Elucidation of dissociation mechanisms of a dielectric barrier discharge for volatile species
Final Report Abstract
A mechanistic study on the temporal behavior of the emission of tellurium, hydrogen and helium species in the plasma of a capillary DBD under analytical conditions was presented. By recording highly temporal resolved full band spectra of the plasma emission, the line intensities of these species were tracked along the discharge cycle. The comparison of two different Te transitions showed, that the maximum emission from the Te 225.9 nm transition with a lower upper energy level is delayed to the signal from the Te 238.6 nm line. At this later time during the discharge cycle, the intensity of the hydrogen background is low. This results in an enhanced signal to background ratio for the 225.9 nm line. Therefore, this line serves as a good candidate for future temporally resolved calibration measurements. The knowledge of the point in time with optimal signal to background ratio allows to record a tellurium spectrum with significantly suppressed background signal. The great advantage of this approach is, that for future calibration measurements there is no need for subtracting the hydrogen background signal, which results in shorter measurement time and reduced consumption of reagents.
