in populations. The NNT value for a treatment estimates the number of animals which need to be treated in order to make an outcome difference in 1 animal. Evaluation of negative control studies for bovine respiratory disease suggests that the NNT values in high-risk calves for creating a treatment success, prevention of a mortality, and prevention of a clinical case through treatment for control of BRD are 2, 7, and 5, respectively. These values will obviously vary significantly in different clinical situations, but give reasonable expectations for the use of multiple antimicrobials in different groups of cattle over time.

description: Driven-dissipative systems in two dimensions can differ substantially from their equilibrium counterparts. In particular, a dramatic loss of off-diagonal algebraic order and superfluidity has been predicted to occur due to the interplay between coherent dynamics and external drive and dissipation in the thermodynamic limit. We show here that the order adopted by the system can be substantially altered by a simple, experimentally viable, tuning of the driving process. More precisely, by considering the long-wavelength phase dynamics of a polariton quantum fluid in the optical parametric oscillator regime, we demonstrate that simply changing the strength of the pumping mechanism in an appropriate parameter range can substantially alter the level of effective spatial anisotropy induced by the driving laser, and move the system into distinct scaling regimes. These include: (i) the classic algebraically ordered superfluid below the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition, as in equilibrium; (ii) the non-equilibrium, long-wave-length fluctuation dominated Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) phase; and the two associated topological defect dominated disordered phases caused by proliferation of (iii) entropic BKT vortex-antivortex pairs or (iv) repelling vortices in the KPZ phase. Further, by analysing the renormalization group flow in a finite system, we examine the length scales associated with these phases, and assess their observability in current experimental conditions.

description: Antimicrobial use in food animals has come under increased scrutiny over the past decade, due to concerns related to antimicrobial resistance. Some reports have indicated that the vast bulk of antimicrobial use occurs in food animals, although many question the accuracy of those reports. Beef cattle producers and veterinarians recognize that antibiotic use is a concern, and have taken steps to educate consumers about antimicrobial use. They have also taken steps to evaluate how they use antimicrobials, and worked to use antimicrobials in an even more judicious manner. Cattle Empire, a large cattle feeding company, has taken a proactive approach to judicious use principles in its animal health program.

description: Production records can be used to measure herd performance. They identify potential areas for improvement and lead to management decisions to address these areas. These decisions are then evaluated by monitoring performance with production records, continuing the cycle. A variety of software programs can be used to manage production records efficiently. Spreadsheet programs are more suited to individual management events, while database programs allow one to analyze farms both across multiple years on the herd level and on an individual-cow basis. With both types of programs, appropriate reports can be generated for the management team to evaluate and analyze together.

description: The definition of stewardship from Webster's dictionary is "the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care". As livestock stewards, we have a responsibility to manage and utilize the resource of cull animals. Cattle culled from beef and dairy herds fill an important role in meeting the nutritional needs of consumers. Currently the US population consumes approximately 60 lb (27 .2 kg) of beef per person each year. Of this, nearly 50% is consumed as ground beef, and one of the primary uses of cull cattle is the production of ground beef. Based on cow-calf budgets the estimate of the income contribution of cull cows to the gross returns are approximately 15%. With proper care, feeding, and good marketing, there is opportunity to increase the market value of cull cows through weight gain, and a change in the grading category to meet the high standards of our food production system, and to provide a more acceptable product to our consumers.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This paper presents results from the EC Study Project 99/016 Data collection for stock assessment of two hakes (Merluccius hubbsi and M. australis) in international and Falkland waters of the SW Atlantic. Historical fishery and biological data series available from IEO (1988 onwards) were used to describe and quantify patterns and spatio-temporal changes in catches and discards in the hake fishery. Data were collected by scientific observers on board Spanish fishing vessels operating in the study area. Data collected on fishing activity included effort, catches and discards of target and non-target species on a haul-by-haul basis. Biological information (size, sex, maturity, etc) on target species was recorded on a daily basis, while biological data on non-target species was recorded periodically. The discards ratio was calculated by each haul, defined as the total weight of fish discarded divided by the total catch weight. The most important by-catch species are hoki or whiptailed hake (Macruronus magellanicus), red cod (Salilota australis), southern blue whiting (Micromesistius australis), Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) and kingclip (Genypterus blacodes),. Discards included both target and non-target species. The most commonly discarded species were Patagonotothen spp. (almost 100% of the catch is discarded), whiptailed hake (Macruronus magellanicus) (25% discarded), southern blue whiting (12%) and red cod (6%). These percentages vary with area, year and fishing season. The four target species (Merluccius hubbsi, Merluccius australis, Illex argentinus and Loligo gahi) have discard ratios below 5%. In recent years discard ratios for all species except Patagonotothen spp. have fallen below 15%.
Pre-weaning pneumonia in cow-calf herds

