离子引出是激光法分离同位素技术中的关键环节之一, 对产品丰度和产率有重要的影响, 而离子引出中离子和原子间的共振电荷转移过程则会对产品丰度造成污染, 因此在研究离子引出过程时应考虑共振电荷转移的影响. 本文利用粒子模拟(PIC)法以及基于PIC法和杂化PIC法的混合算法研究了考虑共振电荷转移的电场法离子引出过程, 通过对一维平行板法的引出方式进行数值计算, 获得了离子引出过程中共振电荷转移的基本性质和关键影响因素—共振电荷转移截面、引出时间、背景原子密度和蒸气宽度, 并据此得到了离子发生共振电荷转移比例的经验公式; 二维工况下的平行板法、交替偏压法、Π型电场法和M型电场法四种引出方式的计算结果则表明, 在其他条件相同的情况下, M型电场法具有最小的离子引出时间和共振电荷转移损失比例. 本文的研究结论对于指导激光法分离同位素技术中离子引出装置设计和实验工艺设计具有比较重要的参考意义.

The electric ion extraction, which plays an important role in productivity and abundance of product, is a critical step in laser isotope separation (LIS) technology. Several collision processes happen during the electric ion extraction, such as resonant and non-resonant charge exchange between ion and atom, the secondary ionization process and the ion-electron recombination. The resonant charge exchange process between target isotope ions and no-target background atoms is one of the major reasons of product contamination. As a result, the study of ion extraction with the consideration of resonant charge exchange process is essential. However, the resonant charge exchange process in ion extraction has not received enough attention. Besides, contradictory findings have been deduced in published studies. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the effect of resonant charge exchange process in the electric ion extraction. In this article, the particle-in-cell (PIC) method and preprocessing hybrid-PIC method are adopted in both one- and two-dimensional numerical simulation. The preprocessing hybrid-PIC method is a calculation scheme by which accurate results can be obtained with less computational consumption. In this calculation scheme, the PIC method and hybrid-PIC method are used sequentially in different stages of ion extraction process. One-dimensional parallel type simulation cases are carried out under the circumstances of different initial plasma densities, applied voltages and background atom densities. The results show that the resonant charge exchange process happens in both shield layer and sheath layer. The ionic resonant charge exchange proportion in shield layer and sheath layer are related to the ion extraction time and average travel length in background vapor, respectively. Besides, they are proportional to the resonant charge exchange cross section and background atom density. And an empirical formula for deriving the resonant charge exchange ratio roughly is proposed. Two-dimensional simulations are carried out in four electrode configurations: parallel type, alternately biased parallel type, Π-type, and M-type. The extraction mechanisms are discussed and compared with each other. The simulation results show that M-type electrode configuration has the minimum resonant charge exchange ratio and extraction time among the configurations above. The results and conclusions provide an important reference for designing the LIS device.-
