  2. Symmetry of the plasma produced ina wall-stabilized d.c. arc 2

  3. Wall-stabilized arc (Maecker) 3

  4. Wall-stabilized arc (Shumaker) 4

  5. Main advantages of the wall-stabilized arc • very stable (as well spatially as temporally) • long time of stable work (hours) • the plasma is at least close to theLocal Thermal Equilibrium • cylindrical symmetry of the plasma • uniformity of the plasma along the arc axis(neglecting infinitesimally small area near electrodes) 5

  6. Usually the discharge is conducted in an inert gas atmosphere with small admixtures of the element under study. • Argon • Helium 6

  7. Typical parameters of plasma produced in a wall-stabilized arc temperature: 8 000 – 15 000 (K) electron densities:1015 – 1017 (cm–3 ) pressure: 1 atmosphere 7

  26. End-on spectra – how to interpret it? 26

  27. Demixing effect Murphy has shown that in a mixture of two homonuclear gases that do not react with each other the treatment of diffusion can be greatly simplified if local chemical equilibrium is assumed. In this case, instead of considering the diffusion of individual species separately, one can consider the diffusion of gases. Here a gas, for example nitrogen, is defined to consist of all the species that can be derived from that gas, for example N2, N2+, N, N+, N++, and the electrons derived from the ionization of nitrogen molecules and atoms. 27

  29. Demixing effect Demixing can be caused by: • mole fraction (or partial pressure) gradient, • frictional forces, • thermal diffusion, • external forces (e.g. electric field). 29
