Abstract

Measurement of absolute radical densities using line-of-sight threshold ionization mass spectrometry (LOS-TIMS) was discussed. The O, O ₂ and Ar densities and the average neutral-gas temperature in an O ₂/Ar electrical discharge were measured as a function of pressure in the plasma chamber. Collisions within the molecular beam extracted from the discharge was also studied for higher plasma chamber pressures. It was found that the O atom density increases with pressure and O ₂ mole fraction in the feed gas and is in the range of 2.1×10 ¹⁸-2.6×10 ¹⁹ m ^-3.
