Characterization of argon direct-current glow discharge with a longitudinal electric field applied at ambient air
A direct-current-driven plasma jet is developed by applying a longitudinal electric field on the flowing argon at ambient air. This plasma shows a torch shape with its cross-section increased from the anode to the cathode. Comparison with its counterparts indicates that the gas flow plays a key role in variation of the plasma structure and contributes much to enlarging the plasma volume. It is ...
متن کاملSpectral, spatial and temporal characteristics of a millisecond pulsed glow discharge: metastable argon atom production
Time resolved atomic emission, atomic absorbance, and laser-induced atomic fluorescence measurements of a Ž3 . millisecond pulsed glow discharge, made perpendicular to the insertion probe, provide temporal profiles of 1s P 5 2 Ž3 . and 1s P metastable argon atom populations. Acquisition of these profiles at different spatial positions in the 3 0 plasma provides data from which two-dimensional s...
متن کاملDust acoustic waves in a direct current glow discharge
An experimental investigation of dust acoustic ~DA! waves in a dc glow discharge plasma is described. The glow discharge is formed between a 3 cm anode disk and the grounded walls of a 60 cm diameter vacuum chamber which is filled with nitrogen gas at a pressure of about 100 mTorr. Dust located on a tray in the chamber is attracted into the plasma where it is trapped electrostatically. The dust...
متن کاملThe role of carrier gases in the production of metastable argon atoms in a rf discharge.
We investigate the role of carrier gases in the production of metastable argon atoms in a rf-driven discharge. The effects of different carrier gases (krypton, xenon, neon, and helium), carrier gas pressures, and rf discharge powers are examined. A xenon carrier gas provides the greatest metastable population of argon, yielding an optimal fractional metastable population of argon (Ar(*)/Ar) of ...
متن کاملHe Metastable Concentration Measurements in a Glow Discharge
The density of the metastable He atoms in the positive column of a glow discharge is determined using two techniques involving a Fourier Transform spectrometer. The techniques are the traditional self-absorption method and the newly reported Doppler shift technique. The two results agree well within the experimental errors.
