Influence of nitrogen impurities on an electron-excited helium atoms concentration in the self-sustained normal dc glow discharge at atmospheric pressure

Abstract

The influence of nitrogen impurities on the parameters of the self-sustained normal dc glow discharge at atmospheric pressure was studied. The concentrations of the low-excited helium atoms in states 21s, 21p, 23s and 23p were determined in the atmospheric pressure glow discharge in helium (99.98%He) and in helium with a nitrogen admixture. It was shown that the adding of nitrogen into helium (less 5%) leads to the increase of both interelectrode gap voltage and gas temperature. At the same time the drastically reduction of concentration of the low-excited helium atoms in cathode region even at nitrogen admixture of 0.5 % is occurred.
