Abstract
The actinometry method was used to study experimentally the kinetics of the formation of hydrogen atoms in a low-pressure glow discharge initiated in a hydrogen-argon mixture. Dependences of the steady-state concentration of hydrogen atoms on current and pressure have been obtained for the ranges i/R=1 to 16 mA/cm and pR=0.7 to 10 Torr·cm, respectively. It has been established that for discharge-activated hydrogen, when the temperature of the system varies only slightly, the recombination frequency parameter vH=γHDH/Λ2 can be used.
