Investigation of excitation mechanisms in the He−Cd plasma

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

The intensity of 5337 and 5378 Å spontaneous emitted lines of Cd II were investigated as a function of helium pressure in the cataphoresis-type He Cd discharge tube. The number of cadmium metastable atoms in the3 P 2 and3 P 0 states were determined by means of the absorption method. The intensity changes of the Cd II lines and the variation of cadmium metastable densities with He pressure indicate an existence of collisions between metastable Cd(3 P 2,0) and He(1 S) atoms.
