Description

Density regulating method and preparation device of self-supporting carbon nanotube film target
Technical Field
The invention relates to a density-adjustable self-supporting carbon nanotube film target, a density regulating method or a preparation method of the film target and an adopted device, belonging to the technical field of novel nano material manufacturing and application.
Background
The interaction of ultrashort and ultrastrong laser pulses and a self-supporting thin film target can realize ion acceleration, and the method has the advantages of high acceleration gradient, low manufacturing cost, no breakdown threshold limit and the like, and has attracted wide attention due to potential application values in the fields of proton imaging, nuclear fusion fast ignition and the like. Experimental research shows that the quality of the film target has key influence on the quality of cut-off energy, strong current, energy dispersion and the like of the ion beam obtained by acceleration. The self-supporting carbon nanotube film is micro-uniform and porous, and can generate uniform plasma with high temperature and high energy density when acting with super-strong laser pulse. When carbon tube films with different densities interact with the ultra-strong laser pulse, a new acceleration mechanism can be induced to form, and proton/carbon ion beams with high average energy and small energy dispersion are obtained. The proton/carbon ion obtained by accelerating has Bragg peak in the energy deposition effect in organisms, and has unique advantages in radiotherapy and cancer treatment.
At present, the preparation methods of the self-supporting carbon nanotube film mainly include a solution method and a chemical vapor deposition method. The carbon tube prepared by the solution method has the property of oleophobic and hydrophobic property of large pi bond on the surface, and the method is difficult to prepare a uniformly dispersed homogeneous carbon tube film unless complicated and complicated carbon tube functionalization treatment is carried out. In order to realize a peelable self-supporting film independent of a substrate, most of carbon nanotubes prepared by a chemical vapor deposition method have high density and thickness, and a low-density self-supporting film is difficult to realize. Patent CN105271163A discloses a continuous preparation and film-forming method of carbon nanotube macroscopic body, and the success rate of self-supporting of the prepared carbon tube film is low by adopting mechanical stripping or dissolution stripping. Considering the problem that the film is self-supported and easy to damage, the self-supporting carbon tube film prepared by the method has high density generally, and the density of the carbon tube film can be changed in a certain range only by controlling reaction conditions, so that the carbon tube film is difficult to perform large-range specified density adjustment, and the density requirement of a laser acceleration experiment on a self-supporting carbon tube film target is difficult to meet.
Therefore, it is desired to provide a self-supporting carbon nanotube film target with low density, easy peeling, and easy and flexible adjustment of density, thereby meeting the requirements of laser acceleration experiments.

A method for regulating and controlling the density of self-supporting carbon nanotube film target includes such steps as mechanically compressing, adhering and transferring, putting the conductive silicon wafers on the coupling target frame, covering them with carbon tubes, aligning them, transferring them to film pressing machine, and compressing to a certain height.
9. A preparation device of a self-supporting carbon nanotube film target comprises a preparation device of a carbon nanotube or a carbon nanotube film and a coupling target frame, wherein the coupling target frame is composed of a base and a target sheet coupled and nested/complemented with the base, the base comprises an aluminum alloy flat plate and a cylindrical protrusion array on the surface of the aluminum alloy flat plate, preferably only composed of two parts, the height of a cylinder is the thickness of the target sheet, the diameter of the cross section is the inner diameter of a target hole in the target sheet, preferably, the upper surface of the cylindrical protrusion is subjected to precision polishing treatment, and the spatial arrangement of the cylindrical protrusion is consistent with the arrangement of the target hole in the target sheet.
10. The manufacturing apparatus as set forth in claim 9, wherein the target and the pedestal are adjustable in size, and the inner diameter of the target hole, i.e., the diameter of the columnar projection, d, is 1-3 mm; the thickness of the target, i.e. the height of the stud bumps, h, may be 0.5-1mm, the target and the base being of equal size and may be square, for example 25-50mm, more preferably 35-40mm, on a side.
