Abstract
In this paper, we present the dependencies of atomic nitrogen concentration in the afterglow on the amount of oxygen admixture added to the main gas. It is observed that until a certain threshold, the concentration of atomic nitrogen rises rapidly with the amount of admixture. If even more of the admixture is added, the concentration of nitrogen atoms decreases again. We suggest the explanation of this phenomenon by two antagonistic processes acting together: (i) decrease of the surface recombination coefficient by blocking of active sites and (ii) chemical reaction between N and O2 in the volume.
