Description

The Flowing Afterglow Langmuir Probe (FALP) apparatus, with microwave discharge (2.5 GHz, 25-75 W) as a plasma source, was used to study evolution of the Electron Energy Distribution Function (EEDF) in the low pressure (50 to 85 Pa) argon flowing afterglow plasma. The polyatomic molecular reactants such as n-hexane and benzene were added to the argon carrier gas in order to study their influence on the EEDF and its relaxation. Some aspects of the determination of the plasma parameters from the Langmuir probe measurements are discussed. (author) 12 refs., 3 figs
