Description

Density regulation and control method and preparation device of self-supporting carbon nanotube film target
Technical Field
The invention relates to a self-supporting carbon nano tube film target with adjustable density, a density regulating and controlling method or a preparation method of the film target, and a device adopted by the film target, and belongs to the technical field of novel nano material manufacturing and application.
Background
The interaction of ultrashort and ultrastrong laser pulses and a self-supporting film target material can realize ion acceleration, and the ion acceleration has the advantages of high acceleration gradient, low manufacturing cost, no breakdown threshold limit and the like, and has attracted wide attention in the fields of proton imaging, nuclear fusion rapid ignition and the like. Experimental research shows that the quality of the film target material has key influence on the quality of the cut-off energy, the flow intensity, the energy dispersion and the like of the accelerated ion beam. The self-supporting carbon nano tube film is microscopically uniform and porous, and can generate high-temperature and high-energy-density uniform plasmas when being acted with super-strong laser pulses. When the carbon tube films with different densities interact with the ultra-strong laser pulse, a new acceleration mechanism can be induced to form, and the proton/carbon ion beam with high average energy and small energy dispersion is obtained. The energy deposition effect of the protons/carbon ions obtained by acceleration in the method has Bragg peaks, and has unique advantages in radiotherapy for cancer treatment.
At present, the preparation method of the self-supporting carbon nano tube film mainly comprises a solution method and a chemical vapor deposition method. The carbon tube prepared by the solution method is difficult to prepare a homogeneous carbon tube film which is uniformly dispersed unless complicated carbon tube functionalization treatment is carried out due to the property of large pi-bond oleophobic and hydrophobic surface. In order to realize a peelable self-supporting film independent of a substrate, most of carbon nanotubes prepared by chemical vapor deposition have high density and thickness, and it is difficult to realize a self-supporting film with low density. Patent CN105271163a discloses a continuous preparation and film forming method of a macroscopic body of a carbon nanotube, and the success rate of self-supporting of the prepared carbon nanotube film by mechanical stripping or dissolution stripping is low. Considering the problem that the self-supporting film is easy to damage, the self-supporting carbon tube film prepared by the method is high in general density, the density of the carbon tube film can be changed within a certain range only by controlling reaction conditions, the carbon tube film is difficult to carry out large-range designated 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 desirable to provide a self-supporting thin film with low density, which is easy to peel, and can adjust the density conveniently and flexibly, so as to obtain the self-supporting carbon tube thin film target meeting the requirement of laser acceleration experiments.
