Molybdenum plasma in air at atmospheric pressure was carried out by utilizing Nd-YAG laser at fundamental wavelength 1064 nm, 0.206 mJ input energy, 5 ns pulse duration and repetition rate 10 Hz. After plasma formation, the optical fiber was used to collect plasma emission. The spectral analysis was displayed in the Local Thermal Equilibrium (LTE) state. Electron temperature was estimated by Boltzmann plot method and electron density was calculated from Stark broadening and compared with electron density of Hα-line at 656.3 nm which has reliable values. The temperature of plasma and density were evaluated for different positions along the expansion axis. The influence of the input power on plasma was studied. The electron density varied from 5 ×10 18 to 3.5×10 19 cm -3 . These parameters are important in environmental and industrial application. At distance of 10 mm from the target, the electron temperature has a minimum value while the electron density shows a maximum value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
