Abstract
A highly sensitive detector was developed for determining parts per billion of nitrogen in high-purity argon. The method is based on the spectrophotometric determination of the emission intensity from the nitrogen molecule excited in the lowest vibrational transitions of the electronic C(3)Π(u) → B(3)Π(g) system. A capillary glow discharge technique was applied to excite nitrogen in an argon flow at several Torr. The low-pressure, capillary glow discharge method offered high sensitivity for detecting trace nitrogen in argon. The response of the detector was proportional in the range of nitrogen concentrations from 0.1 ppb, which correspond to S/N = 3, to 100 ppm.
