Laser Sustained Plasma Free Jet and Energetic Atom Beam of Pure Argon or Oxygen Seeded Argon Mixture

  • Chapter
Atomic and Molecular Beams

Abstract

As emphasized by Schram and co-workers above in this volume, the development of the plasma generation and expansion is relevant to many scientific subjects and a large variety of important applications. This article deals with the physics of the translational and electronic relaxations in plasma free jets, but the results are of potential interest also for the production of plasma flows, as used in ground test facilities for the simulation of spacecraft-atmosphere interactions. This is of importance to study the material degradation and surface modifications due to the very agressive environment in space experiments.