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2013

description: The risk factors associated with outbreaks of pneumonia in pre-weaned beef calves are not as well characterized as those associated with bovine respiratory disease in post-weaned calves. Therefore, the expertise of veterinarians is often called upon to investigate these outbreaks with the goal of identifying pertinent risk factors that may be avoided in subsequent years. Field investigations of pre-weaning beef calf pneumonia cases should begin with a review of the facts surrounding the operation, their animals, and their management. Veterinarians should attempt to describe the outbreak in terms of the animals, their locations, and timing. Among the most critical items to determine are a workable case definition that differentiates an affected calf from a non-affected calf, and dates of illness onset. When a good understanding of the various risk factors present in the outbreak is obtained, the calves and their environment should be examined to further add to the information set. Antemortem diagnostics should be considered only when there is a clear understanding of how the results will be used. In many cases, however, testing for the presence of bovine viral diarrhea virus persistently infected animals may be a worthy consideration. Significant risk factors for the herd's pre-weaning beef calf pneumonia problems may be determined simply from review of the information gained from the history and examination. Otherwise, simple calculations of incidence rates between calves in different risk factor categories, as well as risk ratios and construction of histograms, may be useful to help determine significant risk factors for the herd.

description: Annual migration is common across animal taxa and can dramatically shape the spatial and temporal patterns of infectious disease. Although migration can decrease infection prevalence in some contexts, these energetically costly long-distance movements can also have immunosuppressive effects that may interact with transmission processes in complex ways. Here, we develop a mechanistic model for the reactivation of latent infections driven by physiological changes or energetic costs associated with migration (i.e. ‘migratory relapse’) and its effects on disease dynamics. We determine conditions under which migratory relapse can amplify or reduce infection prevalence across pathogen and host traits (e.g. infectious periods, virulence, overwinter survival, timing of relapse) and transmission phenologies. We show that relapse at either the start or end of migration can dramatically increase prevalence across the annual cycle and may be crucial for maintaining pathogens with low transmissibility and short infectious periods in migratory populations. Conversely, relapse at the start of migration can reduce the prevalence of highly virulent pathogens by amplifying culling of infected hosts during costly migration, especially for highly transmissible pathogens and those transmitted during migration or the breeding season. Our study provides a mechanistic foundation for understanding the spatio-temporal patterns of relapsing infections in migratory hosts, with implications for zoonotic surveillance and understanding how infection patterns will respond to shifts in migratory propensity associated with environmental change. Further, our work suggests incorporating within-host processes into population-level models of pathogen transmission may be crucial for reconciling the range of migration–infection relationships observed across migratory species.

BRD in preweaned calves
Creators: name: Woolums, Amelia R.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2013

description: Surveys of cow-calf producers indicate that undifferentiated bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in preweaned beef calves is recognized on approximately 20% of operations. In the US, BRD is reported to be the leading cause of death in preweaning calves 3 weeks of age and older. As compared to feedlot BRD or dairy calf BRD, relatively little information has been published regarding the epidemiology of preweaning beef calf BRD, or risk factors for the problem. However, the available information indicates that the annual incidence of preweaning calf BRD varies significantly between herds, and between years in herds that experience the problem. Calves identified with preweaning BRD have been found to weigh less at weaning than calves not identified with preweaning BRD. While more research is needed, evidence available to date indicates that at the calf level, male calves, calves born with a twin, calves born to a heifer, and calves that experience dystocia requiring major assistance are at increased risk for preweaning BRD. At the herd level, factors that have been associated with pre weaning calf BRD include those that may 1) increase the opportunity for introduction of pathogens new to the herd; 2) increase susceptibility of calves to infection; and/or 3) increase opportunity for close contact among cows and calves within the herd. Because risk factors to date have been identified in cross-sectional surveys and thus are not necessarily causative, more research is needed to confirm the factors that cause preweaning calf BRD, and to identify practices that can mitigate the disease in herds where it is a problem.

