Influence of pressure on the properties of a microwave-induced plasma

Studies on the Fundamental Characteristics of Laser Ablation/Low-Pressure Inductively Coupled Plasma

“…In both ICPs, the excitation temperatures were almost constant as RF forward power increased. These results are similar to those obtained by Goode et al (11), although other workers reported that the excitation temperatures increased as the power was increased (11)(12)(13). The excitation temperature of Ar ICP was slightly higher at 27.12 MHz than at 13.56 MHz.…”

Impact of aerosol particles on the structure of an atmospheric pressure microwave plasma afterglow

“…Wavelength λ energy E J probability A J K (nm) (cm −1 ) (10 of a transition from level q to ground state can be expressed as [16,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]:…”

Rapid Synthesis of Alkali-Metal Fullerides Using a Microwave-Induced Argon Plasma

“…Powers of a few tens of watts are needed to induce plasma formation, depending on the pressure of argon and the geometry of the vessel. 24 In the synthesis of alkali-metal fullerides, the MIAP accelerates both mass transport of alkali metal to the C 60 surface and the second step of diffusion of the alkali-metal cation throughout the C 60 particle. In the first step of the microwave synthesis, the vessel is placed under an argon pressure of 10 -5 mbar to assist vaporization of the metal and to increase the mean free path in the gas phase of the alkali-metal atoms, reducing the reaction time.…”

“…An argon plasma is readily generated in a microwave oven, affording a pink glow in the vessel and causing a rapid rise in temperature, depending on the power applied. Powers of a few tens of watts are needed to induce plasma formation, depending on the pressure of argon and the geometry of the vessel . In the synthesis of alkali-metal fullerides, the MIAP accelerates both mass transport of alkali metal to the C 60 surface and the second step of diffusion of the alkali-metal cation throughout the C 60 particle.…”
