This paper reports a study on self–organized striation plasmas generated under kPa pressure level. It focuses especially on the characteristics of argon striation plasmas, the role of metastable atoms on the generation of striation argon plasmas, and the effect of addition of gas species to the argon striation plasmas. Under our discharge conditions, the generation of argon striation plasmas is related to ionization instability, which is caused by the step‐wise ionization, deviation of the distribution from Maxwellian electron energy distribution, and inhomogeneous gas heating. Nitrogen can effectively quench the argon metastable atoms; therefore, it significantly affects the formation of striation plasma.

kPa压力水平下的氩自组织条纹等离子体

本文报道了在kPa压力水平下产生的自组织条纹等离子体的研究。它特别关注于氩气条纹等离子体的特性，亚稳态原子在氩气条纹等离子体的生成中的作用以及向氩气条纹等离子体中添加气体种类的影响。在我们的放电条件下，氩气条纹等离子体的产生与电离不稳定性有关，这是由逐步电离，麦克斯韦电子能量分布的分布偏差以及气体加热不均匀引起的。氮气可以有效地淬灭氩亚稳原子；因此，它显着影响条纹血浆的形成。
