Basic Concept on GRIMM Glow Discharge Emission Phenomena

RF Glow Discharge Atomic Emission Spectroscopy of Non-Conducting Materials

Emission spectroscopic study on gas-gas interactions in glow discharge plasmas using several binary gas mixtures.

Emission spectra of constituent gas species from glow discharge plasmas using argon-helium, krypton-helium, argon-krypton, and krypton-argon gas mixtures were analyzed to elucidate collisional energy transfer between these gas species occurring in the plasma. In the argon-helium mixed gas plasma, the enhancement or quenching of particular Ar II lines was observed when helium was added to an arg...

Dependence of the transition from Townsend to glow discharge on secondary emission.

, (1991)]]. Sijacić and Ebert stated that this transition strongly depends on secondary emission gamma from the cathode. We show here that the earlier results of von Engel and Raizer on the small current expansion about the Townsend limit actually are the limit of small gamma of the Sijacić and Ebert expression, and that for larger gamma the old and the Sijacić and Ebert new results vary by no ...

Active Noise Control Using Glow Discharge

First-day spacecraft failures frequently occur as a result of the loads experienced during launch into orbit. These loads include structural vibrations transmitted at points of structural contact, and structural-acoustic vibrations created by the excitation of the payload fairing cavity. Structural control techniques, using piezoelectric actuators, have previously been studied as cost-effective...

Spectral, spatial and temporal characterization of a millisecond pulsed glow discharge: copper analyte emission and ionization

Two-dimensional maps of the spatial distributions of excited and ionized sputtered copper atoms are presented for a millisecond pulsed argon glow discharge. These maps demonstrate the temporal as well as spatial dependence of different excitation and ionization processes over the pulse cycle. Transitions from the low energy electronic states Ž . for the atom, characterized by emission such as t...
