Description
Summary:In the article the interaction of argon and nitrogen plasma with the surface of solids (silicate glasses and metal plates) was studied. The experiments were done on Plasma Focus setup (PF-4, Lebedev Physical Institute). It was found that independently of the working gas and the material of the plates on their surface, small-sized local fracture regions of ~ 1-3 mm in diameter are observed, which are surrounded by the region of action of a plasma a larger size 7-8 mm. It is assumed that these regions can be formed as a result of the action of beams of fast ions with energy of more than 40 keV. Damages of a larger size can be explained by the action of the plasma jet of the working gas and plasma bunches. In the small local area of damage, there are accumulations of foreign impurities: copper, carbon, iron, etc.
