Abstract
In this work, we suggest a method for electron impact width parameter calculation based on Stark broadening of emission lines of a laser-ablated plasma plume. First, electron density and temperature must be evaluated by means of the Saha–Boltzmann plot method for neutral and ionized species of the plasma. The method was applied for laser-ablated molybdenum plasma plume. For molybdenum plasma electron temperature, which varies around 10,000 K, and electron density, which reaches values around 1018 cm−3, and considering that total measured line broadening was due experimental and Stark broadening mainly, electron impact width parameter of molybdenum emission lines was determined as (0.01 ± 0.02) nm. Intending to validate the presented method, it was analyzed the laser-ablated aluminum plasma plume and the obtained results were in agreement with the predicted on the literature.
