Abstract
The cathode as an electron emitter possesses different modes of operation to maintain the current forced upon the discharge. We investigated spectroscopically the near-cathode region of a free-burning low-current argon arc operated at atmospheric pressure in order to measure the plasma parameters of that mode of operation that we call the blue-core mode. For better interpretation of the experimental data we applied a simple two-temperature model. As a result, we can describe the arc plasma up to 100 µm near the cathode surface.
