Résumé

Abstract A low-temperature plasma jet is generated by a dielectric barrier discharge poweredby a pulsed high voltage in helium flow (3 L/min) at atmospheric pressure inpresence of different targets (glass slide or ultra-pure water or a grounded metal plate)positioned perpendicular to the plasma propagation axis. Experimental electricalcharacterizations as discharge current, voltage and powerand optical ones as intensifiedcamera ICCD, Schlieren imaging and emission spectroscopy to follow specific excitedspecies have been achieved. The transition from laminar to turbulent regime wereobserved during the discharge ignition with a larger spreading of the plasma on thesurface target with lower dielectric permittivity and the generation of two dischargesduring each voltage pulse is highlighted during the propagation of the ionization wavethat has shown a variable speed along the plasma axis not depending on the target kind.The evolution of some active species (as OH, O and excited nitrogen and helium) areinvestigated using time resolved mapping of the emissions of radiative excited speciespropagating in ambient air between the plasma jet output andthe target. For a lowrelative permittivity target (glass), the volume ionization wave at its arrival on thetarget spreads on its surface thus behaving as a surface ionization wave. For thehighest relative permittivity (metal), a conductive channel appears between the targetsurface and the plasma jet during the first discharge, followed by a diffuse plasma plumefrom the target surface towards the plasma jet after the impact of the ionization waveon the target. A hybrid behavior is highlighted for the ultra-pure water which leadsto a short spreading of the ionization wave on the target surface, the formation of aconductive channel in ambient air between tube output and target and the formationof a plasma plume on the target surface.
