Elementary Chemical Processes and Kinetics in a Non-Equilibrium and Quasi-Equelibrium Plasma

Characteristics of discharge with liquid non-metallic cathode burning in air flow

“…A new cycle begins. The observed phenomena are similar to the wellknown shunting process in arc plasmatrons [19]. Shunting is the result of the fact that when moving upstream, the potential differences between the potential of the equipotential metal electrode and the plasma potential in the discharge channel increase.…”

Electron and gas temperature dependences of the dissociative recombination coefficient of molecular ions {\rm Ar}_2^+ with electrons

“…He suggested that at higher temperatures, molecular Ar + 2 ions dissociated to atomic ones-this implies that another recombination process was measured containing both atomic and molecular ions. Polak and Slovetskij [15] suggested that the interpretation of the measurements of the ion saturated current using a Langmuir probe by Cunningham et al [10] was inadequate since the theory used is not valid in the pressure range above 2.7 kPa [16]. They also did not use mass spectrometry to measure the type of ions.…”

“…They also did not use mass spectrometry to measure the type of ions. Therefore, Polak and Slovetskij [15] proposed a method of measuring the gas temperature dependence of the recombination coefficients by heating the gas in an electrical oven. In this paper we present the first experimental results using this technique, together with the electron temperature dependence of the recombination coefficients.…”
