The role of Ar III in quantitative spectroscopy on hot argon plasmas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We perform quantitative optical emission spectroscopy on the hot core of the cathode region of a free-burning arc in argon under atmospheric pressure. As the peak temperatures in the centre of the discharge exceed 22 000K we are able to observe three spectra of argon (Ar I, Ar II and Ar III) and the continuum emission. We report on some inconsistencies concerning the evaluation of Ar III radiation in both line and continuum emission. These are caused by erroneous data in the literature and common misconceptions about the influence of Ar III on the plasma emission. We discuss the impact of this fact on published data. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. PACS: 52.25. b; 52.25.Jm; 52.70. m; 52.80.Mg

Extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy of highly charged argon ions at the Berlin EBIT
Extreme ultraviolet radiation from highly charged argon was investigated at the Berlin Electron Beam Ion Trap with a 2 m grazing incidence spectrometer. Lines in the wavelength range 150 to 660 Å originating from C-like Ar to Li-like Ar ions have been identified and are compared with database information from solar line lists and predictions. Line ratios for the observed resonance, intercombina...
متن کاملTime Domain Spectroscopy of Terahertz Radiation from Argon Clusters Irradiated by Intense Femtosecond Laser Pulses
The electromagnetic wave ranging from the millimeter wave to gamma ray is radiated from plasmas produced by irradiating solid and gas targets with high intensity optical pulses. The THz wave radiation from the plasmas produced by femtosecond laser pulses has been intensively studied by many groups [1-3] these few years since it is one of the promising intense THz radiation sources. Solid THz em...
متن کاملContinuous wave cavity ring down spectroscopy measurements of velocity distribution functions of argon ions in a helicon plasma.
We report continuous wave cavity ring down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) measurements of ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in low pressure argon helicon plasma (magnetic field strength of 600 G, T(e) ≈ 4 eV and n ≈ 5 × 10(11) cm(-3)). Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) is routinely used to measure VDFs of argon ions, argon neutrals, helium neutrals, and xenon ions in helicon sources. Here, we d...

The ion drag force acting on dust grains was measured experimentally in a low-pressure Ar plasma in the regime of strong ion-grain coupling. Argon ions were drifting in the axial ambipolar electric field naturally present in a hot-filament dc discharge plasma. Following the method of Hirt et al. Phys. Plasmas 11, 569
متن کاملEmission 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...
