Measuring the electron temperature by optical emission spectroscopy in two temperature plasmas at atmospheric pressure: A critical approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The measurement of the electron mean kinetic energy by identifying the electron temperature and the excitation temperature obtained by optical emission spectroscopy is theoretically studied for two temperature argon plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Using a 32-level collisional radiative model in which both electron impact and argon-impact inelastic collisions are taken into account, it has been found that under certain conditions the argon inelastic collisions may cause a decrease of the argon excitation temperature so that the relation Te Texc T0 is satisfied. This inequality also appears when electron losses due to diffusion are important and the electron density is lower than its equilibrium value. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.

متن کاملGas temperature and electron temperature measurements by emission spectroscopy for an atmospheric microplasma
A microplasma suitable for material processing at atmospheric pressure in argon and argon-oxygen mixtures is being studied here. The microplasma is ignited by a high voltage dc pulse and sustained by low power 1–5 W at 450 MHz. the mechanisms responsible for sustaining the microplasma require a more detailed analysis, which will be the subject of further study. Here it is shown that the micropl...

Influence of nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen traces in an atmospheric pressure argon surface-wave plasma was studied by mean of emission spectroscopy. The electron temperature and density were respectively shown to increase and decrease with an increased flow of gas contaminant, the trends being more significant in the case of oxygen. However, Ar 1s2 level number densities remained constant for a...
