Abstract

Conditions for the simultaneous production of argon and xenon chlorides and excited nitrogen molecules in a longitudinal dc glow discharge in Ar/Cl2/air, Xe/Cl2/air, and Ar/Xe/Cl2/air mixtures are studied. The electrical parameters of the plasma and its optical characteristics in the 130-to 350-nm wavelength range are investigated. It is shown that a small admixture of air added to argon or xenon leads to the production of excited nitrogen molecules, whose decay is accompanied by the molecular band emission in the range Δλ=176–271 nm. The conditions for simultaneous emission of the ArCl(B-X), XeCl(B-X), and nitrogen molecular bands are determined.
