Abstract

AbstractEarly afterglows of N2 and N2‐O2 flowing microwave discharges are characterized by optical emission spectroscopy. The N and O atom and N2(A) metastable molecule densities are determined by optical emission spectroscopy after calibration by NO titration for N‐atoms and measurements of NO and N2 band intensities for O‐atoms and N2(A) metastable molecules. By using N2 tanks with 50 and 10 ppm impurity, it is determined in the afterglow an O‐ atom impurity of 150‐200 ppm. Variations of the N and O‐atom and N2(A) metastable molecule densities are obtained in the early afterglow of N2–(9·10–5–3·10–3)O2 gas mixtures. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
