Abstract

The interactions between inert gases and nitrogen in direct current triode discharges were discussed. It was found that for nitrogen partial pressures of less than 10%, an increase in atomic nitrogen species was absorbed for both inert gas discharges. The dissociation of nitrogen molecular species by inert gas metastables was also elaborated.
