Structural Characteristics of Aluminum Nanoparticles Produced By Electrical Explosion in Argon

An experiment platform is designed and set up recently to study the influences of the experimental parameters on the dynamics of the electrical explosion of wires(EEW) and the characteristics of nanoparticles 1. The platform consists of two 50 kA, 5 μs pulsed current generators, a gas recycling system and a nanoparticle collection system. Each of the generators can be work at the extremal-triggered single-shot mode or the repetitive shot mode with a shot frequency of 1000 times per hour.