Subjects: Fisheries and aquaculture

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Discards have been recognised as an important source of unaccounted mortality. Most research in this field has focused on estimating discarded quantities for a particular fishery; a necessary first step which requires large sampling efforts due to the inherent variability of catches. Currently no unifying theory exists which would try to explain discarding behaviour but a number of assumptions are implicit in many studies. We propose to explicitly state and test these underlying hypotheses in order to start building a theoretical basis that might help us to understand and predict discarding behaviour. The common implicit assumptions are: H1: Discards are proportional to catches H2: Discards are proportional to fishing effort H3: Discards are determined by year class strength H4: Legal landing size determines discards selection

description: Stress field solutions and Stress Intensity Factors (SIFs) are found for $n$-cusped hypocycloidal shaped voids and rigid inclusions in an infinite linear elastic plane subject to nonuniform remote antiplane loading, using complex potential and conformal mapping. It is shown that a void with hypocycloidal shape can lead to a higher SIF than that induced by a corresponding star-shaped crack; this is counter intuitive as the latter usually produces a more severe stress field in the material. Moreover, it is observed that when the order $m$ of the polynomial governing the remote loading grows, the stress fields generated by the hypocycloidal-shaped void and the star-shaped crack tend to coincide, so that they become equivalent from the point of view of a failure analysis. Finally, special geometries and loading conditions are discovered for which there is no stress singularity at the inclusion cusps and where the stress is even reduced with respect to the case of the absence of the inclusion. The concept of Stress Reduction Factor (SRF) in the presence of a sharp wedge is therefore introduced, contrasting with the well-known definition of Stress Concentration Factor (SCF) in the presence of inclusions with smooth boundary. The results presented in this paper provide criteria that will help in the design of ultra strong composite materials, where stress singularities always promote failure. Furthermore, they will facilitate finding the special conditions where resistance can be optimized in the presence of inclusions with non-smooth boundary.

description: The task of object viewpoint estimation has been a challenge since the early days of computer vision. To estimate the viewpoint (or pose) of an object, people have mostly looked at object intrinsic features, such as shape or appearance. Surprisingly, informative features provided by other, extrinsic elements in the scene, have so far mostly been ignored. At the same time, contextual cues have been proven to be of great benefit for related tasks such as object detection or action recognition. In this paper, we explore how information from other objects in the scene can be exploited for viewpoint estimation. In particular, we look at object configurations by following a relational neighbor-based approach for reasoning about object relations. We show that, starting from noisy object detections and viewpoint estimates, exploiting the estimated viewpoint and location of other objects in the scene can lead to improved object viewpoint predictions. Experiments on the KITTI dataset demonstrate that object configurations can indeed be used as a complementary cue to appearance-based viewpoint estimation. Our analysis reveals that the proposed context-based method can improve object viewpoint estimation by reducing specific types of viewpoint estimation errors commonly made by methods that only consider local information. Moreover, considering contextual information produces superior performance in scenes where a high number of object instances occur. Finally, our results suggest that, following a cautious relational neighbor formulation brings improvements over its aggressive counterpart for the task of object viewpoint estimation.

