In this study, method for experimentally determining the electron density (ne) and the electron temperature (Te) in the atmospheric Argon plasma jet is used; it is based on optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Boltzmann plot method used to calculate these parameters measured for different values of gas flow rate. The results show that the electron temperature decreasing with the increase of gas flow rate also indicates an increasing in the electron density of plasma jet with increasing of gas flow rate.

AbstractThe interaction between an argon plasma jet excited using microsecond duration voltage pulses and a liquid target was examined using Thomson scattering to quantify the temporal evolution of the electron density and temperature. The electrical resistance between a liquid target and the electrical ground was varied from 1 to $$680\, \text {k}\Omega $$ 680 k Ω to mimic different conductivity liquids while the influence of the varying electrical properties on the electron dynamics within the plasma were examined. It was demonstrated that the interaction between the plasma jet and a liquid target grounded via a high resistance resulted in typical dielectric barrier discharge behaviour, with two discharge events per applied voltage pulse. Under such conditions, the electron density and temperature reached a peak of $$1\cdot 10^{15}\, \text {cm}^{-3}$$ 1 · 10 15 cm - 3 and 3.4 eV, respectively; with both rapidly decaying over several hundreds of nanoseconds. For liquid targets grounded via a low resistance, the jet behaviour transitioned to a DC-like discharge, with a single breakdown event being observed and sustained throughout the duration of each applied voltage pulse. Under such conditions, electron densities of $$2{-}3 \cdot 10^{15}\, \text {cm}^{-3}$$ 2 - 3 · 10 15 cm - 3 were detected for several microseconds. The results demonstrate that the electron dynamics in a pulsed argon plasma jet are extremely sensitive to the electrical characteristics of the target, which in the case of water, can evolve during exposure to the plasma.

Spectroscopic and Langmuir probe measurements are presented to characterize the argon glow discharge plasma generated by a cost-effective 50 Hz AC power source. Optical emission spectra (400–700 nm) are recorded for different gas flow rates and filling pressures at constant power level. The plasma parameters (electron temperature and density) are deduced from the relative intensities of Ar-I and Ar-II lines. The variation in the intensity ratio of the selected emission lines, electron temperature and density is studied as a function of gas flow rate and filling pressure. Slight increase in the intensity ratio I2(426.62 nm )/I1(404.44 nm ) of the emission lines is observed whereas the electron temperature and density are found to decrease with increase in gas flow rate and filling pressure.
