Abstract:An extensive study of Mn, Fe, Ti, Cr, Cu emission spectra from a Grimm-type glow discharge (GDOES) and an inductively coupled plasma (ICP), in argon, was performed, using the formalism of population functions (experimental Boltzmann plots) and transition rate diagrams. Emission characteristics of both spectral sources were compared, with the following results: in both discharges the excitation of neutral metal atoms (Me I) is dominated by electron impact (EI), however, in the excitation of singly charged ions … Show more
“…24 The variation trend of the AES signal is similar to that of T exc and n e , which may be important reasons for the changes in the AES signal. It is worth mentioning that combining this system with other diagnostic approaches in the future, such as the transition rate diagrams reported by Weiss et al, [25][26][27] may provide a clearer description of the excitation processes.…”

“…a Grimm-type cell) for the depth proling of conductive thin layered surfaces. 6,7 In Weiss 8 the formalism of the transition rate (TR) was employed as a good tool for the description of the excitation process involved in GD plasmas. The emission spectra of Mn, Fe, Ti, Cr, and Cu are used for making the population function diagram.…”

“…35,36 A similar situation exists in chromium, 37 and also in copper metastable ions enhancing the population of doubly-excited copper neutral atoms. 38 So far, no systematic data appear to be available for considering collisional interaction between the plasma particles and metastable states of various transition metal atoms. The elementary processes and corresponding cross-sections have been overwhelmingly considered by the interaction of the electron and plasma gas atom/ions with the sample atoms in their ground states.…”
This tutorial review covers the terms scheme, energy levels, and populating/depopulating processes for the atomic metastable states of sputtered and analytically interesting atoms.