description: We present a novel phase-field model development capability in the open source MOOSE finite element framework. This facility is based on the 'modular free energy' approach in which the phase-field equations are implemented in a general form that is logically separated from model-specific data such as the thermodynamic free energy density and mobility functions. Free energy terms contributing to a phase-field model are abstracted into self-contained objects that can be dynamically combined at simulation run time. Combining multiple chemical and mechanical free energy contributions expedites the construction of coupled phase-field, mechanics, and multiphase models. This approach allows computational material scientists to focus on implementing new material models, and to reuse existing solution algorithms and data processing routines. A key new aspect of the rapid phase-field development approach that we discuss in detail is the automatic symbolic differentiation capability. Automatic symbolic differentiation is used to compute derivatives of the free energy density functionals, and removes potential sources of human error while guaranteeing that the nonlinear system Jacobians are accurately approximated. Through just-in-time compilation, we greatly reduce the computational expense of evaluating the differentiated expressions. The new capability is demonstrated for a variety of representative applications.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Аn attempt to estimate the value of instantaneous natural mortality coefficient (M) for blue whiting is made. An analysis of catch-at-age data by means of a separable cohort model (ISVPA), which parameter estimation procedure is relatively resistant to noise in catch-at-age data, shows that the value of M for blue whiting age diapason 3–10+ is close to 0.4. For age groups 1 and 2 estimated values of M are perhaps higher, but the estimates for these ages are highly unstable. Application of some of «physiological» methods for M assessment (Richter & Efanov and Alverson & Carney) also supported the feeling that the value of natural mortality coefficient for blue whiting is at least twice higher than traditionally used 0.2. The results of stock assessment using estimated value of M revealed much higher correlation with survey estimates (despite only catch-at-age data were used for estimation of the model parameters, including M) in comparison to the results obtained previously with M=0.2.

Monsieur et très cher confrère

Je vous suis infiniment obligé de l'intérêt que vous avez bien voulu prendre à l'affaire de mon parent. Un si beau zèle est digne de votre coeur. Il me paroit que la chose a été menée bien vertement et je crois que la justice épuiseroit ses foudres, s'il fallait les lancer contre tous les fornicateurs imprudens. On a été étonné de cette sévérité; elle n'est pas selon notre jurisprudence. Au fait on peut condamner le jeune homme à des dommages suivant l'état de la famille; mais on ne peut rien de plus. Il faut que le père, suivant vos sages conseils, tâche de finir cette affaire, à quelque prix que ce soit: votre médiation, mon cher confrère, lui sera du plus grand secours.

Il ne m'est point possible de faire placer le coupable dans cette ville, comme je l'aurois désiré. Les P.P. de la Charité ont six élèves royaux: mais ils doivent être destinés pour le Dauphiné seul. D'ailleurs mon cousin a besoin de son fils; et s'il ne peut éviter de l'attirer auprès de lui, en supposant toutesfois qu'il veuille être sage.

Je vous prie, mon cher confrère, d'honnorer mes parens de votre bienveillance. Ils s'en rendront dignes par leur reconnoissance, et la méritent par la délicatesse de leurs sentimens. à charge de revanche, si je puis avoir le bonheur de faire quelque chose qui puisse vous plaire. Avez vous des échantillons de notre mine d'argent du Bourg d'Oisans? Je puis vous en procurer un morceau.

J'ai l'honneur d'être avec le plus sincère attachement

Monsieur et cher confrère

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur

Nicolas

Monsieur De Séguier, secrétaire perpétuel de l'académie royale de Nîmes

Striations in electronegative capacitively coupled radio-frequency plasmas: effects of the pressure, voltage, and electrode gap

description: Capacitively coupled radio-frequency (CCRF) CF_4 plasmas have been found to exhibit a self-organized striated structure at operating conditions, where the plasma is strongly electronegative and the ion-ion plasma in the bulk region (largely composed of CF_3^+ and F^- ions) resonates with the excitation frequency. In this work we explore the effects of the gas pressure, the RF voltage, and the electrode gap on this striated structure by Phase Resolved Optical Emission Spectroscopy and Particle-In-Cell/Monte Carlo Collisions simulations. The measured electronic excitation patterns at different external parameters show a good general agreement with the spatio-temporal plots of the ionization rate obtained from the simulations. For a fixed driving frequency the minima of the CF_3^+ and F^- ion densities (between the density peaks in the bulk) are comparable and independent of other external parameters. However, the ion density maxima generally increase as a function of the pressure or RF voltage, leading to the enhanced spatial modulation of plasma parameters. The striation gap (defined as the distance between two ion density peaks) is approximately inversely proportional to the pressure, while it exhibits a weak dependence on the RF voltage and the electrode gap. A transition between the striated and non-striated modes can be observed by changing either the pressure or the RF voltage; for 13.56 MHz and 18 MHz driving frequencies we present a phase diagram as a function of the pressure and voltage amplitude parameters.
