摘要
A method is described for measuring the quenching rate coefficient kt of rare gas atoms in a given metastable state by a molecule acting within the discharge. This method provides "in situ" rates which take into account the quenching of metastables by both the molecule and its fragments. Such a method is applied to determine the quenching rate of Ar(3P2) metastables by C4F8 and by CF4 molecules, yielding kt values of (9±2) × 10-10 and (2±1.5) × 10-11 cm-3 s-1, respectively. In situ rates are essential for accurate modelling of plasma processes. © 1990.
