Measurement of Molecular Vibrational Temperature of the White-Eye Pattern in Dielectric Barrier Discharge
The white-eye pattern, whose cell is composed of a bright dot surrounded by a closed hexagon, was observed in air/argon dielectric barrier discharge. It was found that the center dot, the vertex of hexagon and the center of hexagon side in a cell have different brightness. By using optical emission spectra, the vibrational temperature in the center dot, the vertex of hexagon and the center of hexagon side was measured, respectively. The variations in the vibrational temperature at these three places as a function of the content of argon in gas mixture were also studied. The vibrational temperature was calculated by emission spectral lines of the N2 second positive band system (C3Πu→B3Πg). The experimental results show that the vibrational temperature of the center dot, the vertex of hexagon and the center of hexagon side is in the ascending order and decreases with the increase in the content of argon in gas mixture.
