The influences of upper-coil and lower-coil current modulation of tandem-type modulated induction thermal plasma (tandem-MITP) were studied for silicon nanoparticle synthesis using both experimental and numerical approaches. The modulation condition was set to three conditions of non-modulation, lower-coil current modulation only, and simultaneous upper-coil and lower-coil current modulation. The experimentally obtained results indicate that simultaneous modulation of the upper-coil and lower currents provides smaller nanoparticles with a lower standard deviation of particle size. This result suggests that large modulation of two coil currents can offer more rapid quenching of the temperature field in modulated induction thermal plasma. The developed numerical model also predicted provision of smaller nanoparticles by high quenching because of strong entrainment gas flow by the simultaneous modulation of upper-coil and lower coil currents. Comparison was made between the numerical result and experimentally obtained results in terms of time variation in the radiation intensity distribution, and particle size distribution, indicating fair agreement between them. From these experimentally obtained and numerical results, simultaneous modulation of the upper-coil and lower-coil currents was found to be preferable for nanoparticle synthesis.
