The Texc value, which was shown to be between 4300 and 5250 K under different operating conditions, was calculated from the slope of the Boltzmann plot with Fe as the thermometric species. The Trot value, which was in the range of 2100-2500 K, was measured with OH molecular spectra. The influences of microwave power, flow rates of the support gas, cartier gas, and shielding gas, as well as the observation height on Texc and Trot were investigated and discussed. The detailed results of Texc and Trot provided a better understanding of the performance of an OS-ArMPT as a source for atomic emission spectrometry.展开更多

Phys. Chem. A 114 9644] for the first time. We observe the changes of differential cross-sections at different collision energies and different initial reagent rotational excitations. The influence of collision energy on the k-k＇ distribution can be attributed to a purely impulsive effect. Initial reagent rotational excitation transforms the reaction mechanism from insertion to abstraction. The effect of initial reagent rotational excitations on k-k＇ distribution can be explained by the rotational excitation enlarging the rotational rate of reagent NH in the entrance channel to reduce the probability of collision between incidence H atom and H atom of target molecular. We also investigate the changes of vector correlations and find that the rotational angular momentum vector j＇ of the product H_2 is not only aligned, but also oriented along the y axis. The alignment parameter, the disposal of total angular momentum and the reaction mechanism are all analyzed carefully to explain the polarization behavior of the product rotational angular moment.展开更多

Based on the polarization-dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） and the angular distributions of the product angular momentum with the reactant at different values of initial v or j, the results show that the product scattering and product polarization have strong links with initial vibrationalrotational numbers of v and j. The significant manifestation of the normal DCSs is that the forward scattering gradually becomes predominant with the initial vibrational excitation increasing, and the scattering angle of the HF product taking place on the 3At potential energy surface is found to be more sensitive to the initial value of v. The product orientation and alignment are strongly dependent on the initial rovibrational excitation effect. With enhancement in the initial rovibrational excitation effect, there is an overall decrease in the product orientation as well as in the product alignment either perpendicular to the reagent relative velocity vector k or along the direction of the y axis, for which the initial rotational excitation effect is much more noticeable than the vibrational excitation effect. Moreover, the initial rovibrational excitation effect on the product polarization is more pronounced for the 3At potential energy surface than for the 1At potential energy surface.展开更多

The vector properties in different rotational states on the two surfaces are discussed in detail. The results indicate that the rotational excitation of NO has considerable influence on the stereodynamic property of the reaction occurring on the two surfaces. At the same time, the calculated polarization-dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） in different initial rotational states manifest that products are strongly polarized at three scattering angles.展开更多

The plasma parameters including the electron excitation temperature, vibrational temperature and rotational temperature of the plasma jet at different discharge powers are diagnosed based on the assumption that the kinetic energy of the species obeys the Boltzmann distribution. The electron density at different power is also investigated by HS Stark broadening. The results show that the plasma source works under non-equilibrium conditions. It is also found that the vibrational temperature and rotational temperat;ure increase with discharge power, whereas the electron excitation temperature seems to have a downward trend. The electron density increases from 0.8×10^21 m^-3 to 1.1×10^21 m^-3 when the discharge power increases from 53 W to 94 W.展开更多
