A contribution to the study of the influence of metastables in the flowing afterglow plasma

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper describes an experimental apparatus based on the flowing afterglow technique which enables the study of the role of metastable atoms of the carrier gas by means of titration of the reactant vapour of gas into the flow tube. A study of the behaviour of the electron and ion density and electron distribution of Ar* metastables (Ar as the carrier gas) using Penning ionization of the ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH) (titration vapour) has been made by means of a described experimental set-up. The method of estimation of the metastables concentration in the decaying flowing afterglow plasma by Langmuir probe technique with use of titrant technique is also studied.
